Stormy starting in Deogad
My dear friends, this is the starting of my life story. I call it stormy starting as I met the life's first storm when I was just 7 months old ! Then onwords, my lifestyle has bacome stormy ! In those days, my father was in Government service. At that time, his posting was at Deogad , in old Ratnagiri District. Now it is in Sindhudurg District. One day, a cyclone came. As the storm increased its speed, part of the roof collapsed over my cradle. When my parents removed it, they found me safe ! They must have been relieved ! I was not aware about what was going on, but nothing had happened to me ! I was alive ! My parents must have thanked the God ! That was my first meeting with the storm ! Next time, I will tell you more about storms in Dehdays : my life story !
The second storm
So that was my first handshake with the stormy weather ! Point is that I didn't experience it ! 😆 What about second ...? The second meeting was fixed and we met each other in the year 1966 , when I was six ! I could see , experience , understand the cyclone. I was terrified by the wind's speed, by the heavy rainfall, by the swinging and falling trees....I did hear the roaring sea... Do you know that I was the only man present in house ? There was my mother and three old ladies ! We were in the neighborhood and all the ladies were taking different names of Gods ! I was not able to fix one name of any God ! I was only looking what was going on.
The third meet with cyclone
Did it stop there ? What do you think ? It didn't stop there , but the next storm fixed another meeting ...though after many years ! It was in 2009 when I came across the third cyclone ! Of course, I was much older at that time. Another thing about it is that I was 200 kms away from my home. I was at my wife's first home. My son was with me and my mother was with my wife at my home. This cyclone was named as Fayan and it was really dangerous. It made hevock everywhere in our region. Luckily enough there was not much trouble it created for me and my family.
We just met in 2020 !
Yes, I met the fourth cyclone. on 02 nd June's midnight ! This is the very latest storm which I came across. It has been named as Nisarg ( Nature ) ! What a name it got ! When the cyclone hit our area I was with my wife in our own home . It came roaring in at 03.30 am. At 04.15 the electricity gone. Winds were blowing at a speed of 100 kms per hour and the rain was dropping heavily. Our home is big and we were only two person in such a big home ! You can definitely understand how we have felt. Our roofing is made of Tatasteel . When the wind was getting under the roof , the sheets were lifting and giving sounds ! But fortunately the roof was intact after almost three hours fighting ! We were frightened, but kept our nerves anyhow ! The cyclone calm down in the afternoon of 03rd June, 2020.
