Caution : Pay Attention

Image
By

Recently the incident at Indore, shocked the wits off me.

Its said that there are warning signs asking people not to go down to the waterfall, but that definitely goes unnoticed and out of sheer curosity we tend to do what we are instructed not to. Alas, its not always that we are lucky and forbidden from being victim of an unexpected incident.

This incident proves that there are days when things just don't go the normal way.

Its sad...really sad....We can't blame the nature for what happened, but definitely our negligence and lack of presence of security measures which resulted in loss of 3 lives. This could have been prevented : if at first, they (victims) realized that going against the warnings (of not going near the waterfall)could cost their lives, If, there were security personnels who could have stopped them from going against the warnings stated and If at the end, there were adequate security measures to save them from beight caught in nature's hand.

Flash floods are unexpected and untimely reaction by nature. However, lack of awareness, vigilance, security measures supports the motive of a suddena act like that.

If we can control something to prevent such incidents from happening, it can only be by paying 'ATTENTION TO EVERY SINGLE DETAIL' .

A moment of enjoyment takes seconds to shatter.

So stay awake and be aware !!!

    As always, it was Man again who had a major stake or was behind this tragic happening. Open flood gates of Nakheri dam canal system & large scale leakage caused sudden surge of water at the falls, sweeping away the victims.

A visit to India Gate

By
Out of Sight ....but not....Out of Mind...!! Wanted to write a blog only once I saw myself changing....and have I?...Yes,I have changed to some extent and will keep on changing until apocalypse :p :p (it was meant on a lighter note, people...dunno whether the world ends in 2012, and don't even want to specualte) With this post, I want to bring into light the common man's perception about the heritage of India. Let's just focus on 'one of the many' such places - THE INDIA GATE - a landmark that commemorates the live's lost fighting the British Empire , along with the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' which pays homage to the ones lost in the 1971 Ino-Pak war. However on a recent visit, it appeared that it was more of a 'fun spot' and less of a 'rememberance spot'. The purpose for anyone's visit there, especially the residents of Delhi, is to eat (throw here and there) , play in the pond (having bath in the water and how can we forget ...throw...

No Spit Day

By
The most observable day to day activity of the residents of our land is ' Spitting ' . Just make an effort to see people around you......from the one walking in front of you to the one sitting in car with family or the one sitting beside you...............there comes a moment when they turn their head and leave the proof of their action along with the unpleasant sound of ' Aaaaaathoooo '. The common habit of chewing pan, tobacco or just spitting for fun / pleasure/ sore throat ( god knows what reason is it ) makes people spit not only on roads, but also on public property (visit any monument to witness the remnants of this act ) , and sometimes they don't even mind spitting on people ( applicable to the ones travelling by bus, car etc., who see nowhere and directly put their head out of the window..... and....spit...yes.....along with the unpleasant sound of 'Aaaaaaathooooo' ) . The roads/ lifts/ staircases ( common places where we find the area of spit high...

Network(ing) & PR(adia)

By
This might be a stale topic to write on considering the life expectancy of a scam in India depends solely on Indian news channels blasting our TV screens for that day/evening. Nevertheless I had to pen my views... The tapes show/expose the thirst for power and information in this rat-eat-man-race (rats' appetite has burgeoned over the years) with ulterior motives. We all knew politics as a dirty game played by saathvi aur paanchvi kaksha pheil goondas or even worse angutha chaaps . But even the fairly educated ones who we thought can be entrusted with the job of development want the kursi to simply satisfy their ego or personal ambitions. One-upmanship or at least attempting to show one’s superiority by its lobbying for a post in the Union cabinet shows these MPs will go to any extent to become a power centre (we know that they are masters rigging polls anyways). Ministries & portfolios were being selected just like ticking an option from a multiple choice question wi...
