It was the first experience for me, and that's why I got pretty excited! I was in office, when I with my colleagues felt the work table shaking. I asked them, if they were playing the prank, but they denied!

And then.. the building was evacuated! But things went to normal soon.

Sir, I was in Bhuj when it happened. Have seen buildings fallen.

It was nature's fury on small city like Bhuj. God knows what happens if such things happen in crowded NCR.

God bless earth. Thanks to human kind which is responsible for so called Global warming.

Do check out for something called Earth Poles are moving in Google. Japan's quake moved the poles again.

^^ What you witnessed must be a lot scary, and unfortunate.
I hope no one witness such scenarios. Not much can be done in disasters, cause when it happens, it has the destructive power that's unbeatable. All we can do is to be informed, vigilant, and pray.
