being concerned & technology became a friend!

It is indeed true that people, children, women, of all ages, casts and creeds want safety and security.
Confusion and talks about being safe and secure are to be fixed.

The Delhi Nirbhaya case shook the entire country and a startup called SmartCloud based in Pune came up with an App - Nirbhaya: Be Fearless © for women safety and security.

Concern and the App for their own women employees, were widely appreciated and reached across seven seas.

Having received amazing response and huge coverage.. The Nirbhaya: Be Fearless team went an extra mile and did whole lot of research and then the SOS App was not just an SOS App anymore.
The Nirbhaya: Be Fearless team from Smart cloud launched Nirbhaya 3.0 with advanced Features like Geo Fence and Stamp.

So in Geofence you can mark an area where you spend most of the time as one of your fences and when you exit or enter the fence, the message informs your configured number about your movement.
It was interesting know that a lot of people after using this feature said - We don't call homes anymore to tell that we have left office because they get an automatic sms with this information, location and time.

Stamp is a feature where a user can mark the areas as safe or unsafe. This activity leads to Heatmap generation, through which you can actually see different areas in a particular location with a very effective color usage - of red and green to showcase unsafe and safe areas respectively.

This kind of App gives a sense of security and a feeling that finally technology steps towards being a friend.

being confused !

So for this women safety - shall we depend on Police, security guards, NGOs, political party's announcements... or probably couple of more options in same lines...

why are we being confused ? why are we being dependent on the above... then should we learn karate , self defense , etc...

we as women , girl, female are so confused now that we are forgetting to ensure our safety - we are the ones who have to see what is right, what is wrong and shall we depend or just ensure that we are independent enough to fix the things or take precautions enough...

I sound contradictory - don't I ?

So - being a social animal we are dependent for a lot of things on others.... so is it good or bad.. are we doing good or  bad...  what has happened is not good, was it my fault  or was it not ? was i in wrong direction ?
shall i share this with anybody ? what will they think ? how will they react ?

being caught in what, whys, hows and whoms.... we are being confused....

and i don't want to be... i want to express, i do that and i will continue to do that...

first note....

here we are, talking, discussing, reading in a newspaper, listening to a news coverage, etc... about a rape of an individual , all in different circumstances...
whats the first reaction - O my god, oh No.... and few people like me cry while viewing the news coverage...
 i dedicate this blog to women freedom, security, issues and how can we tackle those, what is it that is required to fix these problems,  everyone of us has faced in one or the way, may be different in degree of severity.
