Here's Another Important Reason Why You Should Always Put Your Seat-belt On

Being a Delhite extended weekends for most working professionals mean a trip to the mountains. Carrying forward the bandwagon I decided to explore Mussoorie in the monsoon (never do that). So, a series of unfortunate incidents made me learn this crucial fact about air bags. 

Your air bags won't work if you don't have the seat belt on

We fell down to 50 ft and they didn't pop up, can you imagine that? And no I am not writing this from hell, we fortunately survived the whole incident.

Air bags are definitely not a substitute to seat belts, they work in coordination to save lives. Without seat belts on, the air bags are not that effective and can cause injury depending upon how you end up when they are fired.

There were many cases in which the occupants were killed due to severe head injuries or were injured badly because the airbags deployed when they were not wearing seat belts. Ruptured lungs or broken rib cages were also reported. That is why some cars will not 'arm' the airbags to avoid the damage.

This is sadly true

Without the seat belt, air bags can cause as much injury as an accident

Spooky, right? I learned it the hard way. Hope this article will help you guys, drive safe and always wear the seat belt.

A simple love story, the best ever.

A strange thing happened today. A man in his mid-30s took a seat near me in the Metro. After a while, I realized he was saying something. Needless to say, I was annoyed a bit. Who want to be bothered while listening to music? “What?”, I asked hoping it better be something important. He said, “Do you have something to listen to?”. Of course, dumbass! Why else would I be plugging my earphones on, I thought to myself but only managed, “Yeah, obviously” as politely as I could. The man didn't say anything but the social protocol made me offer him “something to listen to”. He inquired if I have 80s English music to which I interred,” In the End by Linkin Park is the oldest song in my phone.” To which, he said “In the Mohabat Barsa Dena hai?” attempting a lame joke. However, I faked a smile—again for social protocol's sake. I played that song and offered him one end of the earphone.

Minutes passed by and the song was about to get over. I thought I was done with him when he requested, “'Can we please listen to it one more time?” as if the song was Kohinoor diamond itself! I wanted to listen to Shady but going by his love for the song, I put it on repeat. I was snoozy after the fourth time listening to Arijit Singh's over-sweet melody. Just then, he turned to me and exulted, “You made my day”, even though I was not at all interested to start a conversation but curiosity killed me. “What makes you like the song so much?” I questioned. He turned uncomfortable, turned away his face and mumbled “I love music” with a stutter. I figured out he was hiding something but anyway added, “We all have memories to each song and only that makes us listen to a song on a loop.” He chuckled and said “Achha?”

“There was a girl,” he revealed after 2-3 minutes of minutes. “Aha, I knew it. So your wife?'' I asked with increased interest. “'No, we have an affair for 23 years,” he boasted. “Why don't you marry her?” the relationship advisor from within suggested. “Can't” he said. “Family problems?” I turned CID.

“No, she died last month,” he said getting up from the seat and moving towards the Metro gate, I was in shock and being a person with zero social skills, all I could ask was “Is this your station?” trying to change the topic to make him feel better.

“It was four stations ago. Just that she used to like this song very much so I got emotional,” he explained before shaking my hands and thanking me. It was indeed the sincerest thanks I ever received and for what? Keeping an Arijit Song in my phone with 800 others party numbers?

He was no Shah Jahan. He didn't build a Taj Mahal for his love but the sincerity in his eyes was no less. I have never written a post so long but this common man deserved it for his extraordinary love.

PS: Wrote this on the rest of my travel time with the same song... still on repeat.

The basic characters of every Fiction, Hollywood Movie.

Being a 90s kid, I have always been a fanatic of Hollywood movies that made me sit on the edge of my seat & often even made me take popcorn from the bucket of the stranger sitting next to me (okay, I was just hungry). But by closely watching all these movies for years, I 've started getting to the nerve of the movie and while watching the new Jurassic World I could almost guess fate of every single character at the end of the movie. Lets look at the basic characters in every such movies with the reference from Jurassic World as it is the recent one we all must have seen. Here goes ..

1. The over smart asshole

This guy has his own selfish motive and puts everyone's life at stake for his own benefit, needless to say he dies a very painful death by the end.

Other example

Villain of Anaconda

2. The invincible hero

The lead is riding with the raptors, getting in the cage of furious 50 feet dinosaurs, cornered by a T-rex but you know he won't die.

Other Example

3. The emo angle

These people have not a single threat from the problem at hand, they can even survive if they are chewed up by a razor toothed Dinosaur, stabbed by a ghost or even meeting someone like Just Beiber. They are the safest person to be with in cases of epidemic.

The part where the Indominus rex pins down the kids.

Other Example

Kids are usually the emotional aspect who bonds with their relatives over the course of such movies.

 4. The glamour quotient

The part where Claire becomes faster than Usian Bolt, IN HEELS.

She is the beauty with brains, she is witty, funny & sexy (read immortal). How else do you explain a lady in heels running faster T-rex.

5. The sweet guy

Irrfan Khan in Jurassic World

He is neither an evil or a saint, such guys often dies to make the movie more impactful.
