How often are people brought out of their deep slumber by bed acting as an alarm clock....confused?? Well thats just what happened to me today and before you start thinking that I may be out of my mind or anything lemme just tell you that its wasn't a magic but the earthquake which hit the city early morning of 17th Sep '08 around 3:25am!
At first I just lay still in my bed trying to figure out what had just happened...it was scary must confess and having seen RGV's "Bhoot" just a few days back I was tempted to think it was some kind of "Black Magic" perhaps. And just as I was speculating other possibilities...my room-mate woke up with a jolt announcing "Earthquake aaya tha!!"...that should have struck me but forgive my foolish self for I often tend to complicate even simple solutions :P . I guess other people who awoke took as much time to come to any conclusion for it was only after a while that cells started buzzing with calls n sms about the tremor. We checked on TV, internet...but probably the world was still asleep while the quake passed. It must be been around 4-5 on richter scale for sure for it shook our complete bed, fan and window panes for about a minute or half.
Just hope that there isn't any destruction 'coz of it for what seems as an adventure now may have catastrophic effect by the time the world awakes to this realization tomorrow! It was my 2nd LIVE experience of Earthquake in Pune and I just pray that it may pass off without causing any damage. Well News Channels will be abuzz with this news all day tomorrow....so I guess my work here as first hand reporter is done and I better go off to sleep before my actual alarm starts shrieking few hours from now.
Gooodnight Earthquake.....
