epicenter -BHACHAU ( kacch-bhuj)
today when i read news on newspaper that nicobar got affected with an earthquake it reminded me my experience of earthquake its been 10 years for that crisis but the effect of that incident is still in my mind though i was too young at that time but can't forget that day as you all know many ppl lost their lives and their relatives,their houses ,assets everything in this crisis as it was first and strongest earthquake in gujarat ,fortunately we lost nothing in it GOD IS REALLY VERY KIND as we r only away 214 to 225 km from epicentre and we all were safe as you know ahmedabad also god effected which is around 350 to 400 km away from kacch bhuj( my geography is poor in it 😆 )and all know abt MANSHI FLATS OF AHMEDABAD god give those peace who lost their life in this crisis and in that flat 😠as some proved lucky or some proved unlucky in this earthquake having on 26 th january as most of the young students were in schools for pared of republic day and on the ground which was totally safe place but as it was morning ppl were also engaged with their everyday's schedule and also government holiday so some r taking advantage of holiday with their sleep
as if i share my views abt this earthquake gosh it was freaking never thought in my life we have to face this crisis as we can't predict our future and we can't fight with nature as well, on morning we returned back from pared and heard voice of blast 😲 fist we thought it was army tank's sound as it was 26 th jan they used to blast for victory of republic day but then suddenly glasses of window started trembling and then all land started trembling 😠i have no words how to describe it we all were numb how to react on that but suddenly my aunty and mom got it that its an earthquake and said that we have to go out of home it will be safe for us and we all did in my life first time we saw our dancing house 😠😆 trembling house all trees were shaking here and there and animal's shirks were just like hell 😠after some min earthquake stopped we all had no any sense what to do first as all phone lines were distrubed and only on tv all news channel's were covering this crisis's live reports 😠and for the one week we have to take shelter out of our house as we every day got after shocks once and twice in a day second day on 27 jan , on 6 a.m there was other biggest after shock which frightened me up again as land was so hot inside in the time of winter and we can feel it by touching land and for one week we all children got sleep in cars as our parents wanted us to be at safe place and at that time only cars r safe place for us
we didn't step in our house for one week and after this earthquake 2 and 3 months were so hard that whenever we got to sleep we pray for god that please we don't want after shocks as for 2 and 3 months we got after shocks everyday 😠then years passed and we sometimes again aftershocks happen to made us alert that you can't do anything infront of nature you have to face and now we all r used to it 😆 😆
it was hard phase and i am really thankful to god, from this incident i start believing in god of course i was in past as well but with mom and dad's instruction i followed but now with that experience i totally believe in god he is almighty and always gives me strength for everything , this experience made me more closer to my parents and my family, and i came to know what is called reality ya to watch such a news in tv and read in newspaper is very formal to us but to experience it is really very hard
one more thing guys please i open this topic only and only share my views so no CONSOLATION HERE 😆 only share your experience if u also face such a crisis , its life and anything can be happened and i believe in present and future ,ya i remember past only to learn a lesson from my mistakes and from such a incident
