and then i lived once again.
Buried under tons of rubble, in total darkness, without food, water, light, or the ability to move—and with the ceiling hanging precariously just inches above my head—all I wanted was to find my family.
My name is Viral Dalal, an Information and Technology specialist, speaker, and the author of Choosing Light. I was pulled out alive, unscathed, days after the ferocious 7.7 magnitude earthquake.
It was called a Miracle.
Sahjanand Tower, Bhuj(India) where we were vacationing before the earthquake.
After living through the unthinkable, It was only the beginning of my life journey.

“There is something inside us all, that tells us things, sends us signals, and guides us. This sense is always at work, giving us cues. Even though no one told me that I was going to survive, I somehow knew that I was going to be okay.”
