HY, I am Nikita Maharjan from ,Lalitpur. I have tried my best to write down all my feelings, experiences and my thoughts as well as some of the thoughts of others peoples in this report. I have put some of pictures that I had captured by myself through my cellphone //my languages might not be so clear and genuine …please mam re-check and correct.//originally written on the basis of my experience The Earthquake,the great disaster again took place in after over many years ,especially affecting 14 districts of Nepal including ;mainly Kathmandu, lalitpur , bhaktapur , Sindhupalchowk , Gorkha , Rasuwa , Langtang , Dhading..and etc. As talking about my experiences regarding earthquake happened in 2015-04-25th or(Baishakh 12th) ) on Saturday 11:56 am .Well I got totally scared on the first day of earthquake. What I was doing during Quake? Actually , I was on the way to road going Civil Mall located in Ratnapark , kathmandu with some of my friends. We were going to watch the recent released nepali movie called “RESHAM FILILI”. We had already booked the ticket so that we could easily reach the theatre in time and enjoy the movie. The movie usually starts exactly 12:30 pm. We were in Micro Bus with my friends .Suddenly when earthquake happened, the Bus started to move left- right again and again.We never had expected that the bus moved due to the Earthquake. We were totally surprised after knowing that bus moved not due to other problems but fact was,we were experiencing unbelievable quake. Immediately, all the passengers of the bus including we all came down and started to run near the open ground fastly. Many peoples started to cry, some started to pray the god, somestarted to run here and there.Well that moment was actually an believable moment of my life. I felt I was totally missing my family. My eyes started to fill with tears.I also saw many peoples who were riding a bike,got injured due to minor accident. Many old houses started to collapse one after another. Dust Over all Road .Then that moment, I had already thought that day is our last day in this world.ie. I said “now we all are going to die”. Immediately, I tried to contact with my family, but the phone was not reachable at that moment. Then,I got totally scaredagain .The Quake shook us for about 2 or 3 minutes may be. Soon after 1st earthquake, again after 5 or 10 minutes we felt another quake .After some moment, then luckily I was able to contact my dad, I called him and asked him to pick me from kathmandu. Dad told every family members are safe in home. This story including the very horrible moments of my life, I could never forget in my entire life. What do I feel now: The bad news is that My old farm house has been damaged now and now that old house is not in the condition so that we could stay in that house again I think and the another newhouse where we now live has gotcrak in some part of my house. I am not so worried about my family because they are safe now up to this situation but I am especially worried about the overall nation of my country Nepal and those citizens who now have let nothing to live, to eat and to wear due to Earthquake .As compared to those poor citizens ,I feel lucky sometimes because at least I have home to live ,I have my family to share my experiences . I feel bad for those poor people who are totally affected by this disaster. My Protest: I totally want to protest and raise hands against the government of Nepal because still many out countries have been providing various incentives like donations in the form of money, and supplying foods and tents and etc. But, Still many affected areas and Earthquake victims are not been carefully served by the government of Nepal. They need now shelter to live, food to eat and clothes to wear. Those supplied foods should be accessible to remote areas whose living life has been totally affected by disaster Earthquake. My Locality: I am feeling very bad because many people of my locality have been injured and some have lost their family members,some have to lost their home. Many peoples has become the earthquake victim.They are seeking for the effective government response and some help from Government. What I did : Soon after 3 days of Earthquake, I visited heavly damaged earthquake affected areas of Lalitpur District like , , HARRISIDDHI , BADEGAUN and .Some of the pictures of BUNGAMATI area that I had capturedbefore and after Quake.

MY LOCALITY SITUATION AFTERQUAKE(SUNAKOTHI) As being the student , I could do just is playing the role of Volunteer ,helping them in making tents , suggesting them what to do and not to do during quake. I denoted my blood considering that, many injured victims might need blood in any kind of emergency case.My help to those earthquake victims will continue and I promise I would be doing everything what I can do for those Quake Victims.

My recent life: Now, recently me and my family, we are spending our nights in tents. My family is still scared of Earthquake. I am working as a Volunteer in my locality Sunakothi, Lalitpur and assisting them through helping in many ways . Views of Peoples: They told that the reason behind Earthquake is “GOD IS PUNISHING WE HUMAN BEING BECAUSE WEPEOPLE HAVE BECOME SELFISH AND TOTALLYIRRESPOSIBLETOWARDS ENVIRONMENT ”. While some of my neighbor said that “ AS WE DO NOT REALIZE OUR MISTAKE , THE CARELESSNESS OF PEOPLE TOWARD OUR CULTURE AND HERIDITY, WE PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER CONDITION OF DESTRUCTION OF OUR ANCIENT HISTORIES’’. They have their own views ,own thoughts . Similarly I have my own thought. What I think is that the Quake happens not either due to the God or not either due to the People Carelessness toward their Environment .But , I think is that Earthquake is just the Natural Disaster and it can happen in any time, any place . Even Top Scientists have not been able to prove what is the main cause of getting Quake and Why it happens. It’s Unpredictable.
