I was at home reading books, suddenly the window shakes and produce noise. I was afraid and ran towards my mother .we were afraid .the door were making a lot of noise. The house was shaking,it remained for at least 5o second. We came out of the house to an open space when earthquake stopped finally. They were falling , people were coming out of the house, it was too cold outside.
I tuned radio which announced the 7.9 rector scale. Many people were dead, many houses were collapsed and, in the meantime, radio announced that our Dharahara was collapsed. We were so sad to here that. People were crying because they had already lost their friend family and loved one. My closed brother Dippu was dead falling from wall. We went to his house, everyone was crying.it was so sad moment. several after-shake came for many days, we were compiled to stay in the tent because of fear. My heart was moving faster because of after shake .we knew about so many landslide and collapsed of ancient houses and temples.
My heart still trembles if I remember that day. Our country lost so many primitive natural properties. Earthquake destroyed the dream of people, their houses, school, land, bridge and so many things. We didn’t go to school for so many days. More than 15000 people died. I am very shocked .It was so bad for my country and all Nepalese people ,our country pushed far behind and taking a long time to recover from that disaster .Government announced the package for affected people but that took so long time to rich the people, so many people became homeless ,penniless, without family .
