In today’s Deccan Chronicle’s Chennai edition I read a very sad article about an eight year old girl, who killed herself by setting herself on fire for a meagre reason that her teacher checked her school bag in suspicion of theft. The girl was an excellent student and felt humiliated by the very act of checking her bag in front of the whole class.

For a moment i was thinking that their could have been many such instances which never got reported first and their could have been many such girls and boys who could be doing something very frightening to themselves just ‘coz they have been humiliated by something.

So therefore the “Flood” can be interpreted as negative things that happen in our life. Sometimes we feel that we are flooded with bad luck or we wonder, “Why this is happening only to me? Why me???” Well the answer to this is, floods are gonna come, and when comes, it will destroy everything, and when I say everything, i mean, “EVERYTHING”.
