Oh yeah, the guys who keep staring at you. Haha, I remember I was with my mom, some one or the other always used to stare at her....the trick was to give them an intimidating look that says "I will   🤬 off if you look at her again"; Basically to let the person know that I am aware of him staring at my mom. Believe me, it worked.

I am not sure if that works...... its india..... ogling in common...desis come here and ogle atblondes.and abcd's.😆so you cant do much..they might misinterpret nasty looks for sexy..and chase you further😆so eye contact should be avoided but if they whistle tor do something like that.. the girls have the girl power.. turning around and trying to take out the sandals or asking "ghar main maa behen nahi hai kya" is the most intimidating thing for that guy in public who might just run away.. no guy wants to be mob lynched and beaten with sandals.. This works in mumbai pune... not sure if it works in jaunpur, patna or delhi..etc whererowdyism for some is a life-style...😆

Rowdyism is not a lifestyle in Delhi 😡 And it works! 😡 My mom usually ignores their stares, but I can't tolerate them looking at my mom, who's married with to kids. I keep looking at them till they realize that I am aware of who they are looking at am look away 😛 And you say it's India as if India is the root of all common social ills. Remember you're Indian too, and India has just as many good things as bad, being one of the 2 countries who's GDP went up during the recent recession, and the rate of advancement after independence has been remarkable, certain better than America's. You can't be judging the whole country based on what some people who haven't been taught etiquette and courtesy.

According to United States Department of Justice document Criminal Victimization in the United States, there were overall 191,670 victims of rape or sexual assault reported in 2005. Only 16% of rapes and sexual assaults are reported to the police (Rape in America: A Report to the Nation. 1992).

1 of 6 U.S. women has experienced an attempted or completed rape. (according to Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault)

Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Compared to India with 0.0143187 per 1,000 people .

Both in India and USA, most rape incidents dont get reported (not according to me, but according to both the countries authorities).

So on an average ... things go wild in the West aswell.

Now lets consider Sweden ... things can get wild there aswell.

It all depends where you go, how responsible you are about yourself and how effectively you carry yourself. At the end of the day, when among people with significant number of morally starved humanoids ... one must keep an eye for their own safety ... FOR THEIR OWN SAKE.

By the way ... the summers are still HOT.... LOL ... thats what we were here for 😳

just worry about dengue, h1n1 and rest is fine.. baki .. its ok...if you have abcd's you need to avoid giving them only boiled mineral water.. thats the only thing...beyond that its upto you.. khane dhone (haath, muh), nahane  ka sab pani mineral water ho sakta hai.. just get a malpanis tanker hooked up..to the over head tank.😆 [/QUOTE]

Qwerts, diarrhea and typhoid are my major worries too.  Yes, my kids do nahana dhona with RO water when they were toddlers as they used to gulp water while bathing.  These days, I use RO treated water for rinsing mouth etc and we do just fine.  I don't trust the mineral water sold outside either.  All my relatives have ROs or aqua guard installed so clean water is not a problem no matter which gaon I visit😆

I am still amazed that you think being careful about water translates into demanding mineral water.  When did you start trusting the vendors out there?
