POWER AND ABUSE

Recently I visited the passport office, obviously for my passport verification.

I was slut shamed by the superintendent something officer there, so the thing was, I was wearing a Kurti that was sleeveless with a scarf..but still, she said all the mean things she could...that it's because of people like me that rapes happen, its people like me that provoke boys and let them follow us and all....and cry in the end when things happen.

i don't know how a boy takes it but as a female, you know it can be traumatizing, it was abuse I say.

first of all that day morning I was wearing a saree for a college event kind of thing, so my instinct involuntarily chooses a comfortable dress, maybe it was my mistake to wear such kind of dress, but still, that doesn't gives her any kind of right to say all that shit to me, just because she a position or power to handle it...and later when I came out and had to fill a feedback form, there was an option /rating sort of thing for her in that form, she sent someone to check that. if she was that concerned she shouldn't have done that, I have no option too to fight against her, she has the approval right, of course I don't even have a great background to withstand if something big happens.....I mean for a moment, for a brief moment I thought about raising a complaint too. I felt terrible.

and then something similar happened with that police verification guy too, it's a ridiculous story, let just say, money is everything, and it can make impossible, possible in this era. kaliyugh indeed.

what my point is... just because you have power over or because you have the privilege of handling something or someone that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want,

This happens at every place in our everyday lives, it is the weakest or powerless people who get affected every time.

It is always the seniority or higher position or elder in age that has power and I know not everyone would do that facing one is enough for this one life.

Having power and misusing..it is absurd.

I mean at least people should respect you for you as a person, not for your position.

Especially government officials...do they even realize that they are working for people.

I don't know how many things I have to face things in my life...sometimes few things just feel ridiculous that I don't even feel like writing about it.
