Weathering the Storm in Erasma
narrates the adventures of a young man Prashant who was marooned on a rooftop
for two nights following a dreadful storm.
Prashant had gone to the coastal
town of Erasma in Orissa to spend a day with his friend seven years after his
mother’s demise. It was that fateful day the storm lashed in full fury with
heavy wind and rain. Trees were uprooted and water entered neck deep inside the
friend’s house. For two days, everyone took refuge on the roof till the
situation calmed down a bit.
Although everyone tried to pursue Prashant to stay for a few more days as the situation had not fully settled, he was determined to move ahead. Using a stick to guide him, he waded his way through the water to his village, eighteen kilometers away. Once there, he sought the assistance of Red Cross to find out the whereabouts of his family. Slowly, he found each one of them.
Prashant helped the people of his village byfirst getting a grip over himself because he was initially shocked on witnessing the after effects of the cyclone. He decided to step in as the leader of his village. He organized a group of youths and elders to jointly pressurize the merchant to given rice for the people living in the shelter. He was successful in this task. His next task was to organize a team of youth volunteers to clean the shelter and to tend to the wounds of the people who had been injured because of the cyclone.
