Mother Nature Hits Back

Once more, Sri Lanka has been hit by torrential rains and floods. This has affected thousands of peoples' lives and several lives have been lost. Schools in some parts of the Eastern province have been closed.

In the recent few months, torrential rains have been a frequent visitor of Sri Lanka. Many other countries were hit by unprecedented floods during the past few months. Even at present, the Filipinos are suffering from floods. The drastic weather pattern changes are indications of nature responding to human activities.

For years, people thought that they could defy nature. They found ways to overcome many challenges. They utilized fire, wind, water, earth and the sky for their needs. In the process, they altered the face of the Earth and hurt nature.

Now it seems that mother nature is taking her revenge.
