Gaja,Storm

The monsoon has started as usual this year ,                                   Coastal villages have experienced more rainfall,                    
My small village was very close to the sea shore                                                             The red alert was issued by the government .                          
                                                                                                                        The weather report said there was a severe storm                                      Gaja, name was generated by the Srilankan,                                         And it was called Fani in East Bangladesh ,                        
Pakistan named it Titli which means butterfly                  
                                                                                                                          Our villagers were never afraid of cyclonic storms.                               They had come across storms like Vardah,Nilam and Thane.                                                                                             Gaja severely damaged the coastal villages ,                                 uprooted big trees, light posts, water tanks and huts       
                                                                                                    
Most of the villagers had become homeless,                                                          And they were in a state of helplessness,                                                        I had never seen such a terrific storm in my life,                                              They experienced the highest wind speed.
