22 YEARS OLD STABBED TO DEATH

I hung my head down in shame & despair when I read the newspaper this morning which read, ‘22 year old stabbed to death’ .

Another broad day light crime… this time Pinki a 22 year old woman was stabbed to death by a jilted lover who stabbed her repeatedly on the MG Road Metro Station in full public view just because she said ‘NO’ to his advances. The ruthless assailant was taken down by a breaveheart passerby who hit him with a ‘table fan’ which he was carrying , seeing this others gathered courage & overpowered the accused. But an innocent life had been lost by then.



Here are a few pointers which you may like to note & share with others just in case you got into a situation like that, ‘probably’ you would be able to save yourself or save a life :



1.       Past : Always be careful of old enemies, jilted lovers etc. , they could lie dormant for years & then suddenly wake up to a vendetta.

2.       Distraction : An attacker will distract you to close in, for instance he may ask you ‘what is the time’ / ‘Is this your money’ / ‘Can you please help me with this address’ & much more.

3.       Distance : Always maintain a safe distance when you talk to a stranger. A safe distance is a distance which cannot be closed in by a stranger without taking a step which will give you time to step back or disconnect . Simply put – he should not be able to touch you without moving in.

4.       Hands : Always keep your eyes on the hands of the stranger specially so when he is digging deep into his pockets or hiding them behind his back. He may be reaching out for a weapon like knife, gun , acid, mirchi powder etc. to harm you.

5.       Burst : While you try to block the attacking hand, hit him in the face full throttle with the other hand simultaneously, it should be one movement or he will be able to intercept you.



It is horrendous to see precious lives to be lost to such psychopaths, learn to stay safe & save others ! Remember – BETWEEN YOU & YOUR ASSAILANT THERE IS ONLY YOUR WILL & SKILL TO SURVIVE, everyone else will follow !

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...
