prayers for pakistan

oh mother. i'm trying to do a short article on health communication which unfortunately involves disaster communication, and it's hard to do because it means surfing some more on that killer quake in Pakistan. unofficial estimates count 35,000 dead. it's hard to imagine 35,000 people together, more so perished, more so children.

and i am especially scared of earthquakes after that time in 1991 when the lamppost on a street campus started swaying in wide arcs (and that was the least of it then).

and so, prayers for pakistan, and india, and the himalayas.
