Thanks to almighty that you and your family are left unscathed! I read the entire write-up, nicely expressed, really feel restless that how you and lot many of other must be facing the current gloominess, which is actually is a mix of relief and a feeling of what worst could have happened? Keep yourself away from bad thoughts.

I am also a blogger at Substack "Batkahi", and stand with you all in this fearful and shocked moment of post devastation.

Glad to know you're safe and sound Tyag!

Those cracks in the wall, if they are just at cosmetic, may be draw some murals around them?

I was going to ping you and check but blame it on my inertia and inefficiency. Glad to hear you are safe and I hope and pray that this is the only one and last of it that you experience. And, I hope the scars and cracks fill up sooner than later. Stay safe y’all.

Thank you 😊. I am sure it will take a week before I am making jokes like "is it an earthquake or is it my stomach?"

This sounds surreal. Glad to hear you're okay and hope the ennui will recede soon.

Glad to know that you and your wife were unscathed! I wonder if your current gloominess is a mix of relief and guilt? Many years ago, I lived in Mumbai during what was an eventful decade of bomb blasts and terror attacks. I found that talking about it with family and friends and strangers was the most effective balm. Hope that works for you too!
