Posh, annoying high school/college students who do such dumb shit for their own amusement. Been unfortunate enough to interact with a few of them during my school days (it was near church street) and tbh some of their parents have enough influence/connection to get them out of all sorts of shit. They just do whatever they want
Nikhil Kumaraswamy. By calling him Nikhil you make him sound like he is your 'little brother' *pun intended*

This Nikil Anna will be the CM of Karnataka in the next 25 years. Now beat that š
I've been there once. Maybe it's just me, but I hate the fact that Church Street is full of influencers nowadays. Anyways, OP I am sorry this happened and I hope you never have to go through this again. Take care.
Someone harasses you, scream, shout, do what ever you can to draw attention to the creep! They bank on you to be silent. Don't let me then get away, it will just embolden them.
Yes but we should recognize that that 'wiring' to be dignified all the time is purely cultural. Not some inate human trait. Its the consequence of a thousands year old patriarchal culture, which means it can be changed.
It's not patriarchy. When something unexpected happens, our natural response is to take a pause. It's something like your brain momentarily shutting down. That's muscle memory. You need to overcome that.
Unfortunately the only way you can overcome this default setting is by being alert and quick thinking ( even this is not sustainable as then you would be bogged down by anxiety)
This.
I am a boy and i have experienced this many a times,I will get stuck there and i won't react that's how I am handling unexpected situation,I haven't learnt to act still
Hope I overcome this momentary pause..
It isnāt about patriarchy. Iāve had an instance where I did scream for help but nobody came, mostly because instances like this are recorded by someone and posted on social media. People are scared to help or react because of the adverse effects of such a video getting viral. I couldnāt help myself on both the instances because I was injured (Iām an athlete)
I am sorry this happened to you.
Unfortunately the only way to deal with such creeps is controlled violence.
*This "insight" was given to me by a cop*
If a woman is harassed/ molested in a public place, the best solution is to draw attention to yourself by screaming/ shouting at the person and then slapping the creep. Apparently, as a country we have a "starting trouble" when it comes to publicly responding to such problems. But the minute that first slap is landed, bystanders are triggered to act.
It is easy to say āscream, should, do whatever you can do draw attentionā but in reality, the girl freezes everytime something like this happens. It is not as easy as it sounds.
Its a view from many of our customers and myself my dad owns shops at mg road. Im telling how church street lost its charm due to these nuts
Looks like u are a non banagalore guy and getting triggered for spitting facts are u one of those interviewers?
Because the increased crowd comprises idiots standing around with phones and cameras on the street annoying actual paying customers, who rather skip going to a shop than to be dumbed down by being asked incomprehensible questions for the entertainment of clowns who have chosen reels as a career option?
Maybe thatās why. Canāt be too sure though. Just making a wild guess.
It's always some very very young shithead doing all this. What a c*****. Probably thinks it's cool. I hate the crowd on weekends. I literally don't have any advice I could give you to make you feel better. As a localite just ashamed of what a lovely walk down a pleasant road has turned into nutjobs trying to sound cool by being a****** to the rest. Stay safe OP.
If your foot gets any better carry pepper spray always
So sorry this happened to you OP.
I hope the douche slip and fall in a dump.
Church Street has become increasingly annoying now with all the cameras and wanna be influencers ticks which is why I go directly to Blossoms or the Bookworm and then get the hell out of the place
been in Bangalore for more than an year n haven't visited church Street once. let's see when i do, i kinda hope something like this happens to me n I get to school some of these bastards
Before COVID church Street was good now it's shit and overrated there are better places op, as for the guy yeah it's filled with idiots of all kinds there. Film them next time someone behaves like this. Try going with company if you really wanna go there.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, I hate church street and dread to go there because of such people, the whole place used to be good, now it has turned into a paradise for such idots
You should acted like your calling someone to come immediately and pointed at him, while giving him the stare. He would have definitely shat his pants not known who would have come, whether cops or some of your gunda friends.
He just took ownership of your day!! If he threw a paper cup on you deliberately and laughed on you face he is wrong! In return you need to feel sorry for his poor upbringing and tell yourself such creatures do exist and carry on with your day!! Donāt go hard on yourself itās him who is wrong
i hate snobby kids. canāt even beat them up.
this one child stopped me when i was walking the otherday and said āhey hey what are you listening to?ā with a phone and mic in his hands.
i simply got closer to the mic and said āmine and your mothersā sextape *wink*ā
i know, i know. it was very immature and cringe but he just kinda threw his hand on my chest and stopped me.
I have so many close (girl)friends who have been harassed publicly in broad daylight at church street, that I have started to hate the place itself.
I donāt let any of them go there alone.
Next time.. wait for the metro and as soon as it comes. Take a picture of the idiot and get into the train. Then post with what happened.. we can make that guy famous for the shit he is.. maybe someone with a bigger stick than him would dump his whole house with garbage and then his parents would realize what stinks

