The Sinking Kolkata
- Pi
Today, I don't know what to call it. A black out or the flood, whatever but this situation was like a living hell. It was frightening, it was scary, it was dark, after all it rain and winded fast.
How it start? The Night...
I do remember how cold felt like when I was asleep. Night full dark, no light; seemed like real. It was the light of my brothers smartphone who was sleeping next to me. Oh my when I tried to look clearly I tried to open the night bulb at that time my only thought was that it was fused I was wrong everything was still the fan don't moved. I looked hereby and saw a bang it was wind. When I waked up look how the situation look then I found the coldness was water droplets coming by the window and the cold was formed due to high winds. I looked down, up hereby; everybody was waked. They are not asleep they are discussing - ' Is this real? Why do they cut off lights? Don't we feel warm?' I lay down. The electricity was cut off I do know this time that rain and wind were heavy but it was not possible for me to look how aggressive it was. I slept in cold using my bed sheet as my shawl. I felt something warm it was my brother. He was suffering from cold and probably was in cold and suffer from fever. I slept around at 3.
It was morning
Morning was nice I waked up about 6 or 7 but I was too surprised to see that how the water was logged out of the window on the nearby roads and grounds. No one was talking like yesterday. Everybody was happy to get to the cool droplets of cold fusion. As old persons' said, there will always be an another obstruction after one's completed successfully..
It was true.
Electricity was no more
Making us to suffer in cold without ours phone not fully charged and in dark rooms. Our house is big we can't see in dark without electricity. The electricity was not cut by the authorities, Our's area's transformers was blown up.
In that morning I was advised to take a bath and have my breakfast done fast.
I refused.
I have my work done by 8 but the wind was still violent and rain was high. I resemble the Chennai. And thought if that will do happen here than what to do? I thought to evacuate. Haha not quite possible.
School?
I thought it was not possible for me to take the train and to walk about of 20 minutes in this rain.
One of my friend called me around 8:50 saying don't come to school none of our group members are coming. I thought an another leave and felt good. But goodness is just a word this life is made to live in worse.
In Dark
My mother told me to get some breakfast. She meant the milk and the biscuits. I said her to make something at home but she told me that it was mostly impossible there was no light in the kitchen and she can't cook in dark. I told her that ok I will brought up all the material required for our pale supper. I put up my slippers and wore up a short and gone towards the market. The lake was like overflowing. It can't resist more water. The ducks were full wet. But they were happy. They're enjoying. I continued to the...
Market and Streets in Rain
They were like lit. Everybody was having their items gettin. The vegetables and all the market was open. I brought up all the items and when I was returning I listen a women speaking about repairing
umbrella. As I was wet and suffering to not wet much. I listened that yesterday he was repairing one's umbrella, he taken about more than 100 just to repair a broken one. The women was laughing just because she spent more than what an umbrella costs.
I returned home. Have our breakfast. We don't have TV except our phone. I thought it would be nice if I don't use it enough. I shut down it just to save my a little bit of power. There was no light expect the sun's one. The sun was in deep clouds. Only a little bit of light was coming. I thought it will be my waste if I study in this light.
Slowingly time passed. Now noon was up but no sun was up.
My brother told we should do something before situation became worse.
I said., it was about nothing to do except waiting to have a good day. He opened his phone he was a little bit fussy when he saw that a cyclone just strike. It was named komen or something else. It was about more than two day long but we don't want it. Now roads were in water. And wind speed is increasing and the day was just fully wasted. Waiting was that we can do.
The situation became worse
When evening came. Everywhere was dark and no electricity was there now the wind and the rain slowed down. Our luck was there. Before getting dark the lights came back. They repaired the transformer. Everywhere was happiness and our colony was lit with a clever good simple oddly smile
"It was quite difficult to feel. But no easy to resist only hope is what we need indeed"
