Default Never compramise on quality and safety

A child was admitted in child trust hospital.Caring to know the reason??Yes, I am coming to the topic.The child was watching cartoon programmes in TV.She (the child) was totally engrossed in the channel,enjoying it ,dancing as she is excited about the cartoonists performing various activities and happily settled with her small chair near the television. Ofcourse we are all aware of the bad consequences of sitting near in a short distance.

The television was placed on the TV stand .The stand seemed to be lighter than the Television itself and surmounted by it.Being a child,who is totally unaware of the danger arising out of the less weight stand and incidentally the child’s mother was busy in her activities,she was playfully hitting the stand.The stand lost its balance and was circling and forced the television ,unable to handle its weight ,down.Now half of the child’s body (lower posture) was under the less weight stand and the TV was shattered into pieces was found on the other side of the child.Less fortunately,the TV fell adjacent to the child.

As usual,the child was rushed to the hospital.She is out of danger.When the doctor who treated the child was interviewed,gave the shocking news that fifteen to twenty similar cases were treated every month.Does it sound serious and terrible????Definitely yes.The doctor insisted that when people spend around twenty five thousand rupees for TV fail to spend a few thousand rupees for a quality stand.

It is an act of stupidity. ”Penny wise pound foolish” would aptly fit here.While we are not responsible for happenings beyond our control,atleast we can prevent incidents which are born due to our extreme carelessness,hesitations and mere negligence.What else? This not only applies to buying quality products but in other circumstances too.Some may spend lavishly on buying things which would ultimately reach the dustbin in a short span of time but think and hesitate to spend on timely ,helping aspects.Moreover people go in for less branded /quality products due to their cheap rates,but very soon it may show its face.Best examples are iron box,heater .It is fine unless we are affected by it.So,think over.Never compromise on quality and safety in what we buy.

Dear,

Exactly Penny wise Pound foolish! In many houses people buy the most expensive Gas stoves. But we neglect to check the gastube to avoid leakage. It is mandatory to change the tube after a stipulated time. How many of us do that?

I have seen ladies working in the kitchen behaving recklessly. Shouldn't the dupatta or saree be worn properly to avoid accidents. May of them open the kitchen cabinets while the gas stove is on very care lessly. In many houses they are placed against the wall facing the kitchen platforms.

Yesterday I saw a youth riding a two wheeler with a small child made to stand in front. He had a mobile on one hand and was busy engaged in talking and was tring to manoevure the vehicle with the other hand.

Many of us compromise on many things which makes our life complicated. kanaka

Dear kanaka,
Thanks for stepping in.Yeah in most of the cases,women forget to switch off the gas.When we are going out,it is mandatory to check whether the gas is off,heater switch is off.Because many unexpected situations are happening due to this and it is highly difficult to recoup for it.
I would quote a incident happened some time before.Myself and my mother were stepping out for a function.Usually we used to check out everything and particularly on that day,we would have travelled almost half of the destination,my mother suspected that whether we switched off the gas stove,as we switched on for heating milk.As we could not exactly remember,we decided to return to our house,it is even ok if we have switched off,atleast we can be on the safer side.But fortunately,when we opened the door,the house was smelling (pungent smell)because we did not switch off the gas.Immediately,we rushed to the windows and windows,opened all of them.Moreover since we are residing in apartments it would be a major problem concerning public disturbance.So we need to check carefully.
Reckless driving,using mobile phone while driving has become inevitable now a days.It is upto each and every individual.

Thanks a lot kanaka for your feedback as you are the first one.

Dear Bhargavi,

One neighbour of mine had kept wate for boiling. It remained whole night. Finally in the morning she saw a melted pot in front of her.

Some of them keep the tap open. There are people who had gone on vacation with the taps on.
The tank use to go empty very soon. Finally somebody solved the mystery. We took the key from soxiety office. Opened the door and closed the taps. This happened during a summer season. kanaka

Very wise. Quality products may be more costly, but then it's better to be patient and wait till one can afford them. The alternative could be much more costly in the long run.

Dear BC,

That was really a sad and aching situation dear !!

Even this happened in one of family friends home.. A 2 yr old boy..playing near the TV stand.,He just pushed the stand it had rolling wheels under it..Rolling wheels should not be used in such homes having babies !!

My God !! But he had nothing serious very few injuries .. ..cause his Mom came and grabbed him ....

Very Good informative post and nice write up dear !!
