Life goes on but what a loss.(thanks Ramya) I was in Bhuj after the quake. We passed through village after village and saw not a single structure standing. It was devastation on a scale I've never seen before. One of my friend said that it was like a curse. If you were a believer that is a succint description of the carnage.

I am sure Bhuj people have recovered. I saw how resourceful they were.

This is also the day India was constituted and came into existence as a soverign secular socialist democratic republic nation. Have a thoughtful day.
