Strange encounters to a common man on the road
Recently I read that a person while walking on the road side was hit with a falling tree branch and was hospitalized. Few days back, when I went to an industrial unit, I was told that many years ago a boy playing in the ground died due to lightning strike. In the same area, when my self and a friend were going on evening walk, my friend had bird drops on his head twice within a span of ten minutes, and myself being just a feet or two away had narrow escape. There were reports of fall of snake being carried by an eagle in the sky on a person below and biting him to death. Personally, about an year ago, I had a near miss from a falling temporary structure, which fell about 10 feet in front of me while I was sitting in a vehicle. The structure was erected in front of a temple and it fell on another car below it but its passengers walked out without any injury.
Vehicles coming from a side lane or opposite and killing the riders on the main road is a regular news item. Uneven surfaces/pot holes/unmarked speed breakers on the road in the darkness unnerve the vehicle riders particularly two wheelers as they approach closer, and may even lead to their fall. Splashing of water from the roads onto the persons by speeding vehicles on the road is another danger which can distract and can lead to accidents.
In some photos I saw deers and other animals hitting the cars while crossing the road and leading to major road accidents. There will be many such unknown dangers, but some of them can be learned before hand by making a research about the area to be visited and take measures to avoid such encounters.

Jail term upto 7 years for sharing porn online
The union cabinet meeting under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister approved an amendment to Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 (IRWA) with penalty up to Rs 5.0 lac and 7 years imprisonment for sharing porn through video or MMS. In present form it was applicable only to print media which is now brought to audio-visual and electronic media also. The proposal will be put up to parliament for making it into law. The amendment is a must in view of trouble and stress created by failed lovers and others who want to take revenge on their friend/partner/others for not accepting their proposals for some gains. Even capturing / shooting videos without consent also should be included in the amendment to protect the persons and till it is made into law, an order in this regard can be passed.
