“The 6.8 tremour on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011 is a reminder that
this precious life is unpredictable. For those who have not invested in the
next life, it's a warning that the time to prepare for the next life is NOW!
There's no opportune time for being a good human being. When one breathes his

teachers on his notes on facebook.
Many
are still trying to get adapted to the aftershock of the incident. And some says
that it did them good and they are becoming better human beings. Some of my
friends feel that we all need this constant reminder that we are not made of
steel and there are also some who finds humour even in the crises. A friend
called and said “ I got a missed call from Choejay Gyalpo” and I couldn’t help
laughing but on a serious note she also said that she suddenly remembered some
prayers she said some two decades ago - Sounds ironic but it’s true.
The
tremour to me was a rude awakening. It made me realize how fragile we are. How
much ever we advance in science and technology, we cannot withstand the fury of
nature. The only thing we can do is to be geared up to endure the consequences
of our own blunder, learn from the previous mistakes and be a little more
humane towards others.
