Just heard on the news that a Tsunami measuring 7.2 on Richter has once more struck the coast of Jakarta. The news so far 2 hours later speaks of minimal loss of life..though I guess any life lost is a family struck down. Here's to praying it ends before it begins.
Sidenote : Changed the TV channel to find myself being asked by 2 fellow Aquarians in the groove (Abhishek Bachchan & Preity Zinta ) - "Where's the party tonight ?"
Ironic.
There will always be a party no matter where disaster strikes.. It's just a question of who's celebrating. And who's left in tears.
