After the storm

So many beautiful trees were uprooted, several lost their branches- Kolkata's urban landscape is badly scarred with tumbled trees and broken cables. Many huts and shanties have been damaged/destroyed in a few short hours.

Lives were lost, and Mother Nature, once again, reminded us that she is more powerful than mere humanity.

My internet connection is, of course, out of commission, and I have limited laptop access. I will get back as soon as I can. Thanks for all the messages inquiring about our welfare.

Stay safe, everyone.

    @everyone: Thanks for all the wishes. There are still scary looking tangles of wires dangling on several roads, but most of the broken trees have been removed.
    @mandira- thank you- will collect it soon:)
    @kiran: Yes Ma'am, new post's up.
