The Chinese Earthquake as everyone of you would have read in today's newspaper is definitely one of the most massive tragedies to have happened in recent times. No one was expecting it when nature unleashed it's fury on the people from the world's most populous country and the least expecting would have been the Chinese Government who are in a real mess, what with the Olympics coming up and all. I was on one hand full of hatred because of the Tibetan issue. Now, that has all turned into pity for the government and the country's people. I would love to extend my hand for any help, but being in this part of south India, I'm just so helpless as everyone of you reading this.. And the news report of the quake which said that a school collapsing leaving around 1000 kinder gardeners and teenagers dead came as a real shock for me.
But all said and done, the Earth's population has been increasing multifold and these are just Mother Earth's balancing forces. So we have to just live our life watching all tragic events wondering that it could happen to us tomorrow or maybe dayafter or a year later!
My heart goes out to all those who've died and all those people who were injured. About the future, I guess there's gonna be a lot of aid pouring in, but is it reaching the intended people. That's your guess.. I would just advice you to help in through authorised persons cos there are still fickle minded persons, who try to earn of such a disaster. Wishing China a speedy recovery!
There has been one technical miracle that has happened! The tremors were reported in twitter even while it was happening.. Check it out here
