Top International Girls schools in Dehradun
You are travelling down a hilly terrain, music blaring, the wind in your hair, laughter ringing out all
around you. The car comes to a halt and you come to a hairpin bend, only to see a ghastly
accident. A bus, laden with passengers has, just a few seconds ago, fallen over the precipice and
screams rent the air. There is no one around, except you and your friends.
What would you do? Move on, or stop and help?
But stopping would mean getting involved? Coming face to face with blood and gore. Tragedy!
What are the options that you have? What do you do when a part of your heart says,"You must go.You belong there",and the other half says,"It isn't safe.You never know what will happen"? Which side of the heart do you listen to?
While hundreds of thousands of innocents were fighting a losing battle against Mother nature's
fury several hundreds like you and I were heading to the very same land. The land where holy
rivers flowed, and with them, many bodies, some dead, some alive.
They went to the temple to seek solace from this world.
They went there to greet the Lord.
They went there to come back, rejuvenated, energized and spiritually charged.
But what happened? What went wrong?
No one will ever know. Such is the uncertainty of life.
What immense courage and faith was required for me to say,"It's okay.The school is fine,unharmed.We'll be fine,too!"
Today, the entire Ecole family is here, and we are perfectly safe. However, the aftermath of last month's Kedarnath cloudburst just doesn't seem to leave us.
And to my horror i learnt that it doesn't just happen to others.A relative of mine lost seventeen members from her family!
On hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, unbidden.
How could anyone remain stoic and unaffected by a disaster of such mammoth proportions? It
could happen to anybody who decided to go on a family trip. It could happen to my family, it
could happen to yours, too. After all, it happened not very far away.
Often during the day, I am forced to deviate a little from my daily activity and give a thought to
this: What should I do when I am faced with something that is so compellingly close to home.
Thankfully, we are unaffected, but only physically. The trauma will remain with us for a long time
Fortunately, we are alive.
We are safe.
So do we call it being lucky, or do we call this unfair?
You and I survived.They didn't.
Think about it.
