A picture of the building where our family stayed the day of the earthquake. Two wings of the building crashed to the ground, splitting it apart.
This picture was taken a few days after the earthquake. Two lower floors were crushed, and laid below ground level. I was pinned under the 40+ foot rubble of steel and concrete.
4½ days after the earthquake, I was rescued after about an hour of digging by the incredible IRC team.
“I don’t want to go the hospital, because I first have to find my family”
After being rescued, I was sent to the make-shift hospital for a medical checkup. I returned to the site in about half an hour to find my family.
The night after I was rescued, I sat nearby, waiting, while the heavy machinery was shut down due to lack of light.
Good times with the family. From left: My mother, Roshan (my brother), I and my father.
The day I left for the U.S. for further studies. A day of mixed emotions for my family. I returned to India during the winter break(15 months later).
