Boxing day???

December 26th also called Boxing day is celebrated in some country, particularly commonwealth nations. It used to be a holiday in this state. So older generation are familiar with Boxing day but not the younger generation.

If I were in Canada, it's gonna be a long weekend holiday. Christmas, Boxing day, Saturday and Sunday.

This boxing day is also a 10 year anniversary of the devastating tsunami. Let me recall what I did that day.

On Saturday, Christmas day, our father scolded us for playing firecrackers. So, we're not really in a good mood that night. When ever the Hitler scolds, it would last for a few days. Living in terror with the Fuehrer.

The next day, we flew from the big city to this little city. The tsunami occurred around noon. At that time, we're on the way to the airport. Not knowing a disaster happened. That flight is an eventful one too. It's monsoon season and the little city's airport was raining heavily. Slippery runway. After 3 attempts we finally landed. Initially, the pilot planned to land in an airport in an island which is it's final destination. The little city is just a stopover.

However, the pilots decided to try landing after the second attempt. Third time's a charm.

After reaching home, turning on the telly, we watched the devastating natural disaster.

At times, 10 years ago feels like yesterday.