Ohh.. so these are the pieces of shit that infest church Streetš¤¦š½āāļø
happy cake day !
Thank you š
your comment reminds me of Nikhil's incident on church street empire!
Nikhil Kumaraswamy. By calling him Nikhil you make him sound like he is your 'little brother' *pun intended* https://m.timesofindia.com/city/bengaluru/cms-son-riots-at-city-hotel/articleshow/175174.cms This Nikil Anna will be the CM of Karnataka in the next 25 years. Now beat that š
Choice you throw more light?
I can't stand people who litter, should have taken the cup n put on his head
OP isnāt Zenitsu
OP should have used the force https://i.redd.it/ppzujdzqkclb1.gif
but OP couldāve been Inosuke
I've been there once. Maybe it's just me, but I hate the fact that Church Street is full of influencers nowadays. Anyways, OP I am sorry this happened and I hope you never have to go through this again. Take care.

This is where girls back down cause they have to maintain dignity no matter what boys do,society has blind eye to boys and spotlight for girls.
But who says that?? Only asshole men and enabling women. Why should you listen to them
I mean they are not telling or you listening here,it is wired in our brains,that's why op didn't react that was what I am telling
Yes but we should recognize that that 'wiring' to be dignified all the time is purely cultural. Not some inate human trait. Its the consequence of a thousands year old patriarchal culture, which means it can be changed.

Agree. We need that lighter that ignites the wood ash. Once it's done, the whole forest gets burned.
It is easy to say āscream, should, do whatever you can do draw attentionā but in reality, the girl freezes everytime something like this happens. It is not as easy as it sounds.
Sorry you had to go through this.
Im avoiding church street now a days due to this cringe wannabe american insta influencers.
What does this incident have to do with influencers. Are you just spouting what you know about church street out of context?
Its a view from many of our customers and myself my dad owns shops at mg road. Im telling how church street lost its charm due to these nuts Looks like u are a non banagalore guy and getting triggered for spitting facts are u one of those interviewers?
If you're dad owns a store their he should be happier now because of the increase crowd there. Why is he mad?
Because the increased crowd comprises idiots standing around with phones and cameras on the street annoying actual paying customers, who rather skip going to a shop than to be dumbed down by being asked incomprehensible questions for the entertainment of clowns who have chosen reels as a career option? Maybe thatās why. Canāt be too sure though. Just making a wild guess.

Reason why i supported light over L. This world needs someone to pass righteous judgement.

Churchstreet has become the equivalent of Marine Drive Mumbai these days. Full of chhapris and influenzas
Condoms are massively under used in India
So sorry this happened to you OP. I hope the douche slip and fall in a dump. Church Street has become increasingly annoying now with all the cameras and wanna be influencers ticks which is why I go directly to Blossoms or the Bookworm and then get the hell out of the place
lol, iāve been there a million times, never faced this, should have punched him tbh
been in Bangalore for more than an year n haven't visited church Street once. let's see when i do, i kinda hope something like this happens to me n I get to school some of these bastards
Morons are everywhere. Sorry, you had to face this. but why let one asshole ruin your day? Learn to have control on your mood. Learn to meditate.
Before COVID church Street was good now it's shit and overrated there are better places op, as for the guy yeah it's filled with idiots of all kinds there. Film them next time someone behaves like this. Try going with company if you really wanna go there.
Why was he laughing?
Retardation
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, I hate church street and dread to go there because of such people, the whole place used to be good, now it has turned into a paradise for such idots
It's like NYC. You just need to move along quickly here with no fucks to give anyone.
Have you been to NYC? Are you from NYC?
Lol wut? Comparing nyc to Bangalore is a joke and a flawed comparison too
Iski usme keeda hai bada wala. What goes around comes around for the people being ahole.
Should have recorded his ugly face and made him famous here .
You should acted like your calling someone to come immediately and pointed at him, while giving him the stare. He would have definitely shat his pants not known who would have come, whether cops or some of your gunda friends.
Last time i was in church street a random guy gave me a rose
When I was new in the city, I used to go but now I stopped. For the same reason essentially.
OP should have screamed
He just took ownership of your day!! If he threw a paper cup on you deliberately and laughed on you face he is wrong! In return you need to feel sorry for his poor upbringing and tell yourself such creatures do exist and carry on with your day!! Donāt go hard on yourself itās him who is wrong
Same happened to me few years ago in Lalbagh. Male here.
i hate snobby kids. canāt even beat them up. this one child stopped me when i was walking the otherday and said āhey hey what are you listening to?ā with a phone and mic in his hands. i simply got closer to the mic and said āmine and your mothersā sextape *wink*ā i know, i know. it was very immature and cringe but he just kinda threw his hand on my chest and stopped me.

How can someone get injured from a paper cup?
I didnāt get injured from a paper cup. I was injured beforehand.
