Harassment: Sexual or otherwise - is not OK.

That sticker can be seen all around campus. A tiny round sticker stuck on walls, on doors, on fire extinguishers, in the toilets, on the mirrors, near hand dryers, places where people look at.

And those words, they somehow creep into your head. And stays there. I guess that's what its meant to do. Remind you. Tell you.

And my day today was entirely spoilt by it.

First thing in the morning, I went in to work, not even 10 minutes later, I was greeted by it. And today, somehow, I find it even more revolting than I usually do. And it was really horrible. I was pretty much quiet the whole day. I tried to cheer myself up. Gobbled down sugar. Didn't help much. When I went for group meeting, that unhappy moody feeling has mostly seeped away. Came home, took a bath, and washed it all off.

And now, happy to report, it's nothing but a small fragment of my memory, at least till it gets brought up to the surface again.

Sigh.

P.S.: Excuse the emo-ness. It has been a rough day.
