Recieved by mail from my friend.

Today, while going to my office at Outer Ring Road (Ecospace), I had halted my vehicle outside the Symphony Co(near to New Horizon Engineering College) to attend to a mobile call. After about 3 minutes on the side of the road, one stout fellow in a bike came and slightly banged by stationary vehicle on my rear passenger door (RHS). He further asked me to come out of the vehicle. When I refused, he started banging on my vehicle with his hand and his blue helmet. He even tried to break my front RHS window and also tried to open the door. He could neither break the glass nor open the door since I had the security system on, which had securely closed all the doors. Sensing danger as this seemed to be stage managed, I immediately started the vehicle and proceeded further to my office which was just around 2 to 2.5 kms away.
When I was nearing Ecospace, another white Tata Indica (private taxi) came and stopped ahead of my vehicle. The driver came out (totally different person) and asked me to come out. I refused and asked him to go to the police station and complain if I had done any offence. He once again tried to break my RHS window and also tried to open the door, where he again failed (once again due to the security system in the car). He tried to pick up a stone, but could not find any other on the road. I immediately backed my car and overtook him and took a u-turn after just 150 metres into the service road and entered our office campus. During all the commotion, I could not note down the vehicle registration number.
Later on, I had lodged a complaint at the HAL Police Station along with our office Admin dept. The cops showed me one photo of a stout person, who seemed to resemble the stout person who had 1st appeared near the New Horizon College. The cops informed me that this is a known rowdy and he operates in Outer Ring Road after Marathahalli and that it was really my good luck that I had not got out of the vehicle and that the doors were securely locked, else I could have become one more victim who are made to go to ATM centers to withdraw money.

Common mistake in any household.

This could be a common mistake in any household.

This is shocking accident happened on 13th May 2012 in Pune. This may be a good,
useful lesson in safety for all of us.  
       

A housewife died due to burns sustained in the kitchen. Her husband too was hospitalized for injuries due to burns while trying to rescue his wife.    How it happened?:-   The gas stove was on and cooking under process. The lady observed some cockroaches near the sink and grabbed a can of insect killer and sprayed it near the gas stove, which was on. There was an explosion and in no time the poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns. Her husband rushed in, tried to douse the flames and his clothes too caught fire. The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward, still unaware that his wife was declared dead on arrival.    
 

Let us understand:-   All insect killer sprays such as "Hit", "Mortein" etc. have highly volatile and inflammable solvents.  The atomized nano spray particles spread extremely rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air. Did the poor lady realize the hazard involved? Apparently not!


Please educate your family about this and spread the word around.... who knows you may save more than a life....
