the bombay falling



Yesterday night another building collapsed in mumbai... third in a single week!
as yet some 6 casualties have been reported.
Let me rephrase that 6 living people who went to sleep last night - who climbed their bed just the way you and me do - daily - unlike us never woke up.
They were buried in their own house. Live.

i honestly dont know what to comment on this one. The authorities told them that the house was unsafe, but these people continued to live.
These people continued to live for lack of an option.
these people died for they couldnt find time to search for an option.

they died for not understanding the gravity of the situation. they died just 'cause death himself had picked them up.
but most of all they died cause the government never used force to evacuate them in first place... they were a casualty of inaction!
