Chapter 6 Weathering The Storm In Ersama

-by Harsh Mander

Prashant Goes to Ersama

On 27th October, 1999 Prashant goes to meet his friend. It was seven years after his mother’s death. His friend lives in the coastal town of Ersama. It is 18 kms from Prashant’s village, Kalikuda.

27 अक्टूबर, 1999 को प्रशांत अपने दोस्त से मिलने जाता है। मां के देहांत के सात साल हो चुके थे। उसका दोस्त तटीय शहर एरसामा में रहता है। यह प्रशांत के गांव कालीकुड़ा से 18 किमी दूर है।

Cyclone Hits Ersama

A cyclonic storm hits Ersama that evening and continues for 36 hours. It is accompanied by continuous and heavy rains. This results in flooding of the town.

As a result, Prashant and his friends’ family gather at the rooftop of the house to save their lives. They stay there for two days. They eat coconuts from the coconut trees that had fallen on the rooftop.

एक चक्रवाती तूफान उस शाम एरसामा से टकराया और 36 घंटे तक जारी रहा। यह लगातार और भारी बारिश के साथ है। इससे कस्बे में पानी भर जाता है।

नतीजतन, प्रशांत और उसके दोस्तों का परिवार अपनी जान बचाने के लिए घर की छत पर इकट्ठा हो जाता है। वे वहां दो दिन रुकते हैं। वे छत पर गिरे नारियल के पेड़ों से नारियल खाते हैं।

Destruction Caused by Cyclone

The 350km per hour winds accompanying the cyclone destroyed everything. Water has spread everywhere. Houses were broken and trees had fallen. Dead animals and human bodies were floating everywhere.

चक्रवात के साथ आई 350 किमी प्रति घंटे की हवाओं ने सब कुछ तबाह कर दिया। हर तरफ पानी फैल गया है। मकान टूट गए और पेड़ गिर गए। जगह-जगह मरे हुए जानवर और इंसानों के शव तैर रहे थे।

Prashant Decides to Go to His Village

Prashant is worried about the well-being of his family. Hence, he decides to go to his village although the place is still flooded with water. He takes a long stick to help him locate the road and has to swim when he loses the road. On the way, he has to push away many dead bodies of humans and animals to make his way. With great difficulty, he covers the distance of 18 kms and reaches his village.

प्रशांत को अपने परिवार की सलामती की चिंता सता रही है। इसलिए, वह अपने गाँव जाने का फैसला करता है, हालाँकि वह स्थान अभी भी पानी से भरा हुआ है। वह सड़क का पता लगाने में मदद करने के लिए एक लंबी छड़ी लेता है और जब वह रास्ता खो देता है तो उसे तैरना पड़ता है। रास्ते में उसे अपना रास्ता बनाने के लिए इंसानों और जानवरों की कई लाशों को दूर धकेलना पड़ता है। बड़ी मुश्किल से वह 18 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय कर अपने गांव पहुंचता है।

Prashant’s Family Relieved to See Him

Prashant’s family members are happy and relieved to see him as they had given him up for dead. Prashant was also happy to see all his family members safe and sound in the Redcross camp. 86 people died in Prashants’s village in the cyclone and the people who had survived the cyclone took refuge in the Red Cross shelter as all the houses have been destroyed by the cyclone.

प्रशांत के परिवार के सदस्य उसे देखकर खुश और राहत महसूस कर रहे हैं क्योंकि उन्होंने उसे मृत समझ कर छोड़ दिया था। रेडक्रॉस कैंप में अपने परिवार के सभी सदस्यों को सकुशल देखकर प्रशांत भी खुश था। चक्रवात में प्रशांत के गांव में 86 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी और जो लोग चक्रवात से बच गए थे उन्होंने रेड क्रॉस आश्रय में शरण ली क्योंकि चक्रवात से सभी घर नष्ट हो गए हैं।

Prashant Becomes Leader at the Shelter

Prashant stays at the shelter as his house has been destroyed by the cyclone. The shelter is dirty and overcrowded. The victims in the shelter are wounded and hungry. Prashant takes on the responsibility of helping them by organising a group of youths and elders and pressurised the grain merchant to give rice for the hungry people. He cleans the shelter and helps the victims to get food. The orphans in the shelter are handed over to childless widows so that they would get proper love and care. The men in the shelter procure food and materials for the shelter while the women work for the “Food for Work programme started by an NGO.

प्रशांत आश्रय में रहता है क्योंकि उसका घर चक्रवात से नष्ट हो गया है। आश्रय गंदा और भीड़भाड़ वाला है। आश्रय में पीड़ित घायल और भूखे हैं। प्रशांत युवकों और बुजुर्गों की टोली बनाकर उनकी मदद करने की जिम्मेदारी लेता है और अनाज व्यापारी पर भूखे लोगों के लिए चावल देने का दबाव बनाता है। वह आश्रय की सफाई करता है और पीड़ितों को भोजन प्राप्त करने में मदद करता है। आश्रय में अनाथों को निःसंतान विधवाओं को सौंप दिया जाता है ताकि उन्हें उचित प्यार और देखभाल मिल सके। आश्रय के पुरुष आश्रय के लिए भोजन और सामग्री खरीदते हैं जबकि महिलाएं एक गैर सरकारी संगठन द्वारा शुरू किए गए “काम के बदले भोजन” कार्यक्रम के लिए काम करती हैं।

After Six Months

After six months of the devastation of the cyclone, Prashant is feeling better. His wounded spirit has healed as he did not have time to think about his pain. The widows and orphans of his village seek his help whenever they are in trouble. Thus, Prashant’s courage and affection for needy people teach us to stand bold and cool in hard times.

चक्रवात की तबाही के छह महीने बाद प्रशांत बेहतर महसूस कर रहे हैं। उसकी घायल आत्मा ठीक हो गई क्योंकि उसके पास अपने दर्द के बारे में सोचने का समय नहीं था। उसके गाँव की विधवाएँ और अनाथ जब भी मुसीबत में होते हैं तो उसकी मदद माँगते हैं। इस प्रकार, जरूरतमंद लोगों के लिए प्रशांत का साहस और स्नेह हमें कठिन समय में निर्भीक और शांत रहना सिखाता है।

Conclusion of Weathering the Storm in Ersama

The chapter – Weathering the Storm in Ersama illustrates how we should form a community of workers wherever a calamity strikes so that we can help people rather than merely depending on the government for aid.

अध्याय – एरसामा में तूफान का सामना करना यह दर्शाता है कि जहां भी आपदा आती है, वहां हमें श्रमिकों का एक समुदाय कैसे बनाना चाहिए ताकि हम सहायता के लिए केवल सरकार पर निर्भर रहने के बजाय लोगों की मदद कर सकें।
