Relationships are often tested the most in trying times. And at a time like this, when all family members are at home, it can become frustrating not to have the personal space that you once had. Remember, if it is challenging for you, it is difficult for your partner as well. So, instead of getting on each other’s nerves, try to spend more time talking to one another. Watch a movie, play board games, listen to music – basically do things that can strengthen your relationship.

On lanes, in transports, schools, workplaces and stops, and even police headquarters and emergency clinics. Lewd behaviour and brutality against ladies are widespread to such an extent that society doesn't think about following or grabbing or verbal provocation to be not kidding issues.
