..... of our vulnerability against the forces of nature. The world (the media, really) is starting to forget the tsunami of December 2005, the politicizing of the effects of hurricane Rita and Katrina and we start to have our lives back to some "normality" again. The media has started to show regular programs again. Suddenly, Pakistan gets hit by a powerful earthquake on and tens of thousands of people have been killed and possibly more. Rescue efforts struggle their way to the remote areas high-up in the mountains to provide aid and relief to the injured and homeless.
Let's take a moment to our prayers thoughts to the people who have suffered and those who are continuing to suffer- until helps gets to them. Our hearts goes out to those in pain.
Let's also continue to remind ourselves and our children that the forces of nature cannot be matched by human's intelligence, strength and force - there is still much to learn and to appreciate our place and space in this universe of ours.
Peace,
K V
