october 8th earthquake

October 8th is one of those dates, whose effects will echo on till the very end in the life of every Pakistani. It was the day when several areas of Pakistan were hit by a very powerful earthquake resulting in huge amounts of financial and human loss. But perhaps even more painful was the incapibility of the Pakisatni Government to cope up with the demands and needs of that time. However the enthusiasm in helping the effected people and genuine feelings of sympathy that all the citizens showed must be appreciated.

On that day, I was in my college and I got to know about this incident only when I got back home. It obviously disturbed me a lot and I wished I could do something about it. I did manage to contribute money in different funds and helped the earthquake struck people as much as I could.
