Road Safety : Your life can change from a silly mistake.

The events are from my real life experience this week. It affected me so much that I'm writing about it.

My aim is to spread awareness among people about some safety measures or you can call it being attentive and being aware of your surroundings at all times.

I was boarding a bus from Delhi to Gurgaon, as you all know the low floor buses in India, I sat at very rear near window. I bought my ticket, plugged in my headphones suddenly the bus stopped and people started shouting, I looked out of the window there was a man under the bus, his legs were trapped in the rear wheels, low floor has two rear at each end. The driver hit reverse so that the guy can be retrieved I saw the man pulled his leg out and was shocked to see one feet was severely crushed and damaged. I've never seen anything like that. Luckily a PCR vehicle was nearby and cops too. They immediately took him to the hospital in that vehicle. 
Now that person didn't know that this is how his day is going to end up, he would have never imagined that he would lose his foot, the point is, a simple mistake to catch a running bus resulted in having to live a life without his foot.

I saw the ugly face of machines vs man, we created machines but we've to be careful around them. A machine won't know if you're hurt. A bus is a big transportation vehicle and driver does not have eyes in every corner, it's up to us to be careful around it. Whether you're on foot or bike or car, just don't fool around a bus or truck. 

Take care

Plan your New Year, don't just resolve.

Its 27th December 2015, few more days and we will be in 2016.
I see people make many resolutions and end up breaking them all.
I strongly believe that if you can't keep up a resolution on a normal day, there's no guarantee that you will follow it if its a new year resolution.

Instead saying meaningless stuff, go big, make bigger plans, and make a realistic timeline to achieve all those goals. Its a much better exercise to do rather than changing status to your resolution which you will eventually break. The way I see, birthdays and new years are reminders that you are growing old each time you celebrate such occasion. You should be making the most of it every time you celebrate.
With that said I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year.
God bless you all.
I hope you grow into the right direction and achieve more success.

Love defined... Part 3 : Letting Go

This is the third series of my post Love Defined.
I am not an expert in love but I have had some good and bad experience in love. That makes me good enough to write about it. At least I know how it feels. This post is about in case you can't hold the relationship any longer and someone has to go.

There will be a time when things will go out of control, there could be any reason for this, a third person, family, distance etc. There will be a time in which there can be damage control but there will also be a time where you can do nothing about it. And its really hard to let go. One has to reevaluate his/her complete life, hold the shit together and start from scratch. It changes people. Now we all know that we should not think about past, but when a relationship ends it takes a part of you with it and in that case its very hard to get over it. I suggest in that time you should stop listening to sad songs and get busy in living. Get back with your friends and have fun. It won't help that much but it sure will reduce your alone time. Try to understand that this was meant to be, you were born (also) to be a part of this incomplete love story but that also suggests that this is not the end, there is a lot more. Things you can't see, the future, the bright shining future of yours. Its up to you whether you want to restart or just go to sleep mode.

There will be someone who will hug you so tight that all your broken pieces will fit together and you will forget about all the past. You will feel it, you will start dreaming again. Dreaming is very important, it keeps you alive, never stop dreaming.

Aamir's Intolerance Story Explained

Now I didn't research a lot on this neither do I've time for this. But here are my views.

First of all India is a very big country. We've all types of religions. Why do you care so much what an actor said ? The whole nation is going mad for this. All the keyboard warriors that even an eleven year old can beat are writing post after post and tweet after tweet. Did you even see the interview of Amir Khan I bet no. Where's the logic ? If he wanted to leave the country he would have done it long time ago. And even if he leaves, why the f*** do you care ? Is he your best friend? Anupam uncle ji who's nowhere near such matters when big politicians are involved is boasting like a lion over Amir khan. Rishi uncle who doesn't even speak ever, why he's barking on this issue ? I'll tell you why, Amir's issue is a SAFE issue. Amir is just an actor, and a muslim, and ruling party is BJP. So it's okay to speak now, right ? These Uncle's who should be doing charity work but instead are finding ways to enter into the political party by making themselves heard over a harmless topic. I bet they don't know what it's like to walk on a road in Delhi or Mumbai past 10pm.
Baat karte h saale.

