After Mumbai Terror Attacks!

After Mumbai Attacks, everybody is sceptical about the security at public places. People are questioning the government and security agencies. This happened after a very long time that people stood up for something. Otherwise there was always a “Chalta hai” attitude shown by us. Life used to become normal and everybody returns to their daily bread butter fight.

This mass hysteria against terrorism is also high because of elite places were the target. If it had happened with common man or in some slums, reactions may not be that strong. But this time all eminent people, business groups and organisations stood together to question the government.

But I think being a common man, we should be more empathetic towards our surroundings. We should start taking interest in our neighbours. To take notice of what’s happening around us leaving the “Saanu ki” attitude behind if we really want to fight terrorism.

 We should equip our self to fight against terror. Schools should make the NCC training compulsory to all the students.

 There should be free self defence training classes for students ,youngsters and other interested people.

 In our societies/localities and surrounding areas, we should take notice of each and every change.

 We should follow the Rules/Procedures/Law defined for our safety like Tenant /Employee verification.

 Govt. should build and support “disaster management” groups and provide free training to the people.

 Public should itself start taking interest and join these groups to equip themselves to handle these kinds of situations.

These were the few precautionary steps came into my mind , please contribute your ideas and thoughts to safeguard ourselves .

My top 15 K-dramas list

It has been more than a year since I got hooked on Korean dramas. I like the happy ending (mostly) and stories are finished in 16-20 episode...
