NP Rank:
A Million Vigilant Eyes better than a handful of Anti-Terrorist Squad
Did you notice a new tenant in your society? Ever bothered to know what he/she does?
A parked car in the lane since last fortnight. Still don't have time to inform the police?
Registered your servant's details at the local police station?
Is anything lying beneath the heaps of debris outside your society? Don't have time to get it cleared?
Our time is precious and we cannot afford to waste it for such silly matters. Well, rethink on that. Are they silly indeed? Let's not give ourselves another chance to regret for overlooking these essential aspects in our surroundings.
I have tried to list down a few things to keep a check.
1. Before selling/renting out your house/vehicle make a background check of the buyer.
2. Keep a record of your servant's background.
3. Keep an eye over fellow passengers. If a passenger forgets his luggage, inform immediately.
4. Keep record on every person entering and leaving your society.
5. Make a background check for the watchmen in your society.
6. While taking a stroll, look around for abandoned packages, letters, bags.
7. Abandoned vehicles. Do not leave your car unlocked. Close the doors and windows properly.
8. Keep a list of emergency numbers with you all the time.
9. Keep a card with your name, profession, home and office address with you all the time.
10. Clear the piles of dirt and waste in your surroundings.
11. Keep a check of your building/house surroundings. Places like the corridor, space behind the staircase, garden, etc.
12. Keep a check on drug addicts, beggars, wanderers, vendors in your area.
13. Pass on this vigilance bug to your neighbor.
14. Keep adding things that come in your mind to this list.
15. Wish you Safe living!

This is nice, alert and fearful,where ever you go, What ver you do, loss your sence of faith and be always in doubt, suspision.
This state of mind is so fragile that slight provocation of any kind will kill hundreds, as we have seen in stampedes in our temples.

If it was only so easy. Nice ideas, yet money and profits may interfere here as well as likes and dislikes among people.
Nice post and nice thoughts though.

Thanks everyone. Though difficult, we can try to get these thoughts embedded on our mind by going through them regularly. One day action will follow.
take a printout - stick on the wall - go through the list everyday.

Thank you for the link, reshmi. I wonder how many of us think about the children orphaned by such calamity -- very unfortunate.
at 01:28 on December 12th, 2008
Yes Rhonda. Most of the stories only spoke of the elite who died. But there are many families left orphaned, poor parents who lost their children, and many a common man terribly devastated, mentally, physically and financially. May God give them strength and hope.
