I have always believed that the greatest and the biggest movement happens when there is a political will and looking at whats happening in and around Delhi there is no doubt that there is a lack of it and that's why we are all so unsafe...This is nothing new, this has been waiting to happen for a long time. The anger in the minds are pouring on the streets but not sure how long it will be there and not sure if eventually something will seriously move...but between all these there is a whole world where things are moving...
Just came back from Hampi and I found something very encouraging and interesting and I thought I should blog about it. In Hampi , most of the buildings come under the UNESCO world heritage sites and its mandatory to preserve them and therefore local/ private vehicles are not allowed to the temple complex that houses the famed Chariot, something that has come to symbolize Hampi. So there are these huge golf-cart type vehicles that ply between the parking and the temple.
But whats more amazing is that all of them are driven by women drivers with out exception; So after a 10 min wait and seeing only women driving the carts, my curiosity got the best of me and I asked the ticket issuer , who by the way was also flanked with 2 woman assistants , whats the whole story and to my utter pleasure he said "boys ko diye to ruff and tuff drive kartey aur gaadi kharab kar dete" :D :D :D :D . I just wanted to broadcast it to all those men who think we don't make great drivers....but the crux of it was its also a government initiative.....so where there is a will there is a way!!!!!
