Hurricane IKE

We are under the threat of Hurricane IKE. Authorities are cautioning citizens to be ready for the worst. It has created havoc in Cuba and coming to our state Texas. This news is flashed all our the world.

Yesterday, I was expecting calls from my home to know my and my family's well beings. But none had called. Everybody, back home expects me to call even if one sneezes in the family. This thought had depressed me. No one cares about us. Everybody is busy in their own life. For the first time, I made a complaint to my mother about this. She was aware of the flood situation of Patna and work done by Asa Ram Bapu ji there. She was also aware of the Large Harder Collider testing by European Union. But she was not aware of the Hurricane IKE and it's seriousness. Patiently I explained the potential danger of it and evacuation situation. After hearing she started crying and asked me to keep her updated about the situation. Effect of this was that my both the sisters called me and asked about our plans. Though it was late, but they realized there is someone, to who they tie bond of love twice a year, need to care about out of their routine life. I don't expect anything from my friends, perhaps I do not have any friend.

Early this morning, when I was enjoying morning sleep, one of my colleague called and asked if I am evacuating? I was not prepared for this question, particularly when, you are waken up by the annoying call. I told him I have not decided and also given reference of those people who have decided not to evacuate. He explained his long baseless logic and after hearing I told him I would prefer to stay at home. There is no evacuation announced for our area. Official requested not to increase crowd on highways as you are not required to go out. I am not part of that crowd. I do not know what will happen in next 24 hours? This time is critical. We might be without power and water or might be surrounded by water and no roof on our head. I think I will gracefully accept whatever this country is offering to me ..Great Experiences, travel , dollars and hurricane...
