About two weeks back on April 25, 2015 (Baishak 12, 2072) our son is 59 months
old. I was out of the valley (Gulmi) for some official work. I went there a day before. My kid was growing normally.

But
on this day, a huge earthquake of magnitude 7.9 stork the nation, the
shaking continued for around 50 sec. I was conducting the training for
around 110 teachers in Gulmi. After several tries I got contacted with
my wife, and got to know that they (all my family members) are safe.
Later I came to know that during earthquake my wife and son were inside
my house at 4th story. They saw all the things in my kitchen fell down,
walls cracked, bricks fell down in front of them. Actually they were
blocked inside the house, luckily not injured. Similarly my sister and
her son too was inside of my house at 2nd story. They too were not
injured. After the shock stopped, they helped each other and came
outside of the house safely and went to open space.
There were hundreds of after shocks. I returned back the very next day April 25, 2015 (Baishak 13, 2072). All family members were much scared. But we were all together.
18
people died in my place, hundreds of housed cracked (non liveable) and
hundreds of houses collapsed.Almost all people lived in tent. The
situation was really scary.
Almost all natural heritage sites of our nation were destroyed due to this earthquake.
