I finished my household work and was planning to go outside. But
due to heavy rainfall, I was feeling a bit lazy, so just started browsing the television
channels. An interesting advertisement of new application was running on the Television.
It was about ‘WeChat’ an application where we can connect with our friends or
anyone from all over the globe instantly. I was quite excited to learn about
its various features like voice messages, video calls, sharing pictures, and instant
messaging within a group and immediately viewed its features on WeChat’sYoutube Channel.
I was very much fascinated by the App as it was totally free and hence immediately started
downloading it on my Android Phone. While the downloading of the App was in
process, I was watching the News Channel. A talk show was being telecasted on ‘Nirbhaya’s
case, a girl who was raped in a bus in Delhi. All the participants were giving
all kind of Gyaan to the media. It was very disturbing me.
And suddenly I heard a beep on my mobile phone. Oh, the WeChat
was being downloaded completely on my mobile. And immediately after the
download, I got a message from some unknown number.
“Hi, Did you recognize me?’
No, I didn’t , whose number is this?, I said.
Then suddenly I got a voice message and we started Chat on
‘WeChat’.
‘Hi, I am Nirbhaya. You forgot me so early. I was in news since last few months and you forgot me so early?” Said Nirbhaya.
I was quite shocked to see Nirbhaya on WeChat. “Hey, how are
you? People are giving news about you on television that you are no more, and how come
you are on Chat with me?
She replied, “Who said I am dead? I am still alive in this
world. I live in India, I am still alive and struggling in all the small parts of villages and
cities. Till a suitable law is passed, I will still be alive and will be part of such talk shows’. And then I heard noise of a cry.
"Don’t Cry Nirbhaya," I replied, "everything will be alright. We all
are with you.” But I didn’t not get any answer.
I started shaking my phone to find out where is ‘Nirbhaya’ and suddenly I found ‘Bahar Datta’ a News Channel Reporter. She joined
the chat with me on ‘WeChat’. Bahar Datta asked me , Where is Nirbhaya? I
wanted to take an exclusive interview on my Channel. I will give her lot of
publicity on my news channel. She will be popular all over the world. Her photo will be published in all the leading newspapers in India and internationally. I have contacts with all
the higher authorities of Media”
I replied,’ Bahar, Nirbhaya has already left the chat, even I am
searching her.’
She replied, ‘Its okay, I will find some other for my News channel.’ She left the conversation.
She replied, ‘Its okay, I will find some other for my News channel.’ She left the conversation.
Then ‘Bapu Maharaj’ pinged me. ‘Namaste, I am Bapu Maharaj. I
have heard that you were chatting with Nirbhaya. I wanted to give some advice to her.
I said, ‘Nirbahaya has already left the conversation, even Bahar
Datta is searching her.”
Bapu Maharaj replied,’ Bahar is very selfish. She only wants
news for her channel’. Anyways, please pass on my message to Nirbhaya and all
such girls. My advice to them is whenever they go out, they should carry a ‘Rakhi’
with them. ‘Rakhi’ is the best weapon to
save themselves from any critical situation. Whenever they come across any such
situation, they should immediately tie ‘Rakhi’ to the man and make him brother.
There will be no rapes in this country.
I replied,’ Definitely, Bapu Maharaj, You are really great. where
were you since so many days?
Bapu Maharaj thanked me and merrily left the conversation.
Then I found two people calling me for a Group Chat one was a film Producer ‘Ram Kumar Verma’ and an actress
‘Rekha Sawant’. Both invited me for a Group Chat on WeChat.
Ram Kumar Verma, "Hi, I have heard that you know Nirbhaya.
Please tell me something about her. I am going to make a realistic film on her
life. And don’t worry for the compensation, it will be in millions".
Then Rekha Sawant also sent an instant message,’ Hey I am the main heroine of this film. I have suggested
some changes in the film, where the girl will be shown from a poor family and gets job in
a Bar as Dancer. There will be few item numbers in our movie.” She then also
shared some of her ‘hot’ pictures from that movie by using the feature of sharing pictures on WeChat.
I screamed,’What??? Item number in the film based on life of Nirbhaya???
Ram Kumar Verma replied, ‘Yes, we had to make some changes in
the story of Nirbhaya’s life for some commercial aspects and success of the film. Hence, we have
added few item numbers. But don’t worry, the rape scenes would be shot
intensely and will definitely get an award for this film’.
I left the conversation this time.
I was thinking of Nirbhaya and again got a message ‘You are
thinking about me. I am here.’ Nirbhaya
was back on the Chat.
I sent her the history of our chat to her and in response, she
just forwarded a smiley face from WeChat to me.
I replied, "Don’t worry, Nirbhaya, I will definitely represent
your case as a common person to the highest authorities. You will get justice at the earliest."
I then sent an message to Mr. Madan Mohan Singh to seek justice
for Nirbhaya and to my surprise he joined the chat. He replied to my message.
But it was a blank message. I re-forwarded my message to him.
But in response I got a blank reply.
I sent him a voice message on WeChat, but in response I got a
blank or silent reply.
I was very much annoyed and started shaking my phone and
suddenly …………
My son woke me up. He was asking me, Mom, what are you doing?
Why are you shaking your mobile in the sleep and why the TV is on.?
I woke up and realized that I was in dream.
My prayer to the almighty to get justice to Nirbhaya as soon as possible....
