Life goes on...

After a long time I m back with myself...In the mean time i visited two extreme places of India: Goa and Delhi..Both are beautiful in their own ways.I enjoyed the delicacies, the weather, the company of wonderful people, the beauty of nature in one place and the feeling power in the other . Then I read about and saw (on TV) one of the most terrible events of our life time : The Japenese Nightmare ... The first thought that came to my mind was How fast things change??? Imagine a person living in one of the most advanced economies of the world with all the facilities and luxuries of the world and in a matter of hours his life changes to the most hell-like conditions he couldn't have even imagined...He is thrown on the road with no roof on the head..His family nowhere round him, maybe washed away.All his wealth drowned..theres nothing other than him left all alone to fight for his existence..
Then suddenly the scary dream turns into a real nightmare with the Fukushima reactor buildings exploding like glass pots and he is adviced to leave his place, leave the streets he roamed and he suddenly is left on the food and water the government feeds him if he is lucky enough...All seemed to me like the stories we indians read or heard from our parents when we were naughty kids that theres a Nark (Hell), where we will be left alone to face all the struggles and nothing living or non-living will come along...
But thats why we human beings have lived so many epidemics and calamities coz we know to get up stronger every time we fall...
Then i thought is our country ready for anything of this sort..And whoever i discussed this with, in a flash answered NOWAYs, followed by many lame excuses Our people are not aware, Our government is corrupt, there is no system, this is not possible...It all sounded like we had fallen far before the strike..We all seriously need to ponder upon this question and atleast educate our family members about how we must protect ourselves if anything like this stikes..Atleast as a first step this can be done i'd rather say it must be done..
