Nepal, ....Nepal, ......Nepal !!
Nay Pal ! Nay.... Nay !!  This is not happening!
It is time for Disaster Management concept to be reviewed by India.
Post Disaster Management appears pink in all eyes. But all theory is there about Preventive approaches under the chapters of Disaster Management in India - preparedness, mitigation, etc., etc..
Nature is best understood if pre-planned and compatible ways of living with nature are instilled among people anywhere in the world.

It is unfortunate that the trained sleuths in Disaster Management have the instincts to take that extra bit of pleasure in dealing with post-disaster situations. The same skilled ones shall be further trained to look out for instilling among people, the mitigation and preparedness efforts - indeed a long term practice, but really paying in the end.

Relief, post-trauma care (thanks to NIMHANS, Bengaluru) and rehabilitation are OK. But nothing like mitigation measures and better preparedness. Thus the soaring figures in headlines of dailies at these times could be mitigated too!  If 'Make hay while the Sun shines' is an adage applicable during peace time, what about the pain time?!

I'm at least, Nay! atleast optimistic of Indian body of National Disaster Management groups will gear up much more in preventive mechanisms ..... :) Not of the earthquake, but of the life-losses.

REAL LIFE IS WHEN ONCE YOU MOVE OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

How True! How True!  It's my personal experience in the recent past.  My deeds got the power, money and work hands full.  Along with them came lots of love from family, friends, my darling students and the ever great alumni. 

But when it changed as it does when you mature for better, it was a big decision indeed.  Quitting Surana Educational Institutions is not a cool choice, especially after being the Principal of it.  But, it was time to move on...... particularly after the sense of achievement that came as a booty but not surprisingly. The Top CGPA grade for the Institution of 3.44 out of 4 for that season in the entire country's nearly 155 colleges accredited then was a standing testimony for itself.

It is both a personal achievement as well as that of the Institution's.  But time brings in unpalatable elements harking upon power with banal instincts of jealously, leading to virtual heresy.

None to blame, it was happy time to move on, gain and gather new energies, spiritual or otherwise, make new friends, revere the old and savor the attached.  Seeing kids grow and spouse growing that bit sensible and also sensual, what more for a man to sleep over the past laurels for a while and take stock of energies to rise as a Phoenix!

Await enthrallment soon in the next rest,
