Be Smart, Be Safe


This is a situation of grave intensity. Not only have they killed and burnt alive 195 people and permanently scarred 100s others but also tried to completely destroy the face of our home. And more than their doing, the dirty fact that is staring in our faces today is that the people who we trust to safeguard our lives and property, our children, our businesses and more, simply left the door to our home open for any scum of the earth to enter and deface, destruct and destroy.

Let each one of us promise to take atleast one step to change this, in whatever small way we can. Whether it involves asking ridiculous questions to anyone looking or sounding fishy, waiting in a long queue while they check our bags and vehicles, ensuring safety in and around our place of residence and work and taking other steps in order to be an alert and vigilant citizen.

Remember, you can only lead by example. So don’t wait for someone to tell you what to do. Take the initiative and set examples yourself. Be smart, be safe. We are, unfortunately, living in unsafe times.

Hi Daljeet,

Was touched by your comments on AB's blog.

I'm glad to see you've started again. Hope to visit you again.

Daldarl, nice post. I couldn't agree with you more. Instead of waiting for "change" to happen, each of us should take initiatives and contribute, in little ways that we can, to that change.

It is not enough to just react. Now is the time to act, to do something, to bring in the winds of change.
