Be safe. Be alive. A sincere request to all my successful friends.

This was 3rd sad news to come.

The 2nd one was just about few months back.

The 1st one was a about a year back.

This friend had a small factory in Chennai and travelling to attend a meeting at 8 AM in Bangalore. He left Chennai at morning 4 o'clock. Was negotiating a turn with a trailer, rammed into it and lost his life. He left his widowed mother and a disabled brother behind him.

Another friend was heading HR for a large Indian corporate and was in mid-forties only.

Other 2 were even younger, possible in their mid thirties.

All 3 met with very tragic accidents and died, one with wife. Leaving their young children orphan and their wives and parents in real sad state.

The pattern was very similar in all 3 incidents.

These were people very successful. They were highly educated. They studied in best schools that the country has.

The root cause seems to be, we all are tired of long hours at work.

We stretch ourselves too much and we have a powerful vehicle at our disposal.

So my dear friends, do not stretch yourselves too hard on the road.

Do not try to over speed just because your car can go at 120 or 150 kmph.

Your family and your relatives are waiting for you at home.

Do NOT compromise on safety at any cost.

Every thing ends when you close your eyes for ever.

Be safe. Be alive.
