On the day of the earthquake, I was at home with my mother. After the tremor stopped, I made rounds of the local area by car to check on the safety of the residents, in part because I served as a commissioned welfare volunteer.
Now, more than 16 months later, we have returned to our normal convenient life from that terrible state where nothing was available. Even now, I sometimes think about the disaster.
