Just a thought

Well, it’s just a thought based upon the event which, as we speak, has happened to Jaipur. .The fire at the IOC Depot. Just for the fans of yours truly, here are some fun facts. The place Sitapura which is seeing the fire, is the place I have spent 4 years of mine. My college is hardly 3 Km away from the Depot. There are in fact about 25 educational institutes including 16-17 Engineering colleges. To make matter worse, there are 2 more depot. One of them carrying LPG. But they are at a safe distance. No more worries.

I swear by solved University exam papers book that every bloody engineer who is or has been out there wished that this would happened to my/their college instead of the depot. I hope the same but I hope no human should be there when that day comes. Anyways, there was a certain report in the newspaper yesterday. It went like this:

“The garden was within the 3 Km range of the IOC Oil Depot. The baraat had just entered the premises. The groom with all his laare lashkaares was moving forward to have his seat, right there at the podium. Suddenly a bright flashy orange light appeared which turned the dark sky almost into a day. Within milliseconds they heard deafening sound of a blast. Without seeing any aav-taav, everybody ran! People had realized that it was something big. Although, they were quite far away and were all safe, still, everyone loved their respective lives. The groom who was about to swear to be with the bride for continuous 7 births without fail ran for his own life. He just ran, and did not care about anything, forgetting his yet to be wife.“

Even if you have missed the last lines rhyme, the moral of the story is as simple as understanding Raj Thakrey's strategy: When you are in trouble what you will do? Watchya gonna do brother? Watchya gonna do?

We all boast about how much we love our close ones. We can do anything for the people we love. Really? Do we? Bhagwan na kare, if one has fallen into some big time life threatening trouble along with some loved ones, I am sure sometimes think that people go to save their own lives first. So idiotic to believe that but you tend to lose confidence in the world as you grow up. Without being controversial, I would go on to say that even people in army will do that. What I mean is this, suppose you are a hot blooded jawan ready to do anything for the motherland, anything for the country, take 100 lives or give yourselves away. If by chance, a situation arises when you have choices to make to either save yourself or save an unknown civilian person which you hardly know. Will you save him/her? Obviously you should and you will give your 100% to bring back the needy one out of threat. But will you give your life away for him? Out of a million one may be patriotic enough to give his life for the motherland. I don’t think many people do that. Personally I believe that giving life away to do something is the most stupidest thing human life form can think of. That explanation will be given in some other post some other day, if we live BTW.

Everybody comes across traffic accidents. If you haven’t come across, I wish you stay safe and you never come across any accident forever. However, how many of us will stop and take the victim to the hospital. How many of you will help an old lady to cross the road. People make big comments about their friendships and what not? How many keep their word? To about 95% of the human race, their own life comes first. Then comes the very closed one's and then comes the worry about the money, honey!

I wish I am wrong. People still do help others.
