Happend to go 4 the RTO office last week. My purpose was to go there renew my LMV LLR and come back. As per the instructions from my driving school i jus went there half an hour before time. As usual the office was closed till 9:30 AM. There was a long Q of around 70 - 80 persons and i was in the 30 - 40 mark. Time passed on and we waited almost half an hour. Suddenly a gang of gals came in, some were women. They dint mind the Q, just went in and formed a separate Q. Some guys started murmuring like "Vandhutaalunga..","Ivalunga ennatha otti kizhikaporaanga.." etc. The person in the counter said that he ll receive the fees in alternate manner like a guy and a gal. We were around 100 by that time, they were just 5 or 6. Within 10 minutes all 6 of them got their job done and went to take the test. We were waiting in the same Q for the next 20 minutes. Some ppl returned empty handed since the time was over.
        If you can get a LLR in 10 minutes just becoz u r a gal while other guys have been waiting for an hour, who is the weaker sex here? What was surprising is that some guys started arguing with the officers, they told "Ithanai peru nikkarenga onnu rendu ponnunga nadula vaangitu pona ennavaam?". "Are we ppl mentally retarded to stand for hours?" asked one guy. He received special treatments from the officers.

Why this kinda attitude? Arent we equal?
Are their legs gonna pain more if they stand in a Q?
Are they gonna loose their virginity if they stand in the same Q with guys?

the gals are not to be blamed, anyone who has an advantage will try to use it. It is the system that has to be blamed. I find this in many places, for eg. in a bus if we sit in a ladies seat, there ll be some one to chuck us out. But if they sit in a gents seat and we try to push them(provided they dont have a baby or not old) ppl around including gents will bark at us. Why this bias in the society?
Like Racism, Caste based discrimination etc. Sexism also has to be banned.

When i came out of the office with an LLR. thought to myself

"Porandhaalum Aambalaya Porakka Koodaathu
Appadi porandhuvitta govt. office pogakoodaathu..."
[Reminded a Chandrababu song]

I have a feeling that this doesnt happen in North India....

P.S: This post is not against Thaaikulam. Just to convey the stupid attitude of our ppl. Infact i have to share my life in the near future with a gal :-)
