Man it scared the hell out of us on the 16th floor of our office building .... i could see the plants on my desk shaking .... the building it self was shaking .... emergency evacuation realized how difficult it is to even walk down a busy emergency exit of a busy office building ..... it took at least 15 min to walk down..... people terrified we can see the scare on the face ....I salute the brave heart of Nepal who survived such a tragedy ......such incident indicate the uncertainty of life .... and question on the materialistic pleasure which we draw from gizmos & gadgets... Guess need some time to introspect .....
Such indication from nature in such short duration is sign of something unusual which could be hitting our civilization really hard .... & we might not be in a position to even react ....
