A Tribute to Nepal Earthquake Victims


25th April, 2015

Nepal was hit by an Earthquake of Magnitude 7.8. The shockwaves were felt upto Delhi. I was sitting in my room in front of my laptop when suddenly I felt everything shaking. Though nothing happened in Delhi but I am sure people panicked. Everybody ran out of their houses as soon as possible. I heard women shouting to get everyone out, children were crying because they were scared. Even I was scared a bit. The shaking happened for 5 whole mins.
Location Of Epicenter

 That feeling I cannot shake off. After a little while another tremor was felt, a little lower on Richter Scale. But scary all the same. Again I did not run out of my apartment. When everything settled down I switched on the news and found out that it was in Nepal where the Earthquake's Epicentre was located. Somewhere around 50 miles northwest of Kathmandu.

Soon the pictures of destruction caused started appearing on the television. I soon switched off the news to lighten the mood, but it was also because I myself was a little scared.

26th April, 2015

 The next day I was sitting and remembering last day's events when in the afternoon I again felt the shaking. Soon I came to know it was an aftershock of yesterday's happenings.

 Till today around 3,300 dead bodies have been confirmed in Nepal and India claims to have around 60 casualties too. Many died, more got injured. I was recovering from the shock of last two day's happenings when I realized, These people that died must be paid a tribute.

 So, today I am writing this post in remembrance of those that passed away. I know they do not require a tribute from a guy like me, but still this is my way of mourning those lives that were lost. 

 May god give peace to your souls.

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).

Diverting People's Minds

Congress has been trying to divert everyone's attention from focusing on the good things that we people might do instead of stretching former IPL chief Lalit Modi's escape to UK. Now I am no member or supporter of any political party, but as a responsible citizen of the country I do have my opinions.

Supernatural

Do you believe in Ghosts or such Supernatural beings? This question has been there since time immemorial. A large section of people around the world consider these as just made up phony theories and superstitious beliefs, used for telling interesting stories or scaring kids. But is it really so? There has been a long history of such scary stories. Many movies have now been filmed based on said true events, such as Annabelle, Conjuring and such other. But considering that it just might be a publicity stunt from the film-makers, we can deny it. But what if something of the sort happens with you in reality? Would you believe it then?
