Devastation in Bhuj-after the 26th January quake...

The vertical panels of the buildings have come apart after the deadly quake.
All thats left of their home, is rubble.
Not even a panel is left of the home-its thatch is reduced to frames, sans tiles.
Only the door frame remains upright after the earth shook.
Not many buildings have been spared the wrath of nature.
The toll post on Halol highway tilted after the 30second long tremors.
The temple at Bhuj breaks from the base, as the quake affected many age-old constructions.
The inhabitants cannot recognise their homes which have been destroyed in the quake.
"Is this my home"?m queries a survivor.
A cemetry or a home place? One would'nt know......
Who knows where the car is-the quake has spared none.......
