Swept With The Waves

None was able to deter the tsunami waves from bringing untold miseries to mankind. But the dreaded red tape has made it certain that the long-term relief for reconstruction and rehabilitation do not reach the victims in any hurry. Nature's wrath of such mammoth proportions are still beyond the power of India to control, but India 'shining' and boasting of a phenomenal rise in the Sensex almost every alternate day, can certainly expediate the tsunami victims' return to normalcy, if the tightness of the red knot is set to nought for the sake of the hapless victims of nature's fury. But instead, callousness and corruption are rampant, at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of the tsunami victims.
