Homage !

Jogger's, Walker's, Sun bather's and all the many who were residing near the shore at Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka and Andaman & Nicobar islands, were swept away into the sea by huge and strong tidal waves; leaving more than 75,000 people dead and an equal number affected or missing.

This tragedy was due to 'Tsunami' (pronounced tsoo-nah-mee) wave train or series of waves generated by the water body due to impulsive disturbances on the earth surfaces. This is a very common occurance in USA and Japan.

Its very heartening to note that a lot of countries and individual people are coming forwards with contribution and also offering themselves for assisting in the relief works.

The video coverage shows large scale devastation of land and buildings. This phenomenon has rendered thousands without shelter and has also shattered their dreams.

May all the dead rest in peace !!!
