A moment to regret...

(Well this is the same blogpost that i have posted on touchbase.wordpress.com.. if you had not read it, then carry on..)

Money was flying everywhere but no one was there to take it.. Why wat hpnd???

More than a 100 children were born in car park.. Why, what were the hospitals doing??

A 5yr old kid salutes a soldier with his right hand, when his left hand was profusely bleeding.. Why did he do so when his own life was at peril???

A beggar who earns jus 5 yuans(currency) a day, suddenly earns 100 yuans and immeditely goes to a bank and converts it into a single renminbi(currency) note.. Why could he not wait???

On a place were technology is at its highest, people walked for 21hrs to cover a few kms.. Why wat was the problem actually there?

A mother, who has jus given birth to a beautiful girl, saves a message in her cell “If ur alive jus remember that ur Mommy always loves you”.. Why was she so afraid???

Blood banks could not accomodate ppl coming to donate their blood.. Hey wait, is there somethin seriously wrong????????

Hmmm.. Well it was..

Monday, May 12, 2008, started as a fresh new day of the week for “Chin Chui” in China.. He had so many plans for the week ahead and was very optimistic abt it.. He was happily playing with his friends when the earth shook.. It was common in that part of the region and he went to hide under the roof, thinking that the sky is goin to fall.. The tremors dint stop for a while and in a few sec the streets were flooded with millions of ppl and there was total pandemonium. Chin Chui was scared to come out although he was advised by his parents that he should not stand under roofs when he feels the earth shaking. He never obeyed his parents, so he dint care much abt this too.. He was happy to hide.. That was when the roof crashed and the total weight landed on his left hand which sadly happened to be his writing hand.. He cried in excruciating pain.. he was shouting at the top of his voice but barely heard by the people as the sound was larger outside. In a few seconds everything was over and in a few hours the emergency crew began to pull up the rubbles.. Chin Chui was lying unconscious and he was pulled out for oxygen.. He lost his left hand and except for a few scratches, he was safe.. He was left out in the open to search for his parents.. Jus as everybody else..

He cried and roamed when he found an Army man who had come to help people there. He had always a huge respect for the Army and made a royal salute to the soldier, who returned the same with smile and tears..

Similar was the case with “Ju Chavo”, a beggar who immediately went to a bank to change the 100 yuans to a single note.. He dint want the “monetary fund” to delay in counting his money when many lives required immediate attention.

The mother who just gave birth was breast feeding her kid for the first time.. hmmm rather for one last time.. She conveyed her msg to her kid in a cell phone and died before being admitted to a hospital.

These gory scenes were the order of the day when a terror quake measuring 7.9 on the richter scale struck Sichuan Province, South-West China.. About 69,500 ppl lost their lives and 21,000 have gone missing..

The search for life still continues.. Hope is still there
