AILA –THE HAVOC AND THE HOLOCOUST
Wind velocity reaching to the maximum of 80 km/hr completely engulfed the city of joy Kolkata and made all attempts to take away the happiness of the people of this city on Tuesday the 25th of May. Meteorological scientists are bedazzled with the damage done by the cyclone called aila, because according to their predictions and statistical calculations it had actually the potential to destroy the city substantially based on the strength of devastating velocity of its wind. It was actually the happiness and joy of the next day after the birthday of the most beautiful girl of this planet and the mood to carry on the celebrations that kicked the cyclone off its track and forced it to change its way away from Kolkata, well may be we can’t deny actually she may have something supernatural in her. The other reason can be the presence of the sundarbans and its forest full of mangrove trees that efficiently imbibed the strength of the cyclone and broke down its power by destroying it into fragments. Whatever may be the reason but this cyclone was successful in its evil intentions taking away the lives of many people and destroyed their life that lost their loved ones. It’s so ironical that many people somewhere were actually enjoying the rain and the wind of the cyclone while it was killing someone here and there. This is nature’s fury and flip side of reality that nature is a mother, but humans should know how to respect their mother and how to protect its modesty and care for her generosity. The official reports say that about 15 people died but actually the estimate is that more than 65 people died in this cyclone. The next cyclone was also on its way to jolt the city but it somehow changed its tract of approach and hit Darjeeling killing many more people. Just imagine what would have happened if the preceding day would not have been her birthday!!
