I had been meaning to write about the victims and survivors of the Nepal earthquake for a long time but my heart couldn't let me express what all I wanted to say. What can you say for a tragedy that is of natural occurrence and man has not played any role in its occurrence. Thousands lost their lives in Nepal and in India, millions effected by loss. Millions lost their homes, schools, hospitals. Children orphaned, villages destroyed. Yes, foreign aid started pouring but of course, the dead can't come back. And then there are the stories of miraculous survival after days of being buried under the rubble. All we can do is to say a little prayer for the dead and the living. May the hearts mend and the wounds heal. May the memories be less painful. May they overcome their fears, their anguish, their traumas. May they find peace in life and in death.
