hmm - I lived in Karachi and have been attacked a number of times under terrorism/violence - my car has suffered bullet holes and I have suffered injuries - by the rationale of being hurt/kidnapped etc. I should have never left my house. Guess where the worst happened - (Schon circle) when BB died.
$chitt happens - that is no reason to act like a doofus - man up and get work done. If you are trembling with fear or have a condition that prevents you from doing this -appoint someone to do it for you. Get a Rs 50 stamp paper allowing that certain person to act on your behalf.
That was the usual in the last days of my father's life as he could not go to offices to sort out issues. - In my case the "certain person" was usually me.
