salam ppl....i am writing in this forum after a very long time i guess!!! .....khair...went to Mansehra where we pitched our base camp at Doraha.......we ventured to Balakot, Ogi, Batagram etc........and Balakot and Batagram were total flat lands where we had to pitch tents in which we had to accomodate four families per tent...due to extreme shortage.........i did try my best.....but there are so many villages and towns which we couldnt reach not beacuase they were inaccessible.....but because we would run out of supplies when we reach them......rastay main itnee tabahi huwi hai!!....u have to be there to see it to believe it!!.....watching it on TV is something.....being over there is something else....so many times i would sit in the base camp in a secluded spot and cry over what i saw.........there were two 5 year old girls...so cute one had an amputated leg and the other had a fractured arm....both were orphans now ....nothing was what it seemed........such a beautiful place.......a paradise in ruins!!.....Gods anger on all our sins has fallen on a select few who were unlucky to be in the path of His wrath..just a 15 second earth shake has killed 80000 and destroyed families forever!!.....and look at us.....i have come a changed man!!.....what will all of u learn........that little girl taught me one thing in her smile....after every disaster...the sun comes out....there is a new day and a dawn to a new life...which makes us human to come out fighting and live life as God intends us to live!!
