Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India



Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public
What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption.
I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a women during tough times. She will definitely call for help to all the Gods of the world. Unfortunately Miracles don’t happen always. Self help groups and NGO are always trying to help women. But people are not always successful. Calling police or a friend might be the last thing in a person’s mind when she runs for her life. The meek person is always the one to be harassed. People think twice and maybe even more, to attack a strong and brave woman.
Imagine she has a smart watch or a smart ring. She touches it when she is in trouble. The nearest police and self help group gets an alert. Her location is tracked through GPS. The help reaches her within minutes. This may not be as simple as it sounds. But this is surely help in decreasing the crime rate. Rape or Harassment can occur due to anyone’s fault. Ultimately, the person who gets affected is the victim and family. In India, most crimes are not reported in the name of honor and society. The victim is doomed to serve her life in solitude and guilt.
A crime stopped is a life saved. Sometimes more than one life is saved. The victim and the attacker and their families and the list go on. Most of all, Our Nation will become the safest place in the world.
The safer nation project is not easy to start and execute. It involves a lot of patience and whole lot of effort. We would require a technology support from companies like Intel, Affordable equipment and support and most important of all we would require support from the public. It surely has its pros and cons. Still it is a great step towards a safer healthier nation and our #DigitalIndia Dream. And this is not possible without the help of technology and Government.

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
