00:00I got zero donor calls.
00:02All I got for two days were random messages.
00:05And then they'd murmur things like,
00:07madam sex, madam sex.
00:09And I was like...
00:30Soon after we got her admitted,
00:49the doctor told us that, you know,
00:51we should either proceed with plasma
00:53or the injections because
00:55the infection had gone to her lungs
00:57and she was suffering from
00:59moderate pneumonia.
01:01So we thought, okay,
01:03it's not a very big deal.
01:05We'll arrange a plasma.
01:07We know a lot of people.
01:09I am very social. My dad's very social.
01:11My mom's very social. We have people.
01:13We'll arrange it somehow.
01:15You wouldn't believe...
01:17I mean, maybe it was her tricky blood group,
01:19AB positive or what.
01:21We couldn't even find a single donor.
01:23Then we consulted a few other doctors,
01:25apart from the one at the hospital.
01:27And we were told that, you know what,
01:29injection has a higher success rate.
01:31So go for the injections.
01:33It's okay if you can't get the plasma.
01:35And the injections were not available
01:37in Delhi anywhere.
01:39I thought, okay,
01:41the first thing I should do is put up a story.
01:43That's what my father did on his WhatsApp.
01:45That's what I did on my Instagram.
01:47And while I was putting up that story,
01:49I thought, you know what,
01:51I should share my dad's number.
01:53But when I was putting in his number,
01:55he'll probably get overwhelmed with calls.
01:57So let me direct these
01:59set of calls to myself.
02:01And I just put in my number.
02:03And I had a little feeling
02:05that this could go somewhere wrong.
02:07But I did not let it come to the surface,
02:09honestly.
02:11Because it wasn't a priority, right?
02:13And stupid me, I was assuming that
02:15this might not happen. I'm just overthinking it.
02:17For two days, like I told you,
02:19I got zero donor calls.
02:21Zero.
02:23Like zero.
02:25All I got for two days were random messages.
02:29Calls where people were not saying anything
02:31from the other side, waiting for me
02:33to say something. I don't know, maybe to
02:35figure out if it's actually a girl on the other side
02:37or what's the thing.
02:39And as soon as I would say, hello, who's speaking?
02:41They would start murmuring things.
02:43I took like a more rude tone.
02:45I was like, kaun bol raha hai?
02:47And then they'd murmur things like,
02:49madam sex, madam sex.
02:51I was like...
02:53I got disgusted. I put down the phone.
02:55And then I started getting messages.
02:57Messages like,
02:59ma'am, sex,
03:01hi, hi, ma'am, sex.
03:03So I was absolutely disgusted.
03:05I had put my phone on flight mode
03:07for a few hours, but then I put it off again.
03:09I didn't want to miss calls.
03:11But I had lost hope of getting any calls.
03:21I am still getting random messages.
03:23I am still getting random calls
03:25from people that...
03:27Because, of course, out of
03:29the helplessness that everybody is in,
03:31it's a miserable time.
03:33So people are still sharing my number.
03:45I mean, of course, it varies, but it's stopping
03:47a few volunteers. I see them putting up stories
03:49and being like, you know what?
03:51This is the reaction I'm getting.
03:53It's demotivating me.
03:55Let's not try and do this.
03:57I have male volunteers putting up stories
03:59that, you know, it's disheartening
04:01that men are doing this.
04:03So everyone's trying to put it out
04:05as much as they can that,
04:07do not do this.
04:09But when has it stopped anybody?
04:11When has it stopped anybody?