And the media left no stone unturned to make money out if it. And people with their smartphone began posting their judgment as if they have the right to declare Amir guilty.
Imagine all these discussion, protest, resources, media coverage if used in an actual problem would have been really beneficial for this country. But no, everyone wakes up, oh what do I do today? It's a boring day, no spicy news, oh Amir said this ? How dare he? *opens his tweeter* I'll show that %$&*%$%*$$#@$%#@$.

That's it ? Is that you want ?

Resolve an issue like a grown man. For that you need to become a man. And real Men knows any statement made by a single person cannot affect the prestige of a country if rest of us prove it wrong by making it right if you know what I mean.

Grow Up my Indian nationals.
Think beyond these Religious issues.
Humanity is the biggest religion of all.

The Decade of your life.

I was born on 25th of November 1991 that makes me 24 years old now.

It's time to reevaluate one's life. I believe and follow a philosophy that the age between 20 to 30 is the most productive and decision making decade of your lifetime. These 10 years either make you or break you. One should know how to utilize this time and make the most of it. Think practically, during these years, you're most energetic, passionate, fresh, powerful. You can use all these powers to make your life more comfortable and reach the state of success. After 30 you'll have your family to worry about, your kids, your ageing parents. You won't be able to focus in one direction. After 30 you can't physically or mentally give enough to your career/business so by then you should make your life comfortable enough to take care of those losses you'll have to deal with.

Then again if you don't want any of the stuff mentioned above and want to live your life like many teenagers, then go travel the world, have fun, party and hangout with friends. Whatever you do, remember, you won't get these 10 years back. So spend wisely.

I've completed 4 years of this decade. And so far I'm in a pretty good position in my career. I've 6 more years but I'll do it in less than that.

Stay focused, work hard, earn respect.
Respect is far more valuable than money.

Follow Traffic Rules.

I never thought I would be writing a blog on this, but everyday I see a lot of people not doing it, so I am trying at least if I can make one person to follow traffic rules via this post, I would be more than happy.
I work at a location not far from home, I drive for 15-20 minutes (depending upon traffic). I use the National Highway no. 8 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway) most of you would know about it, in fact there's a movie NH10 based on this highway. It is very spectacular and one of the most successful highways of India.
The problem is manly people ignoring small things that lead to drastic results, Many times it happens that people change lanes without any indicator, the break zone is not enough, people driving cars with only one headlight (this is extremely dangerous), they don't know the difference and use of high beam and low beam, hazard lights are used for fun and much more.

The other day I saw a guy threw a Coke can on the main road, it's a tin can it can damage the tire and tire could burst, it can disturb the balance of a two-wheeler, imagine a speeding vehicle tripping over a small can. But that guy just finished his coke and felt this urge to get rid of the can that too on the main road. Dear bastard, God bless you and put some sense in you.
India is known for lack of civic sense in people, but they need to realize that this mistakes costs many lives everyday. By obeying traffic rules they don't only save their life but others life too. It's all about being a good citizen, and for this you need to be good human, being a good human is an art. Just do this simple thing which you can and it doesn't cost any money. Drive sensibly make yourself deserving of the road.

Earthquake of 26th Oct 2015 : My experience

First of all I'd like to thank God that I'm alive and in sound condition. But I experienced a near to death situation today. The fear, adrenaline rush I had it all today.

Below are the real events happened with me today on 26th October 2015.

We were all sitting in the office doing our work. My office is in cyber city, Gurgaon, 5th floor   (technically 9th because 0,-1,-2,-3) in infinity towers. I was talking to a colleague and I felt my head spinning it took me a moment to realize it was the building swinging like a pendulum. We all stood up, I took my wallet and phone from my desk and walked towards the fire escape. The boards hanging on the wall were in motion. In the staircase there were people from 9th to ground floor. All moving at normal speed. During our long journey from 5th to ground floor, we could feel the building spinning maybe it was the aftershocks. That constant fear of everything could break, magnitude could increase, we all could die thoughts like this were making many of us nervous. Finally we reached ground floor and out of the building. It was experience of a lifetime. To feel you could die any moment makes you feel alive.

The epicentre was Afghanistan and Pakistan, magnitude was 7.5
More than 250 people died in these countries. May god bless them all and they rest in peace.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
