Appointment with a catastrophe–2001 earthquake in Bhuj
On Jan. 26, 2001, I was in Bhuj when the earthquake struck. I had been to Ahmedabad to cover a seminar which was scheduled on Jan. 28 and 29, 2001. There I met then editor of the Times of India, Ahmedabad edition, Mr. Kingshuk Nag Ahmedabad who requested me to pen down the eye-witness account. Following is the feature on the reminiscences of the horrific day.

January 26, 2001, the fateful Friday was destined to be a Republic Day with a difference. I had arrived in Bhuj a day earlier to see a childhood friend with whom I had parted company after schooling in an industrial township (where our fathers were posted in early 1970s). Being a journalist, I was there as if by an appointment with a catastrophe whose memories would remain etched in my mind’s notebook lifelong.
