When people ask me how'z life going? I reply 'usual routine' but what if that routine gets disturbed? As most of us, get to know a value of person when we loose or when we are far from them same is the value of daily life. Sometime we whine thinking about routine boring life but can you even imagine what will be up when this gets off. Every time a natural disaster happen I feel the importance of routine life. this time again nature has reminded me in fact all of us how fragile our lives are in front of a wild nature. While one can enjoy nature to fullest, one can rest in its shadow, one can survive by its mere warmth but can also be unfortunate to see its wild and harshness.
Japan, the country which stands as an ideal to people around the world, reason be it's recovery after dreadful nuclear bomb attack, it's one of major economy power, it's enormous contribution to science and technology list goes on and on. Its unfortunate to see today its engulfed by the most devastating earthquakes and tsunami. Seeing the videos of the these calamities make my pulse raise. Thousands of people have lost their life and many more homeless. Being located in pacific ring of fire its prone to earthquakes but magnitude of 9.0 shook the entire nation and in turn the world. Japanese preparedness, be it strict building rules or efficient early warning system have no doubt saved life's as much as possible but to confront frantic wild nature its practically impossible. Aftermath is worse to face, people deprived of basic needs their plight is unimaginable.
Above all these concerns stands high, possible meltdown of nuclear power plant. This part is what stuck me I literally screamed, this one is man made. I was alarmed seeing the number of countries having nuclear plants. I found out by reading only France and Japan use it most efficiently to generate electricity but rest of countries don't see it contributing much in electricity, might be of use for other purpose but is it really needed or is it mere pride for a nation to have one, it doesn't stop at having just one though. Man is always is eager to invent new things without thinking about its impact, one such invention is nuclear power. What happened in Japan will surely be forgotten as mere accident as we have forgotten Chernobyl incident or any other but it keeps ticking at the back of mind, its us who created the problem and its us who have to face it, this fact is reminded to all of us as each of these unfortunate accident happen. Science has two faces, good or bad its left to us to apply and use the way we want but also be ready to face consequences accordingly.
So Life isn't naturally fragile, its man who has made it so. In verge of making life more and more simple for today we are making it complicated for tomorrow, today and tomorrow in scale of years. Amidst all these I relish now to have routine life, as each day passes I realize and thank God I had usual routine day and pray for routine life's of people of Japan.
