As more disturbing news reach us about the colossal loss and human suffering in Nepal, there is an unanswered question about the causation of earthquake. The geologists explained it as earth's way of releasing its energy!
It was during the morning walk today, I noticed that this banana bunch was hanging because the stem caved in due to its weight. There was no external support given to the stem to support the weight of the banana bunch which would probably weigh about 10 kilograms.
The earth is our place of habitation and we have several natural calamities that compromise our wellness.
It looks like that there is transitoriness to all that make our lives comfortable. When the hundreds in Kathmandu valley would live in tents for months before they can have their house restored, we would witness the human resilience which a unique mark of humans.
It is the time when an external support is most needed for our fellow beings in Nepal. Otherwise the weight of their own burdens would weigh them down and cripple their recovery. We in India are their immediate physical neighbours- we can become their emotional neighbours through our acts of kindness!
