Today’s Earthquake Shook Khurki’s Heart and Soul…

I have heard about it and also seen a lot of the damage it leaves behind. But well, what I didn’t realize was that experiencing it for the first time can actually make you a changed person.

Today’s earthquake shook me…inside out!

Today, on 26th October 2015, I have a confession to make. “I confess that I was scared. I was feeling like a tiny particle in the universe who had no control over what was happening. I felt that love, emotions, feelings, work, job, money, fame and everything else would not help me if nature gets angry. I confess that my heart was beating fast.. trembling with fear – what if? What if the bricks of my house topple over the ones who are close to my heart? Would I still be proud of the posh locality that I am residing in? What if today the roads crack and I’m pulled into the depths of Earth? Would anyone be able to even do my last rites? What if today was my last day alive? Would I be happy that I’ve done it all? I confess – I was scared”…

I was teary eyed while writing what I just experienced..!! Not sure about how many of you readers felt the same way, but today I could feel the grief of those who had lost their families to the deadly deeds of nature.

During and quite sometime after the earthquake, all the phone lines were jammed but the social networking sites were flooded with updates..

The earthquake hit North India with a 7.7 magnitude with its epicentre in Afghanistan..!!

The US Geological Survey reported that the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.5. It struck at 09:09:32.70 UTC near the cities of:

45km (28mi) N of `Alaqahdari-ye Kiran wa Munjan, Afghanistan
48km (30mi) SSW of Jarm, Afghanistan
76km (47mi) S of Fayzabad, Afghanistan
77km (48mi) WSW of Ashkasham, Afghanistan
254km (158mi) NNE of Kabul, Afghanistan

In the Pakistani capital, walls swayed back and forth and people poured out of office buildings in panic, reciting verses from the Quran.

Here are some of the videos people uploaded right after the tremors calmed down:

I sincerely hope, everyone around you is okay and healthy.. Stay blessed..!!

KHURKI is a character who's sarcastic by birth and has sarcasm running in its veins in place of blood. Its bitter-sour tongue gives it the edge!
