What a week! It's been unreal. It felt apocalyptic. Personally, this is the worst I have experienced since the 2004 Asian Tsunami. A criminal act on the government's part to neglect the very basics (more on that later). We were hit by Cyclone Ditwah. We were without electricity since Thursday evening. As a result of the power outage, mobile and land phone networks, and Internet connections were dead in no time. Apparently mobile phone companies had decided long ago to make an extra buck by ditching batteries and power generators at their towers. In the midst of the unfolding chaos people were cut off from the rest of the world, from essential services and news in general.

We are safe. Thousands of others are not.
