What did you do after 5:45 feeling #earthquake #tremors? I ran to fetch face #Masks rather than running towards #door to evacuate home! #COVID__19 has changed response system too! @PMOIndia@TomRaftery @thinkers360 #coronaupdatesindia https://t.co/Xsb8B3QY0x

After today’s #earthquake, a chat between 2 animals:
“Now these humans will understand how it feels to first cage someone & then to torture them in the cage”.
Nature is making us learn many things. Better we should learn. After all we r just one of the numerous species on earth
