On Saturday the 25th of April,2015 at 11:57 am, the 7.9 magnitude of earthquake made the whole nation terrified. At the very time we were traveling to Kathmandu from Delhi by bus and had reached Mungling by then. We felt the earth shaking very fiercely. It was a horrible moment. Our body functions stopped functioning. Two ladies by our side became unconscious. The moment was very fearful. We deeply felt the shock of earth quaking. That moment was horrible because that was the first moment for many of us there.
After sometime we heard that the earthquake devastated the prominent places of Kathmandu valley were devastated like Darahara, heritages at Basantapur, Bhaktapur. It was really hard to believe. We moved on from there. On the way to Naubise we witnessed another incident where a rock falling from the great height pierced the front shield of the Bolero car leaving the driver and two other a very serious head injury. It was really horrible. Saddened by all these incidents witnessing on the way we slowly reached Kalanki at around 6:00 pm.
On moving from Kalanki to Swayambhu, which was the final stoppage for the bus, we saw all the mess around. Devastation of massive earthquake we witnessed and our heart started weeping. That was the moment when everyone was in a rush to reach their home and so was I. Taking my two luggages I waited for the local bus but there was none. I called on taxi but it was charging very high price taking the bad advantage of the given situation where nothing was available.
But sometimes mind works in the right direction and gives the best idea to suit the given situation, so I left my two heavy luggages in the bus counter and left from there towards Babarmahal walking. On the way through Kalanki and Tripureshwor I saw many destruction and other damages caused by the massive earthquake. It was again a pain in the heart.
However, I reached Babarmahal safely and I along with my family members stayed outside the house for 4 days as a prevention from the possible return of the earthquake. It though returned many times but not with the same intensity as of the first time. Still today the aftershocks gives goosebumps.
Effects in the life of the people:
The massive earthquake very badly affected the lives of the local people here in Kathmandu valley and in places like Sindhupalchowk, Barpak in Gorkha, Nuwakot, etc. In Kathmandu valley many poorly constructed buildings were totally devastated. The most pathetic part of the earthquake is that it totally destroyed our historically important and our beloved Dharahara along with the heritages in Basantapur. Also the heritages in Bhaktapur Durbar Square are also destroyed. Many people died being buried in the rubble of Dharahara. Our historical Dharahara was turned into the rubble. We are really going to miss the Dharahara and other historically important heritages which were destroyed by the massive earthquake in Kathmandu.
The major damages were occurred in Sindhupalchowk district. More than 1000 houses were destroyed in Sindhupalchowk district only. Many lives were taken by the massive quake.
The effects of this earthquake is so huge that it would take us a little more time to recover all that are destroyed. But we will sure bounce back and the need of time is to stay strong.
Positive Perspective
We have the courage to face such a terrible situation with calmness and smile. We have shown our unity by showing our empathy and sympathy towards Nepal and Nepali people in hour of need. When we are united we can rebuild again and we can come in with new shape and features again.
We the youth will rebuild our nation again. Together we can.
In the effort of providing relief to the casaulties of earthquake, various organisations and groups have delivered a selfless service which is really impressive. Many foreign countries have donated the huge amount to the Nepal Earthquake relief which shows that Nepal is a country loved by many other countries. Our two immediate neighbours China and India contributed a lot in the relief campaigns, especially China. India also has shown deepest sympathy to us which we embrace. But Indian Media are just spreading fake news that's why we have to send them home #GohomeIndianMedia. However, people of India are nice and have shown their concern to us.
Finally,
Now it's upto us how we react to the given situation we are facing. Many people have died and many have been left homeless, which is really sad. But let's move positively and put hand in hand with each other. Let's get united and march forward to rebuild our homes, to rebuild our heritages. Now let's have a fresh start from the beginning. Let's help those in need. Leaving everything behind now is the time to build our nation, the country deserves our attention and it is giving us a call that it needs us. We should fulfill the need of our motherland. We the youth are the future of this nation, so at present let's get united to build and rebuild our beautiful country. Because alone we cannot do, but together we can.
We Love Nepal. जय नेपाल।
