Mud and soil would come down destroying the downstream settlements, no Noah’s arc would come to save these poor people whose needs are not even heeded by their government. Within minutes, thousands of people would lose their homes and the ensuing floods would surely kill thousands if not lakhs of people, not to speak of the threat of dangerous epidemics spreading.

Writing to me is therapy, it frightens and comforts at the same time. Liberates like nothing else.

I enjoy reading and music, spending time with family whilst battling my social awkwardness.
