Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Good Day Brothers and Sisters, Its Thursday, 23rd October 2008 Last month early morning about 3 am, I was tossing in my bed (not getting sleep), when the bed suddenly tossed me back ... What the ??? I lay still and again .. ever so slightly now ... There, I caught it .. I jumped out and slammed the lights on ... Nothing .. And no one at home it seems had felt it too The news carried it though .. tremors in the Koyna Dam region causing after shocks as far away as Mumbai ... (Why no mention of Thane ... I felt it .. honest .. ) Anyway, this is the 4th time I think, I have felt actual tremors of an earthquake and I can tell you .. its frightening .. The momentary loss of control (and its a complete loss.. not a partial loss but a complete loss) that shakes one up ... Your mortality stares you in the face and everything becomes trivial .. all the fights, the arguments, the petty stuff that we fill our lives with .. in a matter of a few seconds, they all lose their importance .. Believe me, its a humbling experience if there is ever one .. It always pisses me off that why do we require to stare mortal fear in the face to realise the importance of what we have in Life ... Why cannot we just use our sense of common logic and reason to arrive at such a conclusion, accept it and improve our lives comfortably ..?? Why do we need the earth to shake to prioritise our Lives and infuse it with what is important to us ....?? Earthquakes and preparing for it should be something we should all be aware of And please, do not take this to mean that just because we are preparing for it, so we are inviting it .... Given the times we live in, being prepared allows us to relax in the knowledge that all that was humanly possible has been done from our side and therefore now we can enjoy Life without any feeling of guilt ... That is the first and cardinal purpose of being prepared A shaking of hands with our conscience and co-operating with it ... Hey, Have any of you checked out my blog ??
