Complaining of the girls' gauzy saris, low-cut cholis (blouses) and flimsy salwar (trousers), a student cried: "There is always too much visible." Conceded a Lucknow University coed: "At times we also tease boys." And for sheer devilish ingenuity, few Eve-teasers could match the New Delhi girl who telephones males at random, starting conversations that are hard for many an innocent husband to explain.
