Lesson to learn from our three Bhutanese women recently rescued by Mumbai police

google

No sooner had I read the news titled –'Alleged trafficking of three Bhutanese women to Sri Lanka yet to be verified,' I recalled the movie titled –'Taken Film Series,' which was well played by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) to rescue his 17-year old daughter after she is being kidnapped by a group of Albanian human traffickers and sold her into flesh business while travelling to France for her vacation.

Like in the movie, it won't be possible to have techniques and skills like how Bryan Mills have to get his daughter. We can't rely on GPRS technology like in the movie unless it is well planned. The movie comes as a great lesson for anyone, our youths, parents and guardian –especially young girls or women to be extra careful about themselves while travelling, both within and outside. More so, when one plan to fly abroad.   

The movie connect so well with both good and dreadful sides of human life, when there are good people around, there are equal bad people who would also follows your foot print. The movie took place in a simple setting, but slowly as it advances, it brings in more confusing, horrifying, complicated and mind-numbing scene. I felt good to watch this movie because every bits of movie is a great life lesson.

In the movie, the Albanian human traffickers are so smart. You can hardly finds their lapses. They are trained. They are professionals. But on the other hand, I was thoroughly amazed by how Bryan Mills, the father of a daughter handles the situation to get his daughter back. However, he finally gets her back but all in hopeless grief.

One thing we must learnt from the movie is that, such techniques and intelligence won't work in real life. It can never be possible to track and find back anyone who have been abducted. 

With population expanding, unemployment is certain, technology getting more sophisticated, and we could see many Bhutanese being fooled, entrapped and being scammed so easily. It is good to have job abroad, it can bring home lots of money and make family happy. However, at the same time it is also important to study the situation carefully before making any foreign deal. You are responsible for your own action. We need to remember travelling and earning overseas isn't as easy as you think. It is not like fighting for water dispute among neighborhoods back home. After all it makes no difference as long as you are in the homeland. You can be still safe and sound! 

The recent case of an alleged trafficking of three Bhutanese women by a Lankan man after colluding with a Bhutanese woman comes as a great lesson to learn. 

I thank immigration officials, Mumbai for doing their job. Their intelligence, vigilance and concern are what it makes them to be the best immigration servants. The concern cops involved also deserves hands down salute for informing concern authority as fast as possible. They all are the winners this time. We must all learn to work like them for the quality service.  

But this time our own Bhutanese woman have deceived our own three innocent women friends. I don't actually understand, why our people are so crazy about overseas jobs, when they can have their comfortable life in the country with little construction work, road maintenance, plumbing and car washing jobs? Why people still have to fly overseas for the same job or even more so dangerous and over pressurized work load? Still most of our jobs are in the hands of our Indian friends. 

Please, do not loaf over jobs easily from unknown agent or someone you happen to know through the phones. Do not give your real information to such people. Never fully trust them. Study the about the job and the assurance first. If you get such lofty offers from such person/agent, try and share the information to the rightful person around. Remember, people can deceive you without your notice. Be careful!

Although, money can do everything, it brings happiness and luxury but at the same time it can also takes away life so easily. Remember money can't buy you happiness. Money can't replace your happiness. 

However, it was happy to know that they are safe. I wish them to travel home safely. Nevertheless, as a sister, mother, wife, cousin, and relatives they may have learnt some good lessons from their trips to Mumbai.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
