When i travel to different cities alone, my parents ask me to be careful. I understand that all parents would be concerned if their daughters travel alone, anywhere, moreso in a country like ours. We are advised not to be gullible, not to trust strangers or anybody for that matter. I agree with most of it. But, this question occurs to me quite often and i don't have any answer for it. Who else can i trust apart from 'my people'? The man/woman i meet on the train is from my place. Talking about regions, that's a different thing. Have we lost all credibility as people, even from the same country within the geographical boundaries of the same region?

Incredible, isn't it?!
