Smart Suraksha - We Are Safe Now!

We group of five friends decided to take a day out of our mundane routines of managing our homes and families last week. Yeah, they are our duty but we do deserve few hours of relaxation. So we went to our nearby Woodland Park for a stroll in the evening.

         We got so  engrossed in our nitty-gritties that we didn't notice that it was getting dark and almost everybody in the park left for their homes.

          Suddenly I noticed that a group of drunk men was approaching us. They were in an inebriated  state. We all got panicky. They encircled us and tried to snatch our chains. We looked into each other's eyes and gathered courage to push them hard and run. But they were still following us.


         Oh how I wished I had Smart Suraksha with me! It is such a helpful Android app with its GPS enabled even if one does not switch it on, sending an alert to five trusted contacts as well as the police. It is just like an SOS in time of need, with all of these features which I read about just day before yesterday!

But nothing could be done as of then, except that we tried to run fast towards the gate. Fortunately, from a distance we saw a police van standing near the gate. We shouted loudly and that scared those men. They retreated and ran away. 

         We were safe for the day but the moment we reached our respective homes, we all downloaded the app then and there so that we need not feel helpless in future in case of any mishap.

Smart Suraksha - A Necessary Skill...

Rekha is a smart young girl. At such a young age she has achieved a lot. She handles her office assignments with such precision that everyone is in awe of her aura. She manages her home, her siblings & her widowed mother too along with her professional commitments.

         She normally commutes to her office by car but that fateful day on her way back home, her car broke down 15 minutes away from home. It was already very late but not still 11:30, so she thought of seeking refuge of the Metro. She would have to commute across 5 stations - approximately 10 minutes. She started moving towards the station hurriedly as it was already late as night had set in. By the time she reached her station it was 11:30 P.M.


Walking across was the only option then! Barely into 100 meters of displacement, she could sense someone following her. She panicked and her heart beat increased. For a second she went blank, but gradually she relaxed as she swiped a screen and two of her first cousins got the message that she needed them then and there. She didn't even need to tell them about the location - all this thanks to the new GPS enabled app that she downloaded from the Google Play Store two days back - Smart Suraksha - The Smarter Way Of Survival For The Fairer Sex. Within minutes they were by her side as they resided near her house. They reached home safely. In the meantime her uncle, her sister and her friend also called her up, as they also got an alert SMS through the app. Rekha told all three of them that she was OK and had just reached home! What's more - Police were also alerted and those sick mentalities put behind bars for the night! What a sigh of relief - they all heaved! 


         After having this first - hand experience, she told everyone at office and at home too about the utility of this app and spread the word around also about how she had a narrow escape from the evil eyes of eve-teasers! - How she did not have to utter words of regret in future - How she did not have to express remorse and exclaim - "I wish I had Smart Suraksha with me!" - as it had already proved its worth by serving its purpose effectively in times of dire need!

Dear God - Please Pay Heed...


Is There Any Morning To This Dark Pitched Night?
Light Is Nowhere In Sight...
This 'Jungle Raaj' Is Spreading...
Does It Not Have Any Ending?

Is It Not The Height?
 No One To Lend An Ear - Not Even Slight...
With All This Injustice Trending...
Steadily On The Path Of Humanity, Are We Descending?

Where Oh! Where Is Our Conscience's Knight?
To Balance Out The Wrong With The Right...
The Justice In Life's Court Is Long Impending...
 Will It Not Take Long - For The Scenario's Mending?

 Who Snatched The Freedom - Abridged The Wings - Ceased The Flight?
To Overlook Our Motherland's ...
Nobody Is, To Her Wounds, Tending...
Is It Not A Spiral, Towards Infinity, Tending?

PADE --- Night --- Day 31

The Sunset Heralds The Onset Of Night...
The Sky And The Sea Both Don The Sun's Magnificent Colors In Its Honor...
Which I captured at Goa's Candolim Beach in 2005.

No Night Can Be More Enchanting Than The Full Moon Night...


...Even More Resplendent With Its Four Twined Aura...
 ...And A Tiny After Image At The Bottom...


I was lucky to capture The Full Moon Night by the Havelock Island Too...
...Sea Water Gloriously Reflecting The Moon's Being...


...As The Night approached...
...The Moon's Divinity Engulfed The Darkness...



...And We Tried To Catch It In Our Hands...
...And Capture It In Our Lens Too...

Apart from Nature's Majestic Night Marvels...
...We also celebrate Night by dispelling the darkness...
