The Tragedy of Wayanad

-

 

The first article I came across today was in the "Metro Plus" section, and I initially planned to write my blog post about something related to food. However, my thoughts changed as soon as I turned to the front page and saw the news that had shattered the entire nation over the past two days. I don't normally take much interest in listening to the news but yesterday, while browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon a documentary about the landslide in Wayanad. Watching that video made me realize the severity of this disaster. Looking at the current situation there today, it's truly heart-wrenching. Nearly 200 people are missing, hundreds are injured, and many have lost their lives. Thinking about them makes my eyes moist; people are losing their loved ones, and some, don't even know if their family members are alive. The fact that it's still raining is making it even more challenging for the rescue efforts.

Amidst all this, there's a back-and-forth between central and state ministers, with each side blaming the other. In my opinion, now is not the time for blaming each other. There are lives at stake, and the focus should be on saving people rather than playing the blame game. While it's true that a warning was issued to the state seven days ago, and the state government should have been more cautious, right now, the priority should be on rescue and relief efforts. The changing weather conditions are making the situation even more difficult.

It's devastating to learn that Wayanad ranks fifth on the ISRO landslide atlas. All we can do is pray for Kerala and the strength of its people. Let's pray for the safety of those affected and hope that there are no more natural disasters that threaten the lives of people.

The plan to get clear

  It all started with a plan of my dad telling me to visit certain places to get an idea of the routes so we planned to take a bus to Broadway it was around 2 pm on Friday after the classes got over I came to the bus stop to take a bus to broadway then within minutes there came a bus uncrowded and spacious and I got a seat near conductor so that if I had to get down in between I can tell him. It started with a calm and sunny nature, My dad instructed me not to doze off while sitting because the significant reason for me going there was to get the routes clear but there I sat near the window with heat waves passing through my skin and melodious music flowing in my ears if the breeze was an chill breeze then I might fall asleep as soon as I took the ticket. After Kotturpuram, I got confused as the routes looked similar, and it was one way, so I couldn't memorize the routes even while I going back. I looked kinda dull but the next stopping after presidency college brought a smile to m...

SLEEP

So let me start the blog with a valid question, How many hours will you spend for sleeping in a day?..... My sleeping hours got reduced in the past 3 months I would sleep for 5 hours a day whereas a human has to sleep at least for 8 hours is the doctor's prescription. But you guys, never think of me as a spirited or bustling person those words never suit me. Sleep is a wonderful activity for active beings, by sleeping your anger can go down, and can be relieved from unwanted stress and overthinking, and it will even boost your mental energy. Moreover, you can escape from reality for a while, which means when you wake up from sleep you'll have the confidence to encounter and conquer the battle with which you have been struggling for days. And I have heard people saying those who sleep a lot are sluggish humans, Does it even make any sense?.... Everyone knows how important sleep is, in an individual's life. After a long tiring day even if I get a 10-minute nap that would be s...

The contrast between Little Women and Pride and Prejudice  The novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott was set during the American Civil War around the 1860s. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was set around 1811. Both novels present the social expectations of women, love between classes, the unbreakable bond between sisters, family, struggles, and social norms...these were common in both novels but appear different according to their society. Little Women revolves around the life of the March family, where Mr & Mrs March is very concerned about their children but never forces them to do anything. They never conclude any situation with society's norms, but they did care about their children's concerns regarding that particular opinion. Mrs. March supports Jo in her decision to confess to Laurie as her mother knows that Jo has pure love towards Laurie, but they don't know that he is already engaged to her younger sister. Mrs. March also supports and encourages Jo for he...
