Parallel Universe

A different world, a different universe. It’s a land of colors.I sat in a white cloud high up in the light blue sky. I was sitting on a cloud. The cloud was moving slowly and I was immersed in admiring the color of sky. The cloud stopped in front of a white dome shaped castle and I got down. I looked around. Tiny little blue birds, size of my thumb were flying around with a sweet humming sound. Bright little glittery balls were bouncing up and down all over. I smiled and walked ahead.

 After walking many steps I stood in front of a big door. The door had its own magnificent design. I went close and was immersed in observing the artistic design. I saw “HAPPINESS” was only word written on a big door. The door was completely white similar to the color of milk. I stood infront of the door with my mouth wide open. The door opened automatically. I saw left and right. I could see no one. I just ran inside very quickly. To my surprise there was no one inside. It was a total calm place with literally nothing. I ran back to the door again but it was closed. I tried hard to open the door but it went in vain. I sat down disappointed. After few minutes I got up and tried opening the door again but it dint help. I then turned back started walking ahead. The place was very silent and calm. If a needle was dropped down I bet I could have heard the sound.

             After walking for more than half an hour I saw another big door. This time the door was already open. The door was highly classic design and was brown in color, I went in. On both the sides stood line of strange people. They were dressed up like they were from an ancient ancestor’s age. A small crown on each person’s head, a heavy metal covered their body and everyone had a round shaped antique piece held in their hand. As I entered, these people on both ends bowed down their head at once. I was surprised and continued walking.

              I reached the third door. I have never seen a door as beautiful as this in my life. It had all the colors I had seen so far in my life. It was just amazing. It had no design but only colors. I tried opening the door but it dint work. I pushed it hard, the door dint open. I put all my strength and pushed the door with great and full force this time and the door opened at once. I went inside. I could hear light music, see beautiful butterflies, bright shining stars falling down all over and melting on the ground. I saw the balloons of heart shape in Red color around me in the air. I was happy and I felt good. I caught the shining stars in my hand and it melted in my hand. My hands felt the cold tickling feeling.

               Suddenly I heard a voice, a voice that was powerful and commanding. A voice that was firm and a voice that one wanted to listen over and over again. The voice whispered “You have crossed three doors of Life that everyone always wants. First door which was complete white and the place where you saw nothing was place of PEACE. The second door where people bent down when you entered was place of RESPECT. And the final door where you felt very happy and extremely good was place of LOVE. The ultimate powerful emotion in every human’s life and the emotion from which no human can escape from. Your LIFE is now complete! “The voice stopped and I stood there blank.

               Immediately a strong breeze passed by and I couldn’t stand in the same place.I was blown away with the wind. “Thud” I fell down. I opened my eyes and I was in the same crazy daily world, I had fallen down on the ground from my bed. I searched for my phone and saw the time. I was late to my office. I smiled at the thought that i named as "Parallel Universe" and there I went ahead for my usual routine.

               

Act smart,each second does count !

INCIDENT TIME  : 11.30 pm

Like everyday even today,I happened to board my late night cab(provided by the Company,with security guard)But all days are never the same,u never know when things go wrong ! That day  turned out to be different!!

After two ladies drop,the next drop was a lady.She got down and tried calling someone from her cell[This went on  for 10 mins]….Our cab dint move,as we were waiting for her to get in …Later we all realized that her hostel gate was locked and she had to call a person to get it unlocked.Finally a man(hostel warden) came down from stairs and unlocked the gate.She got in,(before that warden could lock the gate again,drunkard above 40 plus age suddenly happened to enter the gate from the street and touch our lady employee who was in a hurry to enter her hostel… Our cab was taking a turn,but  driver had to put a brake,bcos she screamed aloud continuously !!!! She was our responsibility !We would make sure nothing goes wrong with her !Security guard got down from the cab and warned the drunkard..Though he was not in his senses, he did not listen to our guard,so cab driver had to get down to put things in the right place,But  nothing worked until security raised his  hand(which was needed to protect a lady).As he was too drunk,he dint trouble after that.Now after this entire scene it was time to drop all remaining employees. There was not a single soul on that road. Driver,security guard got into cab, Before they could close the cab door ,Suddenly out of nowhere a group of five young guys got into our cab,pulled our driver, guard outside.They asked all of us to get down questioning “This is our area and how can you touch anyone here”.Though we tried our level best to tell what was the incident,they were in no patience to listen…Luckily lady employees were not touched but guy employees including guard and driver were hit real bad ! Things fell into place once they felt its enough and we happened to reach our respective places.

This blog is not to tell you how did we manage to be safe.Its to tell you ,what shouldn’t  be done during such incidents

1)      Don’t Panic – Its scary and unexpected but still try not to freak out in such situations. Try to stay calm and little easy.If  you freak out,there is nothing you can do other than making others around you panic too!I am saying this because I saw  few people who started to cry in the cab, I told them to go and sit in the back seat and there is nothing to worry until we all are around!

2)      Don’t ever get down mid way (specially if you are a lady) – When the fight is on,don’t try to simply get down from the cab and start walking ,when you really don’t know which area you are in and what is the direction you have to follow to reach your place.Because you never know if you are followed.The company cab will definetly not leave you mid road. Have patience and trust them!!

3)      Choose your words and actions carefully – Its always better to choose your words and actions carefully rather than letting the fight grow-up..Its ok if you compromise and let it go instead of shouting at high voice and loosing temper which worsens the situation!

4)      Act Smart – Its understood that you will first call the transport for help.But Make sure your help reaches you fast.There can be some people to help you nearby, faster than transport  help .You may have your own smart ways of escape(like the pepper spray etc) .If situation is too worse that you have no other go then use it!

So Guys and Gals, Never wait for help because each second counts !! Act Smart before its too late ! :)
