To think that just a few months ago, under the scorching summer sun, we were cribbing about Drought in India. MahDrought was trending on social networks for quite a while with people debating and offering their intelligent opinions incessantly on failed policies, on irrigation scams , on water cuts, on a dry Holi ( oh yeah this was a BIG one).And now it's back to water- not paucity, but excess of it in Northern India, where, thousands of travelers and pilgrims are still stuck.
Kedarnath, a popular Indian pilgrimage stands astounded with the devastating breach of the holy Ganges into its interiors.The visuals- from Dehradun lower down to the upper reaches of the Ganges is shocking.
Floods (and other natural calamities) fling us back to the primal struggle for survival and reveal our absolute dependency,despite technology, on mammoth,yet mysterious forces...
Praying for them....and to think i was there less than 2 weeks ago...
