Armageddon

What I fear most of all - being a resident of the National Capital Territory - is an earthquake.

I just had a strange feeling of something 'quaking' underneath me and being a resident in a multistoried building, my first thought was whether there was an earthquake ...

A killer earthquake can really devastate Delhi ... with millions of fatalities. I don't think people are adequately conscious of that possibility.

However, the only silver lining is that Delhi has been around for thousands of years without any Great Earthquake hitting it.

Although that is no guarantee that a major earthquake won't hit Delhi in the near future, the likelihood is perhaps not too great.

Certainly, we are probably in a better position than Tokyo ... one certainly has to hope so!!!
