Of Rotten Luck, Deluge and Catastrophies

It all started on the evening of 28th October....I was starting for home from Bangalore for Diwali. At the nick of the moment i checked-in my code and ran down to collect money from the ATM.
I had a foreboding that it wud'nt work and how true, it did'nt. I ran up and borrowed some money from my colleagues and caught an Auto.
Coastal South India was under the spell of a deluge. Incessant rains brought normal life to a stand still. Chennai was submerged. Bangalore had its share of disaster too. I boarded my train which thankfully started on time.
Coming home i came to know of a disaster that befell on a train carrying hundreds of passengers from Repalla.
Due to the negligence of the track sureveying personnel the train tread onto a non-existent track over a bridge (the track was washed away by the furious waves) and hundreds of lives were sacrificed to mother nature's fury.
At times like this i reckon how insignificant a human is infront of the mystified forces of the universe and nature...
