Nepal earthquake that shook me in the UK
First published on March 30, 2015 In the aftermath of the earthquake that shook the whole of Nepal and measured 7.8~7.9 in the Richter scale, I am engulfed with mixed emotions- I am mourning for the deceased; sympathetic to those who were injured, lost their beloved ones, lost their home; and sceptic to the country’s future. I have a gut feeling that we can ‘bounce…
