Hello World

All things begin with "Hello World". The rule of Nature is to go from Simple to Complex. So is my blog ..
Starting from Hello World to Bye-Bye World.
Life is too short to do all the things you want to. I realized its shortness from the latest Japan Earthquake.
I was in Tokyo when the 9.0 M quake roared out of the earths crust underneath the ocean. This one quake created a chain of events, unpredicted, the results of which were far devastating to conjure up in a split of time.

Safety Precaution
Japanese Work Dedication (JWD)..Salute to JWD... The building was literally shaking..window curtains also making a krrr krrr noise..but still our lecture continues. How can one be able to concentrate when everything is moving around you? It was a normal thing to these people. For me it was the first time in my life. I was just shocked. "Faat gayi thi". When the vibration become strong enough to make our teachers realize that it was indeed a powerful wave, we quickly hid beneath the table. In this situation my friend Amol asks me to take a pic.

I don't know the technical aspect but there were horizontal waves as well as vertical waves. The horizontal waves were just moving the things left and right. So the worrying factor for me was the swaying of things. But on the other side the vertical waves don't move the things. Here the worrying factor was the feeling. You can directly feel the peaks and the valleys of the vertical wave. The worry generated by the vertical wave is many times higher than the horizontal wave. The swaying created by the horizontal wave made two LCD screens to fall, after which all LCD were kept in a lying position.

Just after the Earthquake a fire broke out on some building which can be seen from our office. 

Just after earthquake--> Fire
After 10 min. Fire extinguished

Quickly the emergency helicopters came and extinguished the fire in almost 10 minutes. Can you believe it ? After 10 minutes the area around building was totally cleared that there were no traces of any smoke as if nothing happened.
The trains were stopped temporarily for safety purpose. So people started buying bicycles to go home. This one is a pic of nearest shop, where in there was a long queue for bicycles.

Bicycles Stock out
Food Shortage








These were the things which happened on that day ...The part after that will be put in next blog ...
