I take pride
in the news that was brought to the fore when Passu, a teacher friend wrote in
his blog about local sex videos going viral among the app users, WE CHAT. I
even witnessed the BBS program titled, Cybercrime: Private affairs going
public. I was wondering if at a personal level how many of us are modest enough
to report this to the ‘concerned authorities’. After watching the program, I
was confused who this ‘Concerned authority’ is.
Well, apps
are inevitable but how many of us make a good USE of it. Rather, going by the
news and trends, most of us MISUSE and ABUSE it. My update today is neither
about applications, programs or neither gadgets nor it has anything to do with
these ICT stuff.
On the night
of 21st July, I was waiting for someone near the Norling building. The
parking lot was filled with parked-empty cars. I was listening to some western
oldies on a radio station and I was leaning behind hoping to take a short nap.
After some numbers I saw a pretty girl in her mid twenties (by her look) who fell
down near my car-outside with her hand bag stuffs scattered all over. As she
tried to gather things and put things in her bag, she looked at me. That’s when
I could make it that she was drunk.
She
instantly stood up and knocked the front glass of my car-as I had it locked
from the inside. As she knocked she uttered out, “Wai, nga che lu kay nang sey
lap een”. I was like, “Excuse me, Choe ga moh?” She reiterated, “Ng ache lu kay
nang sey malab ba tey” “Ngayi charo tsu” and then she stopped saying anything.
Seriously I don’t know who this girl was and I have never met her before.
Then“Go chi si” simultaneously trying to open my door from the outside. I had
my hairs upright thinking what on earth is happening!
Then I
opened the lock for my wife who was looking at the girl. She asked me if I knew
her. I assured I don’t. Then I narrated the whole incident as we drove back
home, still unable to believe a stranger talking to me in the dead of the
night. Then she narrated an incident, sometime in 2010 a cabbie was robbed in a
same way. A beautiful girl boarded a cab and asked the cabbie to drop her to
some place, not realizing that it was a decoy. As the cab approached her
designated location, there were a group of youngsters waiting. She asked to
stop the cab and instantly these boys robbed the cabbie. This incident further
shook me completely.
The point is
this sort of things can happen to anyone. This update is to make the general
public aware of the mischief our youngsters commit in times of desperation.
Please be
aware of this sort of things, I know you will. Keep safe folks!
