the Incident
december 25, 2004 was one of my best ever Christmas. The day was the most expected one as we friends had decided to spend Christmas by grandeur that winter. The ideas behind the plans were to know another culture or religion’s delightful side. We started collecting more information on knowing the formalities of celebrating Christmas. The day started and went on well as planned. The colorful day had our house decorated with Christmas tree and yummy cakes made us all sniff. The later part of the day continued to be an overwhelming ecstasy owing to a prayer and a get together with our childhood friends. The end of the day was as usual anxious leaving a question to get back to bliss, as normal days where on the way. The day not only ended up to wilt but a plan of another outing for Besant beach the next morning made us exciting.
The next day started off with elation keeping up the expectations. We friends reached Besant beach as planned. Excitement crept up as the morning sea breeze made us glide and had drawn us further to the shore. Nature’s character was as usual aesthetic and pleasing but a sudden change made us devastating. We dint know it early as we friends were facing the other side of the shore. But the yell of the people made us understood that it was none other than the killer waves firing in. That second made a puff of swirl around me gossiping the name of God. Everyone including me was running hard to save our lives but destiny had spoke, washing out many. We continued to run for another 500 meters that actually saved our lives. It was none other than God’s will that had actually saved us. No one had ever imagined that these things would have happened the very next day of Christmas and none had expected the characteristics of nature to be this cruel that made us understand the horrific side of nature. It was mourning and crying everywhere that had actually made us numb, but looking our friends alive made us console. After getting back home, the television sets made us know that it has been the buzz around the whole world and the waves had run over so many lives. And when days went by it was nature back to normalcy with its innocent outlook, seeming to have done nothing. Then calm returned as if the dead night wanted to come alive but could manage only a shuddering breath.
Nature is said to be the only polite element that would tolerate severe hurts with lot of acceptations. These small hurts accumulate on them every time when created and bursts out into calamities when these hurts creep to the extremes ending up tolerance.
I felt bringing good relationship, peace and brotherhood in the society would be the only solution to solve these calamities.. and "Love is the only answer for many questions".
