भास्कर ओपिनियन: एक अदद सेल्फ़ी के लिए जान जोखिम में मत डालिए!

On August 4, a girl who had reached Borne Ghat in Satara, Maharashtra to take a selfie slipped and fell 100 feet down into the gorge. People rescued her with the help of a rope.

Mobile phones may have brought the whole world to the palm of the hand. It may have made many things easier, but there are many things that are being missed. In fact, they have already been missed. Dangers are increasing. Carelessness is also increasing. Because of these, we are being cheated.

All kinds of frauds are happening with us. Especially with those youngsters who have considered the mobile phone in their hands as their world, their everything. It is not that new experiments in technology are not right. They are welcome, but if the precautions that should be taken with these are not taken care of, then the risk to life will keep increasing day by day.

Tourists visit the Dabdaba Waterfall in the Chandra Drona Hill Range in Chikmagalur, Karnataka on July 9.

These days, it is raining heavily in many states of the country. At some places, it seems as if the clouds have burst. Especially in those areas like Rajasthan, where people used to be desperate to even see rain.

Young people are jumping into fast flowing, twisting and swirling rivers with their mobile phones. They are taking selfies. They are getting swept away. They are even losing their lives. After all, what is the point of sending such selfies to friends, acquaintances or relatives which pose a risk to life?

Four friends in Bhojpur, Bihar went to take a bath in the Ganga river on Ganga Dussehra. During this, while making reels, all of them went into deep water and drowned. Family members waiting for their dead bodies to be taken out after the accident.

Actually, the fault is ours. We parents. We have also become so busy with the mobile phone that we don’t even have time to tell the children about its precautions. It is said – “Samarth ko nahi dosh Gusai, Ravi, Pavak, Sarita ki nai.” The sun, fire and river cannot be blamed. Playing with them without caution is definitely dangerous.

Actually, what is happening is that we start considering ourselves capable in front of them. This is our mistake. These mistakes need to be corrected. Everyday there are reports that five youths drowned in the river while taking selfies. Four were swept away…

No one wants to be alert after hearing and seeing these scary news. The country’s youth wealth is flowing away. It has to be saved. Some precautions have to be taken! Understand this much. At least don’t put your life in danger. Nothing is more valuable than life! Nothing at all!
