ANDHATV (The Blindness of Awareness)

The tremendous earthquake on January 26, 2001, wrecked Bhuj and was the deadliest disaster in the last 50 years. Its cataclysmic impact wreaked havoc over nearly the whole state. During this heartbreaking event, millions of homes were damaged, and great quantities of fatalities occurred.

Other areas in gujarat were also affected a bit. I was only a child at the time. Although it was an independent day celebration everywhere, on the other end, I was peacefully having my breakfast while watching my favorite cartoons (Mickey Mouse or something), when suddenly the power shut off. All of the national anthem songs that were playing in schools, high courts, and government offices became silent in an instant. A few minutes later, I heard my parents shouting for me. I had no idea what was going on, so I approached slowly toward where my mother was standing; suddenly, she grabbed my hands and raced outside the door. Later, I figured out what was happening.

Thankfully, my family and I were saved. However, the disaster in Bhuj has had a greater influence on me since. So I've always wanted to write about this experience somewhere.

I hope you like these small efforts. And I usually attempt to include some moral teachings that we often overlook in our hectic lives. I hope it addresses the issue well.

So basically, It is the tale of a man who was entirely captivated with wealth and success until an event that altered his life drastically. He was lucky enough to have all he wanted in life. However, a one incident in particular profoundly and totally transformed his life.

Enjoy reading everyone. 😇
