Sometimes Nature’s Miracle, Sometimes Nature’s Fury!!

Today, The world saw the nature’s fury at the worst of it. An Earthquake of unimaginable magnitude (Richter 9.0), hit the Sendai province of Japan. The whole world could see it Live within seconds of the massive destruction caused by the wrath of Nature on its Living Beings at the same time being visually available for all to see and mourn the death, but no one near the Choppers shooting it could perhaps think but once about the casualties that were taking place in front of their eyes as the Waves emerged out of the sea and started flooding the Northern part of the Nation completely.

Lasting for almost 14 hours since its inception, the news channels have been gaining amazing TRPs for the continued visuals and shit-talk about the work that was being said to be done by the authorities of the neighboring countries, regardless of anything to be seen happening on the same lines.

Earthquakes have not been very uncommon to Japan or for that matter to the Asian Continent, with the history of the more Volcanic Prone regions being more prevalent and more volatile under the Pacific Ocean for long; What needs to be remembered though is the strategy deployed by the nations over the years trying to reduce the number of Deaths that have been caused. But the numbers are more or less the same. New techniques like Earthquake meter, quake resistant steel buildings deployed to stand the tremors have worked beautifully for some nations but not always.  What remains to be seen is how far does this go in undermining our conscience as to the factors that primarily cause this. Do we realize the global warming, toxic deposition and various other malice that are constantly the part of this brigade?

It is not just the after measures that everyone needs to work up on. There are things bigger than this, which even the video shows with the black and dirty water flowing in as well the waste it is carrying in the above video, that needs to be taken care of first, before there can be a condemnation from nations for this nature’s act of vengeance in anyone’s land. Although, Japan still stands as an epitome in terms of various acts of cleanliness, surely there is something missing out here from the other sides of the world which finally finds its way into a home of any individual devastating it uncertain of repairs or assurance of life for anyone. Today its Japan; tomorrow it could be any other part of the world.

2012 has always been a controversy. Its only up to us if we want to see it happen live in our eyes or start today so that we don’t stand watching as it deepens further only to blame ourselves in the end for the wastelands we created in our surroundings and disregarding it at all times. Think about it!!
