Nepal Earthquakes

While singing Taylor's blank space in my head and reading Word Power made easy by Norman Lewis, I realized that my father is calling me to inform about the latest tremor felt by him due to Nepal's Earthquake of 12 May.

 

What was my take on it? I didn't feel anything, which I am guessing is the reaction of a lot of people in New Delhi. But do we feel anything regarding it? What is our actual takes on these earthquakes? When the first quake took place in Nepal on 25 April with magnitude of 7.8 I thought it was a minor earthquake near my hometown but apparently that wasn't the case and I was shocked for a moment. Being a typical teenage girl I thought that maybe the infamous movie 2012 is actually going to turn into a reality. But returning to my original thoughts I thought that if I felt the tremor being thousands of miles away from the epicenter what would have been the condition in Nepal?

I think this was the moment when we all switched on the news app on our tabloids and read about the Gorkha earthquake and switched the channels to see the visuals of the state of the devastation in Nepal. It was heartbreaking to see the level of devastation but I think the common thought running through our minds was 'It could have been me, instead of them.' and that thought made me realize that while we are carrying out our daily activities and cribbing on small things in life, life is uncertain the ruler of this kingdom is still nature, there are things which cannot be predicted, planned or foreseen. But as individuals who were left harmless in this earthquake, we question ourselves that have I lived enough in my life to face such uncertainty? Where I can die or almost turn our backs to death any second? Have I made it fruitful enough? Have I achieved what I wanted to?

We all have our responses and now its up to us that how we want to shape our lives? Seize the day while you can readers. Life is uncertain and death is inevitable, but don't stop yourself from this fear, show courage after all ' Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s just a realization that something is more important than fear.'

People have lost their lives in this earthquake and lost their loved ones, their dear ones. Try to help natives of Nepal by contributing any amount that you can through various NGO's or any relief organization.
