Wildfires in California…upsetting and disturbing as they were…they also were equally entertaining and relaxing!!! Surprised? Allow me to explain.
I am a resident of NY and I was utterly shocked to see the mass destruction and damages the wildfires were causing. I was keeping a close eye to see where the fires and how the fires were growing. Hundreds of thousands of miles were burnt out. Homes, people and places reduced to heap of ash…It is very very disturbing mentally to think about all the damages this natural calamity has caused.
But for others in California, where the fires didn’t reach, they couldn’t reach offices and hence it was holiday time! They enjoyed being at home and watching TV for updates on a “paid holiday”. They had feasts and enjoyed their mini vacation time. They also took pictures of the smoke cover..why?..beacuse they wanted to make and album named "California wildfires 2007". When houses were getting scorched in unruly flames of wild fires, they were thinking of the effect the catastrophe will have on the housing market and realty prices in California!!
Wake up people…please wake up. See around than just seeing the mirror. If you are human, have a bit of humanity. Is that too much to ask?

hmmm you have asked a very valid question....in today's life, we are so caught up in our own lives n its related stress...that we forget to think of others....a holiday for us is a reason to njoy even if it means that the holiday is to mark someone's death!
