17th February

THE UNIVERSITY CANTEEN

'Hello...hello bhaiyya'

came the calm voice from behind just as they were wrapping up their lunches

The trio looked up to welcome the young man who'd just joined them at their table

'Hello Jalal'

'Aao baito...'

'Hey Jodha' he greeted her as he dragged out his chair

She took a few moments longer than usual to glance his way

'Hey Jalal' she wished him back with a formal smile and 'Stay still' she told her heart as she did so - a futile attempt to calm its hastening beats ever since she'd sensed him approaching seconds ago. A few 'personal thoughts' from the previous evening that were playing in her head seemed to be having that strange effect on her 'How silly' she reminded herself a minute later. With much more serious issues unfolding, why was her mind was busy harping on all those pointless random thoughts?

'Thank you...' Bade bhaiyya spoke up - addressing the young man after setting down his spoon 'Jodha told us how you'd helped her out day before yesterday...'

Impressed, he cast his awkward junior a quick look - before reverting his attention to the brother 'Jalal...' bhaiyya continued with gratitude 'Its because of decent youngsters like yourself, that families like ours are able to confidently send our sisters and daughters to colleges and offices today...'

Hiding his amusement at the irony of that last statement, Jalal nodded in acknowledgement like a 'good-lad'. Decent, eh? Thankfully; the brothers knew nothing of his 'interesting' history with their kid-sister or more importantly, the mischievous ideas he had in his mind pertaining to her!

Just then, he caught her watching him - she was deciphering those sly responses of his with a part-annoyed part-amused frown. She knew what was cooking in his mind. He knew that she knew what was cooking in his mind - but, he couldn't really help his thoughts, could he?

'Jodha' Kranti bhaiyya suddenly interrupted the pair's hush hush jokes 'Chalo...lunch khatam hua...let's head back to the office again...'

Noticing the signs of panic instantly beginning to cloud her elegant features, Jalal took the cue at once 'Errr bhaiyya...' he faced them - his manner composed 'Aap kyun tension lete ho...actually, I have an idea...'

The next ten minutes, Jalal and Jodha were busy convincing the determined trio that they needn't worry themselves unnecessarily 'Twisted situations sometimes need to be handled in their own twisted ways...and students can tackle such issues skilfully bhaiyya... ' was the crux of their entire message.

Not surprisingly, a lot of 'What ifs' and 'Buts' were raised through the course of the discussions, but the compelling case presented by the Jodha-Jalal duo couldn't be overlooked after a certain point.

After all, the brothers HAD witnessed the hungama that morning - the authorities hadn't relented and their sister's name had been slandered as a result. A new strategy might not be uncalled for now!

Before long, the twosome had achieved what they'd set out to - assuring the men that they could turn over the matter to the students and leave the premises with confidence. Fifteen minutes later; Jodha was bidding her brothers adieu at the college gate!
No sooner than her family had left, she rejoined him at the canteen.

Right away welcoming her return with a playful 'Hello again' wink, he waited for the upbeat junior to take her seat beside him so that the pair could go on to do what they had to -

They began by opening up their contact lists!

GROUNDS OUTSIDE THE OFFICE BUILDING

1:20 pm

The closest circle of 'trusted' friends were the first ones to receive two different sets of SMS templates -

Have you been teased or harassed in your own campus? If so, today is the day to raise your voice! Anti EVE-Teasing rally outside the AD office building @ 3pm

Stop Eve-Teasing! Pass on the msg to all you know

Be a MAN! Respect Women and support the men who do! Join the Anti EVE-Teasing rally outside the SRI AD office building @ 3pm. Bring your friends along.

Each group member individually understood what needed to be done. Wasting no time, Abdul, Maan, Meera, Payal, Renu and Salim began by opening up their contact lists in their respective places!

1:40 pm

The next circle of 'trusted' friends had received the SMSes -

Most of Jalal's remaining classmates, close acquaintances from Jodha's class, students from other courses that he was on good terms with and mates from his football-team, to name a few. The word was spreading and the message was clear!

2:00 pm

Students had started trickling onto the University grounds. Everyone was talking about the texts they'd received. 'Did you know' and 'Have you heard' were the most common whispers making the rounds. Stories had begun circulating - curiosity was rife! However, no worries - there were enough friends of Jalal's and Jodha's amongst the gathering to answer anyone's doubts.

3:00 pm

The lush campus grounds outside the main building right the way through to the AD's office now appeared more like a busy fish market rather than part of a prestigious University.

Students who adored Jodha, students who were in awe of Jalal, students who wanted to earnestly fight for the cause, students who owed Jalal a favour, students who had scores to settle with dimwits like Shareef and the sort, students who had nothing better to do - all of them had made it to the grounds.

They'd kicked-started a rally without really giving it much thought and it was not long before the domino effect took shape.

Young ladies were beginning to discover other 'friends' - victims of similar eve-teasing incidents. Needless to say; Shareef, Anand and their good-for-nothing confederates were the most prominently featured names among the list of culprits!

In no time; scenes of angry women demanding justice started playing out in front of the AD's office. If ladies in their college were being subjected to such harassment, it definitely called for a protest, did it not?

Beberapa 'pemikiran pribadi' dari malam sebelumnya yang sedang bermain di kepalanya tampaknya memiliki efek yang aneh pada dirinya 'Bagaimana konyol' dia mengingatkan dirinya suatu saat nanti.

Bade bhaiyya berbicara up - menangani orang muda setelah pengaturan di sendok nya 'Jodha memberitahu kami bagaimana Anda telah membantunya keluar hari sebelum kemarin...'Terkesan, ia dilemparkan muda canggung sekilas - sebelum reverting perhatiannya kepada saudara 'Jalal...' bhaiyya dilanjutkan dengan rasa syukur ' yang karena anak-anak yang layak seperti diri sendiri, keluarga seperti kita bisa yakin mengirim saudara perempuan dan anak-anak perempuan kami perguruan tinggi dan kantor hari ini...'Hiding his amusement at the irony of that last statement, Jalal nodded in acknowledgement like a 'good-lad'.

Jika wanita di kampus mereka sedang mengalami pelecehan tersebut, pasti disebut protes, melakukannya tidak?
