I'm sitting in my office...though this is far from a normal day...Aila has hit Calcutta some 3 hrs ago and is creating havoc here...more so in the vilalges of south 24 parganas...mud houses are breaking, roofs can be seen flying in the wind, 4 people have already died and the news channels are saying that things will worsen as the day progresses...one of my craftsmen has already lost his home's roof and a part of his work-shop's roof... :( :(
As I look out of my office window, I can see felled trees and empty roads...news sites are saying that around 200 houses have been damaged in the districts...so many people would have lost whatever they had today...May God give them the strength and opportunity to regain whatever they have lost soon...
Am worried about my staff...some of them travel around 1.5-2 hours to reach home from office...I can't send them home and don't want them to stay here either...its not safe here as it is, they might as well be near their family members...but then, the office is probably safer than their home...
The news channels have just reported that banks near Canning have started to flood and various mud embankments have been broken...hmmm....Will it flood in cal this time? Keeping my fingers crossed...
