What the bullshit? Do you wanna convey that somebody approached you and tried to initiate a talk?
I have done that a couple of time. Of course, with no covert intentions. I always believe in getting acquainted with stranger (both boys and girls) whenever I am travelling alone. Some of them are very good friends now. It's a skill to talk to a stranger, first you've to overcome the hesitation. And these kinds of blog are trying to kill such skillful people like me.
see somehow u either are missing a point here or rather being too paranoid abt boys/guys trying to talk to you... The rest of your unwanted things seem good not this one... ok!!
While I do support the cause behind this blog, I am unable to understand the offense in some of the posts. I am sorry, but some of these do border on persecution mania or simply prejudice against certain people, maybe based on their color of skin, education (or lack of), etc. More specifically about this particular post, if someone wants to get to know you better and talk to you, there is nothing wrong with that. Unless, you make it clear that you do in fact mind if he joins you and that you couldn't care less where he was from. Other than that, I am sorry I really don't see how you could be offended by the scenario described in the illustration.

How often have you been witness or mute spectator to 'eve teasing'? How many times have you whistled, leched, stalked or passed remarks at a girl or a woman on the streets 'just for fun'?

Blank - that which is not allowed meaning, form or articulation. Noise - that which heightens, builds itself.
'Eve Teasing' in India is considered a joke or prank. Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project that seeks to explore street dynamics and recognize 'eve teasing' as street sexual harassment or violence.
Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project begun in August 2003 with a small group of 9 participants. Conceived as a personal reaction to street sexual harassment, the project has grown through workshops and local volunteers to a five-city, hundred-plus volunteer project that seeks to address street sexual violence through dialogue made possible as a result of sustained public interventions.
