blogging after a haitus of a yr and half - tragedies 2008

i read bout the sichuan earthquake tragedy the other day. it was on 12th may 2008 and registered 7.9 on the richter scale. and jus a few weeks before the earthquake, mynmar was hit by a cyclone which left 100,000s dead. after reading reports of such tragedies, i feel very upset and kind of empty. i feel very fortunate to be alive and breathing and i took some time to reflect on how fortunate i am to be alive and such tragedies didn't impact me directly. but my heart went out to the parents who lost their sons and daughters, to the husbands who lost their wives and vice versa. i felt almost a physical pain when i read reports of the rescuers digging up body after body, and in a report of a kindergarden which lost 50+ kids, they didnt even have enuf cloth to cover the bodies of the little children. a cloth merchant went to her own shop and got cloth to cover them, to give them the last dignity. i feel very lost now and i tink, suddenly, all those "problems" which i tot were problems, suddenly they seem so minute when compared to the tings other ppl face.

'nuff said. let me continue to be upset. and oh. try starting on my work.
