August 5 was a fateful day for the people of Leh and Laddakh.Our planet has seen many devastating act of nature in past and this time around also it was no lesser than any previous calamities.The innocent and ignorant people of a beautiful place were suddenly found under the menacing cloud burst rallying against the mud , fighting for the life and hoping for merciful god's magic.But so called god was deaf and dumb as usual.Perhaps he was enjoying the heartening cries of babies , ladies and their bread winners.There were many labuor migrants from poor families of Bihar and Jharkhand.Many homes were washed away .Many cars , bikes and even heavy trucks were found in wrecked conditions as if they were hit by a bullet train.Sometimes I tend to believe in the concept of water universe that there is nothing but water.Water is the cause of everything.
I wonder many times that how could these beautiful looking clouds could be merciless killers!!! Such beautiful shape they make in the sky!!!Such beautiful they look like when it rains during Monsoon.How could the cloud got so emotional that it bursts into tears and took lots of lives.By and large we human are responsible for all these irregularities in our climatic response.What we feed into the nature , will be bounced back to us and that's what is happening all around the world.Be it Catrina , be it Tsunami , Be it floods all around or be it cloud bursts.We must realize that we are cutting those branches on which we all are sitting.
We organize Copen-Hagen but our regional greed overcome the human survival questions.How pity is this that we tend to do politics over our own existence?We tend to do politics over our nexG future?At least for our survival's sake countries must be singing in the same tune.
Days are not far when we will cut our heads with our own swords.
At the end of the day it's us who make this whole planet so beautiful.So , why cant we give the same beautiful and pollution free nature to our kids?
