11/04/2012 the day which no one will forget because this is the day which made people fear and run for lives. In the afternoon at about 1:40 i had completed my post in my blog and sat down to watch a movie in my mobile to while away time suddenly at around 2:15 felt someone was shaking my chair, i thought wanted to use the PC next to me so in order to let them in i moved my chair and continued with watching the movie,i was so engrossed in the movie that i failed to notice that there was no one next to me, after 2 Min's my chair again started to rock i thought one of my friend was playing a prank with me and put a pause to the movie and turned around to see but found no one, that i when i felt something was wrong. Then i removed my headsets and sat still suddenly my legs started to shake, i thought if i was getting a heart attack :p, seems silly but in such a situation we think all the wired thing on earth. Then my legs started to shake badly i turned around and saw people shouting its shaking common lets move. I composed myself not to fear and searched for my friend and found her no where. Then controlled all my fears and walked slowly towards the safe area. Then very moment we started walking we could hear the fire alarm ringing, i still could not believe that it was an earth quake. The entire office was down in the safe area all my friends where in utmost joy telling god is great we need not complete our EOD tasks and few friends telling there is frequent earthquakes and tsunami in the world i guess the world is going to end at 2012 and few others telling i want to move home immediately i want to see my beloved ones before i die and all sought of wired things.
I was just listening to what all were speaking and after sometime all where asked to move to their places. I started immediately from office and caught bus to go home. While travelling i could see people running and owing to the tsunami threat offices had left all the employees home. Seriously never had witnessed such a crowd in OMR at 3:30,all busses where crowded and there was a heavy traffic,adding to the situation the weather was burning hot yesterday. At one point of time felt tsunami was far better compared to this heat and traffic. After reaching home switched on the TV to see the news to get an update on the earthquake and tsunami, to my irritation i found one news channel putting a count down for the arrival of the tsunami, it was like welcoming the tsunami that was not going to come. People in marina beach were having charts which contained statements that they were ready to face tsunami with unity. I guess they thought tsunami was a student of oxford university as soon as it comes it will read the chart and go away. Got wild on seeing such people who were willing to do anything to come on tv and news channels encouraging them.
