October 8- Never come back.
I was on a summer trip in Islamabad, when my uncle called me and asked me to grab my handy cam and wear my joggers. I thought we were heading for hiking or may be going for a trolley ride. I was all ready to leave and was all exited as ever. As the car started moving, I immersed myself in the beautiful scenery of Islamabad, the forests, mountains and the clear blue skies.
I usually sleep while travelling and thats exatcly what I did, I slept in the car. As the car approached its destination, my uncle shook me and said " there we are". It took me sometime to figure out where we were, holding my handy cam(shooting my home video) I asked my uncle, "what place is it?", he replied " Muzaffarabad".
As I started shooting the video I became nostalgic. Every scene reminded me of October 8-the day when an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude struck Muzaffarabad causing millions of lives and ultimate destruction. From the LCD of my camera I could see destruction, people trying to rebuild their homes but all my mind could imagine and picture was dead people. I could only remember the shock that the entire nation went through. The holy month of Ramadan seemed like a period of mourning. The day of Eid went without any celebration. The only thing I loved was the unity amongst the people. Everyone tried to help in anyway they could.
Back home in Karachi, while watching the video that I shot while asking my uncle where we were, the camera's view went from my uncle saying " Muzafarabad" to the ground and was in that position for a long time.- showing how shocked I was to hear where I stood.
Even today I pray, please God make this day a history and let this day never come back, not only for Pakistan but for the entire world.
