Florida Shootout

Greetings of the day! Here is an important piece of information straight form the front page of all major national & international dailies including various news channels :

What Happened ?
A shootout in Florida (US) on 12th Jun 2016. About 50 innocent lives were lost & equal number were seriously injured.

Who did it & why ?
A 29 year old youth who allegedly had ‘homophobia’ sprayed bullets on a Gay Club killing people in cold blood. He pledged allegiance to IS too.

Why did it happen ? This may not happen here, so why bother?
People have already started arguing that this happens in US only, because the country has free gun culture & this is unlikely to happen in India. But google & related data suggests that in India only 20% people in possession of weapons hold valid arms license, rest 80% are in possession of illicit (not country made katas anymore) weapons. TOI dated 11th Jun 2016 brought to light a big number of laser sight (for precision shooting) weapons being smuggled into India.

So what should I do?
Prepare yourself for the ‘unexpected’ because you may not get another chance. If it can happen in a ‘high security country’ like the US then here in India….its anybody’s guess. Learn about weapons (may be not to use them but being able to identify them, understand their limitations & effectiveness) & reduce potential or ‘could be’ damage and save your life & those of others.

Tips & Suggestions to stay safe ?
1.       Avoid crowded places as much as possible.
2.       Stay alert NOT paranoid (doesn’t need anything more than being attentive to people& sound around you (these are the early warnings)
3.       Go on ground the moment you hear a blast of gun shots (which sound like crackers), cover your ears & head, cross your legs.
4.       Crawl out to safety, DO NOT RUN as it offers a bigger target or exposure area & attracts attention,
5.       Learn basic First Aid

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...

Survival is Prime

'Safety Needs' to be addressed before you reach 'Self Actualization' Survival has been the oldest forte of human being. Since the evolution of mankind we have primarily been working around 'Survival' , fending off threats from wild animals , humans and natural catastrophe. History has enough evidence to prove that the first invention was 'Fire' which was primarily done to survive against wild animals , to keep warm and later to cook. Invention of tools and weapons evolved alongside where we used sticks , stones , bones & other hard objects to make equipment which could cut , hammer and much more. Well we are not dwelling upon the inventions which human beings made since their inception but that the basic skill set which has helped us stay safe and secure is 'survival'. The paradigm of 'Survival' has always been of prime significance. From stone and fire we have evolved to nukes and drones, our genre of being a food gath...

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 ...
