ALERTNESS REQUIRED IN KNOWN PLACES TOO

Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, often violently.
- Andrew Davidson. 
My friend Abhay Jee was going downstairs in his brother in law’s house where he had visited thousands of times. Hence, he perceived no danger. Abhay Jee lost a little balance on the last stair.Lo! both his ankle's bones cracked; the poor fellow was confined to bed for three months.
PLEASE MIND YOUR STEPS. ANY CASUAL ATTITUDE MAY CONFINE YOU ON BED FOR  MONTHS.
My one more friend Anil Jee broke his leg while going downstairs in his own home.He suggests remaining more alert while going downstairs.

A good number of persons fall in their own bathrooms and get cracked hip-bones. My nephew fell in a pothole near his house and suffered seven stitches on his upper lip.
Therefore the slogan "Remain vigilant, keep safe." will keep you safe and sound at all places.  One Shayar wrote," न मुझे जितने की खुशी थी, न मुझे हारने का गम था, मगर अफ़सोस मेरी किश्ती वहां डूबी जहाँ पानी कम था। "  (I was neither pleased to win, nor depressed to lose. But, alas my boat capsized in shallow waters.) 
The need of the hour is to remain more alert in known places since any complacency and carelessness will cause large losses.
