Fitcomb on Air

On 25th Mar 2009 , Jia from radio 92.7 called me up to air me on their channel on the radio. The agenda was - sharing of some tips on Women Protection to her listeners, as the assialants of Saumya Vishwanathan & Jignisha Ghosh had been absconded the previous day - was it the victory or just another facet of cruel, violent urbanisation?? Whatever it is, till such time the judgement & that too a very stern one is released the sound would not make enough resonance, the sound of fight against crime, in the mean time we can not afford to sit back & be could'nt careless about it. Eventually, we have to come to our own rescue unders such situations.

On the radio - I shared an important aspect of Women Protection which is - understanding ranges & zones :
  • Safe Zone - The radius of approximately 2 mtrs all around you from where no one can harm you using his/her arms & legs even if fully exetended towards you.
  • Danger Zone - The radius once breached & the range is reduced becomes a danger zone and you may be attacked, molested. chain-snatched by an assailant.
So wherever you are be careful & sensitive about your safe zone , do not let anyone come nearer than that as a habit (data proves that 80% of all assialnts were known to victims, so you know....).

Till next time - Think , Act & Be Safe

Fair Sex is not Fair

 The euphemism uses this adage to denote women as some one who is petite , lovable , needs to be handled with caress or simply said , a softer version of Gods creation . Though it is absolutely fine to extend respect and courtesy but it is dogmatic to  have this mindset exclusively for women. In the last 11 years I have had a great experience of having come across over more than 50,000 women and girls who I had the pleasure of intervening with in the domain of empowerment and self defence. Believe you me , I found most of them very high both on mental and physical robustness with utter disregard to the heresy that haunts them. Whether it was the posh training hall of a big 4 corporate or an open ground in sweltering heat where scores of rural girls were rearing to learn to be able to stand up in the face of an adversary, the 'josh' was nowhere lacking. Not only the enthusiasm , they have always displayed higher conviction towards learning and bestowed highest level of respect ...

Covid19 and Virtual Learning

"The ones who will stay in the game will be those who survive." Its time that we endure the testing times and sustain to be able to bounce back. Times are tough, though it could have been prevented but... As a matter of the fact ,history has proven that we as human beings never learn from our mistakes and keep reinventing the wheel of destruction. Having said that it is imperative that we 'adapt and survive' , its NOW that we must carry our detailed analysis and introspection of what we do and more importantly how we do. I have come across a lot of so called professionals who have switched from one trade to another, nothing wrong in it . Then there were host of individuals turned entrepreneurs who got into ppe's probably with an intent to survive or if it may not sound rude make some money out of the situation. Expertise or no expertise , some just tried to ride the wave but every wave settles down sooner or later . People realized that dupattas , scarves , hankey...

Corona Diaries

 It was 12th Apr of the year 2020 , Easter Day. I wore my best shirt a white full sleeved cotton and pulled up my new denims pairing them with grey leather boots. All decked up , the lovely meal comprising of 'bhuna mutton' was packed neatly to be carried alongwith to my children's place for lunch. I left home all excited for the festivity but the excitement could not last for long , as soon as I reached the main gate of my society I found it locked with large police gathering on either side of it - Suncity was under lockdown and no one was supposed to step out nor anyone could come in. All my dreams of a family lunch were quashed and I returned back like a fool - Covid had made its first nasty presence! Since then it is almost a year and life has been a rollercoaster with lockdowns, shutdowns , curfews , social distancing and masked movement being an integral part of our lives . Though we are still 'social animals' albeit without any social connect. Politicians who...
