Students prefer big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, etc. for further studies after passing the 12th. However these new cities are totally unknown to them, and the teenagers face lots of difficulties while adjusting. For a few days they may have lots of fun enjoying the hangouts and services of the city. But then, parents feel a bit unsure while sending their children to these places. Are these cities safe?
Recently, my friend moved to Pune to get a degree in B.com. It took only few days for him to settle. Yesterday, he was traveling to mall for night show of a movie. Suddenly some transgenders approached him and demanded money. There were 5-6 of them so he took out 100 rupees. But they said they will bless his wallet too and forcefully took out all the money. When he tried to pull it back some of the notes torn out. He started fighting, but they surrounded him in a circle and started abusing. They all were drunk very badly. Somehow he got some money back but they took away around 1000 rupees from his wallet.

Even my parents are not sure about sending me out to other places for studying. Cause the world seems more unsafe, specially for girls to them. It's true that the world is not a bed of roses, it's not that safe. In some cases snatchers even stab the victims giving them serious injuries, just to get their money. But what I think is that, even the four walls of your house could not make you safe. I heard a story in childhood :
" There was a person who got scared of anything and everything around him. He feared that someday he would have to leave this world. This thought made him over conscious, and he locked himself up in a room. But he had to face death when a heavy painting above his bed fell on his head. "
Misfortune can happen to anyone, anywhere in the entire world. Our government can rarely do anything for our protection against such people and mishaps. Friends just be aware, but don't stop yourself to move ahead. Wherever you are, wherever you go for college, enjoy life.
