In the mind of a tsunami victim

Updated On: 24 March, 2011 09:23 AM IST | Promita Mukherjee

There are times when loneliness creeps into your mind and soul and makes you numb. There are times when you feel that the world has come to a standstill.

Dear life,
There are times when loneliness creeps into your mind and soul and makes you numb. There are times when you feel that the world has come to a standstill. There are times when you feel that the rest of the world is rushing away from you, and you are left behind in a maze, with nothing to look forward to.

You cry, you go blue, you go into a bout of depression. But life moves on at its own pace, taking you along with it, it's almost like a whirlwind, taking care of you. Just like that giant wave did to people around me.
I watched them flee, I watched them struggle and then succumb, I watched them die...

There are times when you want to laugh out loud. There are times when you want to dance, and make the world around you dance along with you, not to your tune, but to the melody of joy. There are times when you want to sing out loud, no matter whether you have a dulcet voice.

There are times when you feel like saying 'I love you my life, you are the one and only gift.' That is what I felt when I beat that wave, finally....I watched my house drown, I watched the swirling water take away all my material possessions. But I am no Material Girl.....
