Remembering 26th December 2004
It feels like it’s been a long time, although it was only a year back that tragedy struck its most fatal blow. It was around this time, a year back, that the tsunamis hit the coasts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India, taking numerous lives and leaving behind devastation of leviathan magnitude. Tourist havens were transformed into graveyards in a matter of days. Never in the history of our country have the sea gods been so unkind. For those who haven’t yet witnessed it, here is a definitive picture resource @ the NatGeo website. Also there is the first hand account of the photographer himself.
Just a homage to the souls that departed, not only in the catastrophe but during the rescue operations that ensued. Also a salute to the selfless volunteers who made a beeline for the cause of rehabilitation. The resourceful “have”s could visit ReliefWeb’s website and see how they can help in the ongoing recovery work.
