Earthquakes - Reminder of the Past

This earthquake on Saturday reminded me of a similar much severe and deadly one that occurred in the year 2005. The month was same and the day was same too. Only the date was different, that was October 08, 2005. It was Ramzan then as is now. But this one was merely 5.6 in magnitude while that one was 7.6. This one was not deadly at all, while that previous one claimed around 80,000 lives all over.

That was a Saturday too when i had come to office to finish off some pending work. And this time again i found myself in the same setting. It's strange how history repeats itself. But thank God it changes the parameters every time.
