The Black Sunday

Truly, this Sunday was the darkest in many a ones lives in South Asia. The seemingly calm ocean waters can unleash such a havoc..this is something i had not given thought abt in my 21 yrs of earthly life..The trips to beach hv always left pleasant memories..till this sunday...The sandy shores on which I had trodden a coupla days before no longer exists to bear testimonial to my great times there....The kids who used 2 wave a big Hi hv been swallowed, leaving a void in their loved ones life....Wailings of mothers,wives 'n sisters wring the fibres of my heart 'n corpses..God wht a sight tht was.....Families hv perished with nobody to identify the bodies 'n survivors are lacking the reason to live any longer...Even in these tragic circumstances..there are few ignoble souls who actually break into the locked houses 'n loot the remaining stuff...I shouldn't even b calling them souls coz any human with a soul within him wouldn't dare to dream about such an action...
I feel grateful tht I am of some help to these victims of the nature's fury and I hope these ppl find a purpose for living soon.
Thanks to all the corporates and generous beings for their generosity!
