Sometimes, when u cant say whatever happens, happens for good, u say it was just something that was meant to happen. sometimes i think....some people left earth, earlier that night. we'll join them later. it was some adventurous night that has reserved its place in our diaries. much like the gas chambers of germans for jews.

My aunt and her family lived in Bhopal at that time. So did my best friend who'd moved there just a few years back. I remember coming back from school and my mom telling me this had happened. In those days STD calls were very difficult to make..but somehow we made them...or maybe used telegrams to find out if our family/friends were safe... Years later I read the book,"Five Past Midnight in Bhopal" and only then did the real horrors of that incident hit me. And now I hear Dow Chemicals is coming back to India....
