A Big Natural Disaster

-
This matter is from 15 December 1964 . When India identified the low pressure India being built in South Andaman. Which means the rain and storm were about to knock. Everything seems fine, nobody thought that the medium wind of 45 kilometre/ hour was going to take the shape of hurricane (storm) soon.

On December 21, the storm started moving towards the west. And this is the satellite imagery of the time,



which is showing a clear cloud forming in a radius of about 965 kilometre.

On 22nd December, a storm knocked over the northern tip in Ceylon( Sri Lanka), which had a speed of about 110 kilometre/hour. After hitting, the storm started moving towards north west and after that its speed was over 280 kilometre/ hour. In the evening of December 22nd Mr Sundar, who was the station master of dhanushkodi, reached home after finishing his duty.

Around 9:00 in the night, the weather became very bad due to the strong wind and water started entering people's houses. Nobody knew what was happening. Just a short distance from dhanushkodi railway station, train number 653 pamban dhanushkodi passenger train, was a daily train, used to take passengers from pamban to dhanushkodi. At 11:55 p.m. that night, this train had gone for ahead of pamban and was about to reach dhanushkodi when the speed of the storm suddenly increased.

Due to darkness and shutdown of signal system, the loco pilot had to stop the train far behind from dhanushkodi station. After waiting for a long time, the loco pilot drove the train forward without signal. The Waves were very high and the Waves swallowed the whole train in one go. Around 110 -200 people were swept away with waves.


The storm continued for hours and during that time more than thousand people lost their lives in dhanushkodi alone. It is said that it was a huge storm on the coast of India, whose sign is still seen in dhanushkodi, uprooted rail tracks, stations, houses.This all remind us the same story, that it was really a big natural disaster.

Indians call for boycott of Chinese goods after fatal border clashes. It seems easy to say that boycott Chinese product, but is this really easy to reduce trade with China? What you all readers say, can you easily boycott China? Can you boycott your Chinese phones, which some of you are using right now?      It seems easy my dear friend but actually its not. Because made in India products are not successful much that we start to export our products. Overall efforts are being made to reduce India-China trade but is it possible that we can do it? Because on one side everybody tweets on Twitter, Facebook etc. that boycott China and on the other side Chinese products like mobile phones are selling in minutes.

If I talk about a lower middle class family who have ...

Nowadays I hear a lot about suicide. I feel like this is a common disease going on in people. Is suicide the only way to avoid your problems? Can't we solve the problems in another way? My opinion is that the suicide never ends the problem, but ends the life, not only of your own but also some special people related to yourself. Everyone has problems in his life whether they are big or small. Everybody has to face them and also have to fight against them, because it is called life. There is no life without problems. These problems will either drop you a lift you up. It depends on you how you treat them. You have must heard this saying at some time or other -  " No one is born happy but everyone is born with the ability to create happiness. " Don't know how many cases of suicide comes everyday.
