Reports on Accidents happen often in our daily newspaper. When we read it, all that we feel is "Oh! That's sad!". Some of us get deeper and write a reply by suggesting solutions and measures to prevent future accidents of same manner. Appreciated!
However, the real pain can be explained only by the victim and the family of the victim. They also experience the brunt of any consequence of the accident, as well as the reactions of the authorities.
The recent Boat tragedy in Alappuzha River, that killed four people, was a sickening incident. The immeasurable pain that the family members of the victim would have undergone and still do, is mind-troubling. All those who died, had the right to live. However, death has its own time of visit. It is the only uninvited and disliked visitor that will definitely visit everyone suddenly in our life, that too Just Once. May the soul of those who died rest in peace.
Life is bestowed in us still. Not that we are better off than those who died. Its just that, God has given us one more chance to live well. Let's all take on oath to live a life that will be safe for us as well as others around us. Had the Boatmen and all those in-charge on that fateful "moment" been more careful and responsible by burrying all the wishes of getting people on boat in a "hurry", then those four precious lives might have been saved.
This boat tragedy does not make the entire boating stream dangerous. Nor will it halt the entire boating business. The business will move on. People will continue to see "fun" in this business. However, let us just learn to get alert! Even when there is a boatman who has to take care of the entire procedure of getting into the boat and getting off it, If every tourist and passenger of the boat is alert and serious enough, then lot of accidents can be prevented. Even if the boatman asks you to jump into the boat when there is already someone standing in the path, its easy to say a "no! Let him go first!" When the boatman asks everyone to get in and you see that the boat is getting full only in one side and you feel the risk of the boat getting tilted, then it is more simple to say "Let us all wait till the people already inside the boat settle down in a balanced way" and thus contribute towards arranging the boating experience in a safe and fun way.
Just remember that there is no point in being the "first" to get into the boat. You have decided that "i will go boating today". So, anyways you will go boating today. Why hurry? Just wait patiently to experience a safe and enjoyable boating experience. :)
Let us do "our" part in avoiding accidents...
Lets become responsible at least when other's lives are at stake. Let's get sincere and serious when other's lives are bestowed in ours...
Live and let live!
