'twas the morning after Christmas, and nothing was stirring except a Tsunami
Widespread damage, thousands of lives lost across Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India ... a tsunami swamping the beaches in Madras at just the right time to sweep away a large crowd of morning joggers.
Priya and I are safe, barring a nasty shock when she was jerked out of bed early today morning by the quake, and I was sleepily muttering "just an earthquake, get back to sleep" before I woke up and flipped on the TV ...
We've left the TV on, flipping back and forth from one news channel to another, one horrendous picture to another, is making us more than a bit shell shocked.
Our prayers go out to the people affected by this tragedy. I guess I can only thank god our friends and relatives in the affected areas are safe, as far as I know.
