As Midnapur cries in pain, floods take their toll to 50. Now this is what is officially known. I personally maintain the number to be no less than 100. As our lives go on handling clients, watching soccer and so forth and so on, there are doctors, defense personnel and numerous other professionals who are busy helping the people of Midnapur fight the battle for survival. I count these people as the last and only hope for mankind. I wish they are able to reverse the global ecological cataclysm mans finds himself in. But as Bryan Adam says ‘can’t stop the thing we started’. Man has reached a point of no return…terrestrially speaking.
