Under the Beautiful Clouds!!

August 5 was a fateful day for the people of Leh and Laddakh.This planet has seen many devastating act of nature in past. And this time around also it was not less 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 this time.Perhaps he was enjoying the heartening cries of babies , ladies and their bred winners.There were many labor 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.Such was the power of water waves.Sometimes i tend to believe in the concept of water universe.There is nothing but water.Water is the cause of everything.

I wonder many times 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 normally.How could the cloud got so emotional that it bursts into tears and took lots of lives with it.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 thats 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 what speed are we cutting our branches on which we all human are sitting?

We organize Copen-hagun but our regional greeds overcome the human survival questions.How pitty is this that we tend to do politics over our own existence.We tend to do politics over our nexG future?Atleast for our survival's sake countries must be singing in the same tune.

Days are not far when we ll cut our heads with our own swords.

At the end of the day it's us who makes this whole planet so beautiful.So , why cant we give the same beautiful and pollution free nature to our kids?
