Expect The Unexpected!
The doomed Saturday!
The day 25th April, 2015 will be written in history because of the earth shattering tremors beneath The Himalayas that shook us all.. Nepal is crumbling and we hear the news of survivors and death toll everyday. The news updates, twitter updates, facebook updates and whatsapp updates are full of images, videos and description of the event..
The extent to which the updates poured in was shocking. There were people who started circulating jokes and memes on the same. My only question to such people is 'Have you lost the contact with humanity?' Have we become so insane and inhumane to devastation and pain, that we have started making fun of other's trouble?
The newspapers are filled with the helping hand India is providing but I can genuinely relate to a few. There are and were people who genuinely prayed and have been putting their efforts to help the victims.
Nepal is a place where people have shown unity, harmony and courage to fight this disaster. The pictures and articles are evidence of the never ending spirit of the nation. There were two things that touched me the most: One was the picture of a young brother sheltering his younger sister. The picture is yet to be verified but the gesture in itself said a lot without any explanation. The other was the image of the religious structures which remained intact even during this time. The places of worship and sanctity are evidence of the humanity.
My heart felt desire is to call out to the people who in the time of such calamity are willing to spare their time and efforts to work towards rebuilding the entire nation. I in my own small will, will try to spare my own efforts in helping the people in Nepal and help them retain their spirits and strengths..
