We heard...
but too late. It hit.
Winds ferocious, waves monstrous,
tools of the devil
sped to slumbering shores
and a land lulled illusively.

We saw...
as never before. The horror.
Tearing, toppling, twisting,
bending, beating, blowing,
all that stood in the way.
Feasting off flesh and blood.

We felt...
'Ice and ember.' Highly emotive.
Shock, pity, fury, empathy,
a thunder of hue and cry.
Head and heart clamouring,
moaning for the dead and half-dead.

We did...
at utmost level. What's possible.
Morale and moral drove us
to face odds, remove barriers,
hope and help to hook up.
Truly, a colossal test of
storm and spirit.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The music industry in Burma has almost ground to a halt because of the pirated CDs. We could do nothing in the last two to three years. Some singers performed in concerts promoting the sale of their music albums in VCDs. But economically it is not viable,"

Singer and song writer Saung Oo Hlaing
