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.

Water crisis soon to come

According to a UN report, by the year 2030 there will only be 60% of water required in the whole world without a significant policy change. Now that’s a pretty serious situation since in 15 years we are going to have to pay water coming in our homes if this keeps up. Being an Indian, I have how water is used in India. The country is taking its water reserves for granted and is wasting a lot of it without even trying to save a little. With the Global warming, rainfall patterns all over the world have become more unpredictable and cannot be said to rely on. And as population increases so does the demand for potable water, which is going to be hot crisis soon. “India’s groundwater tables are plunging at an alarming rate with reserves in some states dwindling to critical levels. Over 16% of groundwater resources are ‘over exploited’ – mainly in north-western, western and peninsular India.
