Tsunami

Tsunami was a bad word around this time last year. Beach was a scary place. It was dreaded. A year later I was at the same Marina beach. I wondered as I was walking from the main road to the beach, a year earlier the sea visited the city instead of the city visiting the sea. It took a lot of people along with it though. The scene on the beach front was no different and there was no sign of any reminders to the year old tragedy. I visited a lady who was selling corn on the beach side and wanted to buy a corn. Struck a conversation with her and she felt that nature was playing a cheat here. The recent rains had no visitors to the beach hence no business and when there are visitors the corn supply had gone bad. Still her spirit to serve was no less she had a beaming smile soon after she said this and I realised something, come what may we worship mother nature in our nation. Nature may take many human lives but it took what it wanted. It took what it gave.
