In this video, a woman peed in public and a street comes to stand still. What does it tell about us as a society?
Raise your hands, if you have seen men peeing on the streets. Ofcourse we all have! However, watch this video, which is a social experiment. In this video, a woman pees in public and hell breaks loose. A Street comes to stand still.
People stare, take photos, but it becomes outrageous when someone tries to stone the girl. When asked, the man who stoned replies that he has mother and sister in his house too.

This video exclusively shows us, how we have different rule books for both men and women. It’s not to promote women peeing on the streets. Infact, no one should. But if someone is being stoned for it, something is terribly wrong. By his standard, it’s never okay for a woman to do it, for it is an attack on the honor of a society.

This video shows only one thing very clearly, the different ways we treat man and woman in this country. Have a look.

Vasudha, age 28 – is an excellent dancer, writer, podcaster and a mandala artist. She is talented young woman, a go getter and wouldn’t bat an eyelid if she had to try anything new. She would go head on with it. Everyone knew Vasudha as this cheerful and pretty young lady.
Except when marriage changed everything she knew. Since she was always outdoors, whether for office or for travelling for her dance shows, Vasudha didn’t know how to cook well.
Going by her in-laws definition of cooking – she had to know how to cook any dishes they mentioned. Till then Vasudha didn’t know that learning to cook was similar to getting an educational qualification.
