This is the road in front of my home. Water-logging and flooding have become a way of life.

The Gods are crying. And they are crying so much that the rivers, and seas are overflowing. Not only the rivers and the seas are overflowing, so are the streams and the drains.

We cried a few days ago that the water-table is going down, that the water is scarce and the situation is drought- like.

And in the next moment, Gods answered our lament... They gave us water- so much that everything is going under.

The Gandak, and the and the Yamuna, too have begun to flow near danger mark. Many have lost their lives and many are now homeless with the waters rising alarmingly.

Nature is furious. She is shaking herself lose. The earthquakes and the deluges are only the early reminders- warnings of sort- to help us decide. We can follow the path that our ancestors followed- respect Life and the source of Life, or choose the path we are on now... and move closer to perishing.

Illness, and natural calamity are a visiting- Are we going to succumb? Or will we survive?
