The day broke peacefully in Noida but those watching the net news on Kerala were not enthusiastic after heaqring the wide spread havoc the incessant rains and cloud bursts brought to the little shining state! Many were appalled to see their loving loving houses being submerged in front of their eyes and they being pushed into nothingness. Most were taken by the authorities to Life Saving Temporary Camps set up which was a very hopeful sight indeed! Many people regardless of caste and creed and beliefs turned up to help and it continued for the last three four days!
The number of people who lost their lives and umpteen number of cattle and other animals were all thought provoking and making everybody rethink. With all those heavy thoughts we entered our little route bus from Bhangel. Just before entering the bus the climate became too stuffy and humid and it ended with a light shower with the sun shining bright. Luckily the bus was airconditioned and it took away the heat to an extend. Watching the side sights from the bus, especially an airconditioned one is really worth. Both sides has lot of businesses going on and people and all kinds of vehicles from bicycle to our huge air conditioned bus pass from time to time.Dust, grime, and muddy water were everywhere and people moved everywhere on business.
Most of the bylanes and road sides are mostly taken by parked vehicles of all kinds and way side sellers of various wares.
The walls on either side had different kinds of huge writings One disease mainly catching our eyes was 'Bawasir' ek teeke me' meaning a particular kind of fever mostly affecting children as it is understood. One teeke me meant one injection. An injection here is called either a teeka or a suyi. (Teeka means a dose and suyi means needle-whihch is used in short for injection as the syringe always has a needle in front). One will be surprised if there are so many people suffering from 'Bawasir'.
Our bus reached the Mother Teresa Hall in time for prayerful mass. The mothers children along with other sisters are looking after a lot of leprosy patients who limped around with their wooden crutches. But it sdeedmed wonderful that they were all happy. The service of the sisters were really worth admiration for all humanitarians. The mass was a solemn one with special request for donations with prayer for the flood affected which was really taken up by one and all.
After the mass we visited our near relative there and after lunch and rest we returned in the same sort of lovely buses by the evening
