Hi all my readers, I am writing this story from Ålesund, Norway . I was hoping for the good weekend as always. But this weekend turns out to devastating and will remain in my memory until I die.It was around 830 am . I was awake from friends message. Initially I ignored my cellphone to check mobile. But mobile was continuously vibrating and thought to look at the message.My friend sent me message “There was a huge earthquake in Nepal”. Instantly I check Facebook and wall was flooded with this news. Everyone is updating status and pictures with message “ Pray for Nepal”.For the first minute I was speechless.Pray for Nepal Scenario 1: I am very worried from this news. For 30 minutes I was trying to contact my family to know their status. No One was picking the phone and the level of stressed was very high. Finally I was able to contact with Nephew Sister. Tears began to fall which I didn’t think about. She said she is fine and I asked about her kids and husband. She said she was in farm and kids and husband are home. Telephone was also not working properly. So she told that she couldnot contact with them and was not able to go home also due to continuous earthquake. My Nephew house is very typical old house made with mud and old bricks. Most of the house which are very old are of those type. Only new houses are made with cemented. I can imagine what could be insider her mind at that moment. I control myself and told her to stay in safe place and hang up call.
