Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half | | VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY AFTER THE HP BPO INCIDENT IN BANGALORE:
With the incidents happening around us and the crime that is been reported we can SAFELY say that each day is getting worse in chennai. Under this situation we will always have a question in our conscious mind which asks us AM I SAFE ? No one can give you an accurate answer to this .... crime is like an accident which we can meet up with at anytime.The best way not to meet with it is to follow the doctors proverb "PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN CURE" . Crime happens
only if there is opportunity given to it or when there is chance for it.
A few tips that can definitely help everyone,
1) Avoid speaking to people whom you don't know (auto rickshaw driver,
taxi drivers ....)
2) Avoid late night parties.
3) Do not mix drinking with your wonderful ability to drive.
4) Avoid taking ladies to the late night parties, if you cannot avoid then try going in groups.
7) Avoid taking short cuts when going out in the nights.
8) Avoid restaurant/dhabas in the outskirts of the city as these are places where anti social elements usually hang out.
9) Report incidents to the police if you feel it is the correct information that you are providing to them.
10) Make sure you inform any one before you visit them late at night and also specify time frames.
10) Couples in love please please avoid meeting up in lonely places.
11) Avoid arguing with auto rickshaw drivers and also when you find people who are fighting on roads(it could be a trap)
12) Avoid having personal and friendly conversation with taxi drivers,auto rickshaw drivers , Cab drivers (Specially women)
13) If the driver behaves suspiciously/ rudely try to divert the vehicle to some public place and then immediately get off. Inform the transport department and your manager.
14) Women make sure that you are carrying something to protect yourselves such as a bottle of pepper spray and also make sure that you are wearing a jacket or a shawl if you are not escorted by a man whom you know.
I am attaching the list of phone numbers of police stations ( including Women Helpline Units - chennai) and press nos for emergency purposes of your respective areas in Chennai. Please keep them handy so that it will be of some use to you some day... As the famous Theory of Charles Darwin goes " Survival of the fittest" . When there is no mercy from the assailant why then should be the same from you.

Raghav MK | | Exhaustive info from Gokul - another useful tip to add is to store an emergency number in our cell phones that can be called when required. This is infact not just for womenfolk but for all of us as well..

Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half | | as per my friend in an other network, wud like to also add:
1. don't open the main door of the house immediately, especially when there is no response from the visitor
2. keep a club/bat/rod/stick at home, for safety reasons
3. carry a small dagger/knife/pen-knife with you ALL the time (24/7).
4. if possible, join karate/kungfu/self defense classes, (only if ur busy schedule permits you). its nice to be physically strong to give the opposition a good fight.
moreover, use ur common sense, be brave, NEVER panic, have faith in the Almighty!
the above might sound petty but you never know how important they can prove to be in peril!

Roopa ....( my dil goes mmmmm..mm..mmm) | | yeah Raghav thats right and it has to be stored under the head emergency I think.. that is supposed to help the rescuer to contact the right person!! got this in a mail once.

SOEB FATEHI | | Good to see you back Gokul. You are a treat to have around.
Thanks for all this information.
LK(g) will suggest (if i don't do it first) that everyone should carry a single number - Gokul's number - once you inform him he will inform all the numbers he has listed!
we can call Gokul the "friendly neighborhood numberman" . . . . .Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI | | Dec 21, 2005 9:20 am | | re: IMPORTANT FOR OUR SAFETY | # |
Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half | | I wish I could do atleast that SOEBji.
With all the initial shoutings and planning, nothing kicked off in WCFC. I am responsible for that too.
Now moved out of chennai, my heart cries for its well being .. Whats the use!
I hope and wish someone takes the leadership and carries the torch.
I planned to hold hands with Harish and contribute something but with our personal commitments we could'nt.
Iam not sure where Harish is?? Wake up man!!

Prasad | | Here is another tip about numbers in cell phones:
Dont, repeat dont, store your residence no. using words such as as 'home' or 'residence'. Similarly dont store spouse's name as 'wife' / 'husband'/ etc. and so on....
Use the name of the person / locality of yr residence etc.
I understand recently a lady lost her mobile, someone found it, browsed and saw a no. listed as 'husband', sent an sms asking for no. to operate ATM and got it when the husband sent a text reply. No prozes for guessing the rest.

SOEB FATEHI | | No Prasad -
instead educate the spouse, children and siblings in how to communicate and maybe set a code or a identification procedure internal to tha circle.
i say do save the residence and other kith n kin numbers with obvious words like WIFE, BROTHER, MOTHER, etc. in the event of a medical emergency, or an accident, your helpful samaritan can contact your family.
for every story of a stupid spouse you can circulate i can lay out ten of rescue or help by kind souls who found an identity card in the pocket or a cell phone with numbers!
now lets get back to the subject of what we can together do for Chennai!Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI | | Dec 21, 2005 5:46 pm | | re: IMPORTANT FOR OUR SAFETY | # |
