10 things to learn from Japan-
1. THE CALM Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY-----Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
4. THE GRACE-----People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER-----No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE----Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS------Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING----The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA----They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE---When the power went off in a store,people put things back on the shelves & left quietly.
Can you imagine what would have happened, if anything on the smaller likes of what is happening in Japan, happened in India !
