Bindu29 Comments

Here is an update about the gruesome incident that took place in Vibgyor school Bangalore. A 6 year old child was raped by 2 teachers and the school authorities are not taking responsibility for kids. Here is the updates I got from a parent.

Update on vibgyor incident:Those who
cannot make it today…Here is update

      1. The incident took place on 2nd July and child of 1st grade was sexually assaulted by 2 school teachers.

      2. Two SPA coaches of school are involved in the incident i.e. Gymnastic Teacher and Western Dance Teacher

      3. The incident took place in main block of the school between 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM in some dark room

      4. School is trying to cover up the entire incident and not ready to take any responsibility. School is trying to prove that incident happened outside the school but police confirmed it happened in Main Block

      5. Possibility of more people being involved cannot be ruled out by police as the Aaya (maid) took the timeout and she only took the child to dark room and after that she only took the child to washroom for cleaning on the day of incident

      6. The SPA teachers assaulted child on the pretext of punishing her and threatened her of dire consequences after the incident

      7. Both the teachers are in police custody but not arrested yet8. The class teacher, Primary coordinator, SPA coordinator and other teachers are being questioned by the police. All SPA activities are suspended by the school sine die till the investigation is over.

      8. This is not the 1st incident but many parents highlighted & reported multiple cases of molestation and child abuse within Vibgyor premises in last few years….In-fact last week 1 girl student of 6th class was molested by swimming teacher in school. The gymnastic teacher who is arrested, there were multiple complaints in past against him for taking pics of girl child and molestation. If school would have taken action against Gymnastic teacher on time then this horrific incident could have been avoided.842_horamavu

      9. All parents were aghast and shocked by the attitude of school authorities…The principal was hiding behind and on top of it school authorities named the child in public domain which is a serious crime…Parents were concerned that any tom, dick and harry can be teacher in VIBGYOR HIGH and most of the teachers are working for pocket money…They are not trained teachers & just doing time pass…Send your kids at own risk till end of academic year….It was shocking to know experience of other parents and it is one of most dangerous schools in Bangalore with lot many untold stories of child molestation and abuse.

VOLVO Bus precautions

BinduLeave a comment

If you are in India, I am sure you would have come across the recent accidents that happened to two Volvo buses departing from Bangalore. One was of Jabbar Travels which was heading to Hyderabad from Bangalore and another was National Travels bus which was going to Mumbai from Bangalore.

TV9 Kannada showed some of the Emergency openings in VOLVO buses. Sharing the same with you.

  1. In KSRTC buses there will be hammer near windows and also a square shaped marked on windows which you have to break with hammer.
  2. An emergency door near the second or third seat, if you fold the seat you will be able to see the door, you can open the same and come out.
  3. You can break the rear glass panel.
  4. you can come out from Driver’s door.
  5. you can also lift the ventilator door and try to come out from there.

Please ensure what all emergency exit options available in the bus you travel before departure.

Please ask the driver and conductor to check the luggage of all passengers so that nobody is carrying any inflammable material.

It is high time we start taking responsibility to save our lives!!

An Immune India!

Bindu4 Comments

Well Indiblogger has come up with new contest ‘An immune India’ from Dabur, and wants bloggers to write about being healthy. But as soon as I read the topic my mind ran superfast in a different direction. India is immune to what? Yes literally we are not immune to Dengue or Malaria! It still attacks us. We are not immune to obesity, cancer, heart attack, Diabetes so on and so forth. But we are more immune few things homogeneously throughout India such as

  1. Corruption
  2. Violence on Woman
  3. Attack on Self respect
  4. Attack on freedom of speech
  5. Over powering of foreign culture over Indian culture
  6. Increasing cast-ism
  7. Fake organisations
  8. Diminishing Indian Languages…

so on and on and on………..

We have built such a strong immunity to all these.

A school asks you to pay donation in cash and does not give receipt, you pay and do not argue.. we are immune to corruption. It does not touch our nerves. It never makes us get angry, or ask for a reason.

A boy is teasing a girl on the road, there are plenty of people around, but no body is bothered. Does not affect them in any way. None of my concern!

You know the auto driver has wrong meter, you do not complain, why take unnecessary risk?

The candidates know that it was a fake interview, conducted just for the sake of rules and regulations, but nobody will complain! Not affected, not bothered.

There will be 50 students in a class so around 100 responsible parents, but if the teacher makes mistakes in Notes or teaching, nobody will question. Why should I? Why not others? Why should I be the problematic parent?

Where is India heading with this kind of immunity? When does our hair stand straight and hand is ready to give a punch? when will we pick up the phone and dial 100 as soon as we see something wrong?

Is it because of this urban lifestyle that our bodies have become so weak that they no more hold any hot blood??

will Dabur help us? To be not immune to these things??

Should we laugh at this or cry??

who is Ruma Roka?

Do you know Ruma Roka?

Suppose you are attending a quiz show, and you do not know who is vidya balan, but you know who is Ruma Roka, then you can feel proud of yourself. J

Yes, it’s true. There are so many unsung heroes and heroines around us and the media never makes them popular. But it gives so much publicity to people who do not deserve it.

I came across this video on the works done by Ruma Roka through indibloggers idea caravan contest. Again another very inspiring and heart touching performance by someone who is as simple and down to earth like me and you!

Ruma Roka learnt the sign language and tried to understand the potential of the deaf and dumb comrades of our society. Then she tried to educate them, teach them how to use computer in a 2 BHK house, and starts this venture with 6 students. And can you imagine now she is able to place 580 people in different big organizations!

The punch line is deaf and dumb people work better than us, as they are not distracted by what others are talking!

That reminds of the story of the frogs which fell in the well, and the deaf one jumped up even though those on the floor were shouting you cannot do it, give up. It thought they are encouraging, and the one who could hear, got demotivated and died in the well!

Well Ruma Roka is really great. I am sure she must have had a lot of opposition, heard lot of criticism from the so called normal people of society. But her will to bring everybody to the common stream has made her achieve the real success. So what is the message?

Just be deaf to all the demotivating words when you are working towards a noble cause. We can do it too. Let us do it.

Watch her narrate her success story here
