The Tsunami Tragedy of December

Zindagi pukarti hai….aao hum tum bhi milke pukare

Zindagi kab harti hai…aao hum-tum bhi dukh se na haarein…

I had always took those words seriously….then suddenly something so tragic had happened! A Tsunami was able to take the lives of so many people, leaving their loved ones alone. The Tsunami destroyed the homes and shelters of so many innocent people. This is the first anniversary of the Tsunami that hit south east asia! A thing we all may not even dare to celebrate but just remember either seeing all the tragic things happening to people from Television…and others who took part in this very horrible experience!

Like most Christmases many people expect having a wonderful Christmas with their families and enjoying! Though little did the people living in parts of South East Asia know what was heading their way. People where busy with their normal jobs and others just enjoying the sunny day outside….little did they know what twist was going to occur in their lives and be etched in their memories forever!

Zakhm dharti ke tan par hai kari

Zindagi pukarti hai…aao hum tum bhi milke pukarein…

It is just so horrifying to imagine the pain that those people have gone through! Though we know we cannot really feel the real pain that they go through. We can only understand it. Some of us are so lucky to be spending our lives in a clean environment, our families and we get everything we want! Though some of us may not even dare to think about the others suffering on the other side. I mean….have you ever wondered, you are living a very happy life today…in just a few seconds, you life turns into a mid crisis while you enter a world of misery where you have no more shelter to sleep in, you no more have your family and you are just craving for atleast a grain of bread to survive on! Isn’t it something so worth thinking about…atleast we are able to know what some people in this world are going through and we understand their feelings and really want to do something about it.

Kitne aankhon mein aansoo bhaarein hai..

Zindagi pukarti hai…aao hum tum bhi milke pukarein…

God created this earth. He created it so we all can get the feeling of life and live together happily. He expected a lot from humans because they are all known to be the most intelligent beings in the universe! Though now what is going on in the world….one cannot think about imagining. Creating one of the worlds most dangerous weapons rather than creating a circle of happiness and peace! Making war and not happiness. Usually that is why these destructions happen! Though….it happens to the good people first. While all the others are left behind to create more destruction for god to create more natural disasters. Know one knows what is going to happen to them or their families. That is the way of life..you go with the flow. It’s something you cannot say no to.

Dard ke maaron se aao keh dein…

Zindagi pukarti hai…aao hum tum bhi milke puakein…

Going away from just my general thoughts…and now coming to the actual Tsunami. It is in my thoughts that even now is your chance to donate something because some of us are just so lucky to be far away from all the horrible things happening to people on the other side. We are humans like those who have either not been able to survive this catastrophe or those who have still survived but have not gotten the chance to even have a good meal for once! It is our duty to help others because we are no different to them..there may be just one difference! We are not going through the pain and sorrow they are going through.

Try persuading your friends, family and others who you know! Heck even if you meet a stranger on the road! Tell them atleast to donate something!
