Just a thought- The UttaraKhand STORY!!!

My latest today.Do check out...

Ok here it is. I thought of speaking on the topic that has recently haunted life on the northern parts of the country and we all have heard the heart-wrenching trauma stories (and in several versions). The news is still doing the rounds of the headliners and people are still not safe. And in this condition when much is talked about a topic, I prefer not to shed anything on the topic since everyone seems to have a preconceived notion on the topic. BUT.. I thought of sharing something that is wriggling inside...hope you don't mind (as if I give a ...)

First of all I would like to place my condolences and deep regret for the families lost and wounded. No amount of financial support can compensate the fact that one of the beloved is absent and the trauma is going to be a dear old shit scarring the mind of the old and younger together; and this should have not happened. Not on the visit to a deity. Right? Belief? Confidence? Myth? God knows (Well he/she/others knows better.)[What?!! Are you thinking why did I provide the 'others' as an option.. Who knows guyzz..Who knows..ANYWAYS]

Also the real people who were there at such a crisis not by choice of touring but by choice of duty do demand a great deal of kudos and cheers. Really the CRPF and the jawans do deserve a great deal of applause and the families of the lost jawans need recognition and a stable source of income and not a one-time staple of fortune that's ore of a bait to shut up when the politics play free...But again who amI to say..

My main objective to open my thoughts are altogether a different story doing the rounds of the newspapers these days; and though they are notthe first page earners still not something you can ignore (Especially me who starts the paper from the comics section..Weirdo) So the news is that the flood has been caused by (hold it...) not by natural calamity but the rage of the god. That hundreds of people died and a lot more of houses collapsed was because of displacing of theidol. I mean who would have thought God hated his/her new apartment(?!!)

Now the real story; very few people know that at that time 90 hydro-electric projects were going on.Don't you think that affects such a chronic flood-prone zone like UttarKhand; also pilgrims were not regulated nor the pilgrimage bussiness that caused several illegal structures to sprung up without taking the heed of the municipal regulation or the Indian Standard rules into consideration.Actually I think no such measures were to taken to check the soil profile or neither the Bearing Pressure of the soil permitted such structures.I hope that we stop believing bull-shit and start thinking whether that all mess  has a black hand of mankind.

Maybe it's high time we stop blaming god for everything and start seeing the loop holes in the management and men who mattered. And most importantly the awareness among the people and proper planning instead of some crappy old myths should rule the sites that many lives flock yearly.Precious lives.Lives too costly to be lost..

Just telling.
