Gone in Fifteen Minutes!!!

Who would have expected to find their life end up in the next 15 minutes? Would you ever dream of it? I guess the reply would be a straight no, be it anyone.

Every one of us wish to live a longer tenure on this earth and exploit it to the highest pinnacle. So with days rolling on pretty fast, we have become more and more selfish towards the way we take forward our life. Of course, every single soul born out of the womb, mushroom's with imponderable dreams. But as elders what we educate them is to study the chapters of history and geography, which is of no use in the real life scenario, and later force him/her to get a remunerative job. Do you think this will help him tackle real life incidents? It is definitely no. He might be a successful earner/breadwinner for the family, but as a human he has lost his trait. And even if some overcome the family pressure to pursue their choice of dream, there are other unexpected roadblocks over the course that are waiting with its iron fist to knock them off the track.

And so was the case of this poor little girl from Chennai, who just tumbled all her hopes and dreams on this fateful morning. She was just 24, progressing well in her life with such a caring parents’ to support her and a lucrative job to raise her self-esteem. But who would have even thought of the fact that all her dream would be shattered down in just a matter of minutes. 

Yes, it is about the demise of the Infosys woman employee who was hacked to death, broad daylight at the Nungambakkam Train station in Chennai, amidst fellow morning office goers. The city that once boasted off with the tag of “Being the safest city in the country” and something that I had even earlier mentioned proudly in one of my post, has now turned out to be a land of soulless folks. Just after the incident, I was little hesitant thinking if this city would be really safe in the years to come, be it any gender? However i do not deny to the fact that every single day some kind of such incident keeps happening throughout the country. And we hardly show signs of coming up with a stern law, just to put an end to all these shitty incidents.

While the most sad part about the incident was that, not even one human stepped forward to either nab the attacker or to help the wounded girl. It wonders me how come people who saw the brutal incident happening right in front of their eyes just walked off, as the train approached on to the station, leaving the girl all bleeding. Has the sense of humanity been devoid out of every individual?

Just think how badly the girl would have called out for help and how badly it would have pained her, more than the wounds, that no one had stepped forward to her help. All her dreams, her parents’ dreams and wishes just crash landed in a blink of the eye. Even the girl wouldn’t have imagined of encountering with such a horrible death.

Only when such incidents occur, it really makes me wonder what has influenced the people’s brain of this highly civilized, technologically progressing generation? Are we just sent down to Earth to act as a slave minding our own businesses and ignore stuffs coming through the way. I believe all those who were present at the train station during her death had some kind of "Blinders" over their head, making them to just focus on their path straight ahead and prevent looking on either side or the rear. If that is so, then what's the big difference between an animal and a human?

One thing is very clear out of her death. It is that with every advancing day, in order to survive on this damn planet, you got to be your own savior. Because no one will be there to help you out in times of need, ever. So stay safe and if possible have a little compassion to your fellow human being. Because someday, one such incident may occur to your near and dear one's too.

It is not a threat but just a warning!!
