Boxing Day Disasters

December 26, 2007 by roshan.george in Madras, India, Disasters

There's something about Boxing Day and disasters: In 2003, it was the Bam Earthquake; in 2004, it was the Indian Ocean Tsunami and; last year, it was the Hengchun quake in Taiwan. There's fodder for those claiming some significance. I remember having to write something about the Second Coming of the Messiah a while ago, my essay was a work of art I tell you, a work of art.

I remember we were at the beach near Nikhil's place in Thiruvanmiyur the day before the tsunami playing football. If it weren't for the classes that they had that Sunday we might have gone there again. Funny. A moment of silence...
