I’ve not had time to write blogs lately; too
busy with my book and others. But the news of another earthquake in Nepal almost
paralyzed me this morning. I’ve no mood to carry on my regular chores. My hands
are shaky and I’m very upset with the God!
I've been talking with my God regularly since I was a child. This morning my communication with God was more like a rebuke than prayers. I asked Him bluntly his purpose of this catastrophe in Nepal? "Haven’t the people of Nepal suffered enough from the brutality of the Maoist?", I asked.

In a time like this, I feel fortunate to have lived in Canada with my husband and
children. But I know Canada is not immune to earthquake, either. However, being close to the "plates" Nepal gets earthquake more frequently than it deserves!
My family left Nepal a long time ago. We came of our own, without the support of the Nepal government. So, we didn't 'betray' our birth country. Instead, we've been helping a few people financially when they are in real trouble. Still, Nepal is our birthplace and the one with lots of childhood memories. So, our feelings for the country remains intact.
Nepal is just like any other poor nations with good and bad people. Being poor is not the worst thing for the country, but being illiterate and corrupt government have been! Deceitful bourgeoisie are better off now than ever before, but the poor and vulnerable people are suffering more than they can handle!
When I got another news of another earthquake in Nepal this morning, my first response was to give calls to our immediate families from both sides. When I found out they're okay physically, my mind rushed to million others who may not have been so lucky with their situation.
God is too powerful to mess up with, so instead of fighting with Him, I left home to purchase a few yellow rosebushes and two carts of pink petunias from the nearest nursery. I planted them in my front lawn for the peace of my people back home. Then, I was called for interviews by the CBC radio and television.
It was a long day today and my bedtime prayers was: God have mercy for the people of Nepal!
