Amphan’s Dread

 



Amphan’s Dread


The year of 2020 was indeed a dreadful year for all of us. Well, we don’t even know how the present year will be. Still, let’s hope for the best as usual.

Let’s take a trip down the memory lane.

Yes, we are in 2021 right now. But can we ever, can we ever forget the disasters of the previous year at all? Corona’s raid, Amphan’s dread instilled utmost panic in the minds of all of us.

I can still recall the horrible night of Amphan. There was no electricity at all for a pretty long span of time. Although the span varied from place to place, the horror was the same almost to all and sundry.

The roaring voice of the cyclone was audible from inside the rooms. Though the room was locked up in all respects, we could not get rid of the horror.

That night, so many people were rendered homeless; so many people became bereft of their near and dear ones. It was a truly existential crisis. For the first time ever, I felt such insecurity from within.

It was not I; it was everybody, because the super cyclone left nobody untouched with its dire disastrous consequences.
