Japan, which has suffered its worst natural disaster since the Second World War. An earthquake, tsunami and now a nuclear crisis is most certainly a deadly combination. How do they navigate their way out of this murky ground? A hard reality to comprehend because Japan, for a very long time was the world’s second largest economy before it was overtaken by China a few weeks back. In this time of national grief, the world is still in need of Japanese technological products. If anything has pained me, it is the suggestion that God is punishing the Japanese and all the insensitive comments, post and tweets by stars and ordinary people. Advice, a little sensitivity goes a long way. This could have happened anywhere in the world. It is unfortunate that it happened in Japan and to the Japanese.  But this much I am certain of, the Japanese rebuilt their nation after WWII, I have no doubt that same resilience will serve them well once again. However, I would strongly suggest they reconsider their dependence on nuclear energy because never again, should we witness another Chernobyl disaster.
