Unfortunately, humans are designed to be rebellious. Instruct someone to not do something and be sure that they will end up doing exactly that. Risk taking gives us an adrenaline rush. Sometimes we are lucky, but that doesn't mean that luck would always be by your side.

A group 14 tourists, mostly from the same family, from Maharashtra in India, travelled all the way to the country's party capital, Goa to let their hair down. Goa and beaches are synonyms and leaving the city without taking a dip in the sea was something that this group didn't want to. So, the group ignored the sign boards that restricted people from entering the waters in bold capitals, ventured into the sea. The government has put up sign boards at all places around the beach and also installed red flags to keep the tourists away from the choppy waters. The government has also put a ban on fishing too as safety measures. However, this group of friends went into the sea and soon were dragged into deep waters by the strong water currents.
Many escaped, but five of them were unable to come to a safer place. The shouts of the other alerted the locals who tried saving the friends but could only help get two out of the five to the shore. Three friends lost their lives for their ignorance.
I wish the group had obeyed the orders. People should know that monsoons are not the right time to enter into the sea. The bodies of the deceased will be handed to the group after the formalities.
