Water – An Elixir of LifeLet it not threaten the life

Water is undoubtedly a synonym to life. One can not survive in this cruel world without its existence . We always run short of words while presenting its glory. It’s pious for life but when in excess, hinders to survive. Water explosion is a big question mark for life. We face famine, drought in its absence& flood in abundance of it. Both the situations are disastrous, so let’s not waste this renewable source of nature, save it protect it, preserve it for a safe & insured future.Let everyone have their share

Protect the world from Drought & despair

We have to even shed the last drop of blood

To save our nation from flood.

What is Tsunami?

A large wave on the ocean, usually caused by an undersea earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or coastal landslides. A tsunami can travel hundreds of miles over the open sea and cause extensive damage when it encounters land. It is also called tidal waves,however,oceanographersdiscouraged the term as misleading as they are not actually related to tides.

The video was shot by Aniket Kale. After visiting the memorial, the 16 year-old and his family were waiting for a ferry to take them back to the mainland when the tsunami suddenly crashed into the memorial and the sea wall beside it. Hundreds of other tourists were around at the time. Kale and his family are from Pune in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, The devastating tsunami of December 26 which destroyed lives and property in several countries around the Indian Ocean, killed more than six thousand people in Tamil Nadu.
