Our Safety Is our Concern

Hello friends, well i hate to sound like a preachy grandmom, but most of us need a crash course in safety...we always flout rules and think tht we are invincibe, we will never get punished...i think by the time you read this, you must have heard the sad news that a B tech 2nd year student of jamia was crushed to death by a blueline in front of our college/holy family.. it may be the fault of the driver, or the students own fault, but at the end of the day, its his parents tht are suffering the most. I had gone to north delhi, and while coming back it started raining slightly. then it started raining heavily. then very heavily. i was stuck outside the indraprashta metro station in the downpour for 2 hours waiting for an auto, but cudnt get one...finally after having no choice, i started jumpin in front of passing cars...i started waving down cars, bikes, trucks, cows, anything....i almost got run down 4 times-finally one car stopped and told he will take me to jamia for 80 bucks...we finally decided on 90 bucks, but he wud drop me all the way to hostel..

but i cudnt reach the hostel..the whole area was blocked by police vans and ropes..our entire hostels (there are nine of them) were on the road, protesting...i cud see riot poilice readying for a lathi charge on the side.the students, were readying for a jolly good time throwing rocks and stones..somehow i got thru all the security and i reached my room. i was tired, wet, cold and hungry, but hey, im still alive! but wht abt the poor guy lying outside on the road?wht abt his family?it cud hve been one of us, touchwood. i always cross tht jamia u-turn road looking up in the sky..and so do most of the drivers..that equates into a very bad formula....

well all i wanna say is tht BE CAREFUL !!!!!! ur life is precious...dont end it under a pair of 20 yr old rubber wheels...u guys are doing mba, u hve so much to do...u have to become big corporate leaders and change the lives of millions of ppl...so dont rob ur self of all the good times ahead..

i have to go now...i can hear the crowd gettin noisier and theres a big rock waiting for me, with my name on it...
