In the whirlwind of life's challenges, we often find ourselves caught in the clutches of panic. Faced with unexpected and potentially dangerous situations, our minds race, and our hearts pound as we struggle to maintain control.

One such incident occurred a few months ago when a family of three monkeys unexpectedly entered my home, creating a chaotic hour-long ordeal. It all started when I heard a commotion in the house while I was engrossed in my work. Upon investigation, I found to my astonishment that three monkeys, one male and two females, had made their way inside. They scampered around the rooms, knocking things over, and creating a scene.😐

In that moment of panic, my mind went blank. The monkeys, seemingly unaware of the chaos they were causing, continued their exploration.

As I frantically tried to think of a solution, I realized that provoking or teasing the monkeys would only exacerbate the situation. I had encountered monkeys on multiple occasions and learned that it's best to let them do what they want and not interfere.

The male monkey, the apparent leader of the trio, grabbed a large papaya from the kitchen and retreated to my brother's room on the second floor. He proceeded to crush the papaya and devour it, creating an even bigger mess.

When we attempted to shoo him away by shouting at him with the door closed, he responded by running and banging on the door. The situation seemed dire, and I feared that the monkeys would cause further damage.😑

Faced with a tense situation involving monkeys, we decided not to intervene. They eventually found their way out, leaving a mess behind. This taught us that sometimes, in unexpected challenges, remaining calm and not provoking the situation can lead to a peaceful resolution.

In a remarkable display of quick thinking and bravery, a 13-year-old girl from Basti district in Uttar Pradesh made headlines and became an internet sensation. When faced with a threatening monkey attack, she ingeniously used Amazon's virtual voice assistant, Alexa, as her defense. I don't have an Alexa device at home, and the idea of playing dog audio on my phone didn't even cross my mind. By commanding Alexa to imitate a dog's bark, she effectively scared away the intruding primate, ensuring her and her younger sister's safety. That's truly incredible!👏
Anand Mahindra, impressed by a girl's intelligence, expressed interest in her joining MahindraRise. The incident highlights the value of quick thinking and technology in facing challenges.
India is not for ordinary people❤️
