earth quake ms mahadevan ....... need summary
Answers
Answer:
"Earthquake", written by M.S. Mahadevan, is a story about a seventeen year old boy, named Brij. He states his story to a traveler that his village had faced a terrible earthquake which lasted less than five minutes and destroyed six hundred and two (602) villages out of six hundred and seventy (670) villages in that area.
Fortunately, Brij was away that night to buy school books. His brother, mother, and grandmother could not survive that earthquake. During the search, rescuers found all the corpses of his family except his little sister. She was eventually found by an army officer. She had been buried under the debris for a hundred and sixteen hours.
After that tragic incident in his life, Brij and his sister went to live with his uncle. He got a job at a Dhaba near Panipat after some time. His sister started going to school again after some time. Brij tells the traveler that he never got the chance to thank that Army Officer who saved his sister and he hopes that one day he would get a chance to thank the Officer. Every time he saw an Army man, he would hope it was him. For months he would search for his face in every crowd. And one day, he did find him.

Answer:
Brij, a little boy of 17 years old, offers tea at free of cost to any of the army officers or tired travellers. On his way to his tea-shop, he looks happy and excited. He offers a tired traveller tea and tells the incident of an earthquake that killed almost all of his family four years ago. On that day Brij went to a nearby Village, Pauri, to buy his school books and stayed at his uncle’s house.
That day night, his hometown, Molthi, was shattered by a powerful earthquake. He could just see the corpse of all his family members except his little sister, Bhuli. Everyone believed that she would have been eaten by some wild animals. But Brij felt that she would be alive. He requested an Army officer to search. The officer brought a team of three soldiers and started removing debris, to search for the little child.
Fortunately they found Bhuli who survived 116 hours without food in between the ruckus. Brij was very happy to have his sister. He didn’t even thank the officer as he never met him again. From that day, he started to offer free tea and service to all tired travellers who went that side
