25th April 2015. It was a normal day out in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. People were out in the streets as usual. Tourists were roaming around the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square and other such landmarks of the city. Many locals were out for the weekend. Every thing seemed to be well and pleasant in Nepal until a sudden loud noise was heard and the earth shuddered. Buildings were shaking, things were falling from their normal places and people ran out of their houses in panic. One of the most devastating earthquakes had shaken Nepal. The magnitude of this trembler was a massive 7.8 on the Richter scale. The two minutes long earthquake changed the very face of Nepal and it was indeed a black day. Another black day in the history of Nepal after a long gap of 80 years.
