Hello Pasupathi, I’m doing well and so is my family, thank you! That so interesting about your tennis racket, that you got it back. It was definitely worth leaving it behind so save your life and then to get it back a week later.

Pasupathy was lucky but my uncle was not. My uncle was a school head master in a government school. May his soul rest in peace. Thanks pasupathy for your courage. Thanks Matthew for this blog. ]]> By: Matthew T Raderhttps://matthewtrader.com/tsunami-survivor-story#comment-10028 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 05:41:33 +0000 http://infinitemagicphoto.com/?p=359#comment-10028 In reply to Radhika.

Me too, even though it has been several years that has passed, people are still suffering from it. Thank you for your comment and I agree, we are certainly very lucky to still be here.

Hi Cindy B ,Also in you tube just search for “Karaikal tsunami ” you will be able to see the river in one of the South Indian city named karaikkal where river reverts back from sea in a gigantic scene. also search for the term “kanyakumari tsunami” which shows a giant 133 feet statue(called as “Thiruvalluvar silai” in Tamil Language )being overshadowed by the splashing waves of tsunami. Near that statue lies a rock memorial (called as “vivekanandar paarai ” in Tamil Language )from where almost 500 to 800 people were rescued . kanyakumari (called in Tamil )is the city (called as cape comerin in English) which is the starting point of India .

It’s like I relived the situation in my mind and it gave me chills! Can you imagine going through something like that? Sometimes I wonder if I would’ve done the same thing he did. I definitely would’ve dropped the tennis rackets and climbed a tree or building, but I don’t know if I would’ve been as aware as he was when he pick a tree that was stationed behind a building. Now, that’s what I call a survivor! Grabbing the little boy was a such a heroic move…because he could’ve very easily just ignored him and concentrated on saving his own life. Thanks man, I’m going to email this to some friends of mine if you don’t mind. ]]> By: Amandahttps://matthewtrader.com/tsunami-survivor-story#comment-10017 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:14:04 +0000 http://infinitemagicphoto.com/?p=359#comment-10017 Wonderful story!!

Great photos.. and what a story. I can only imagine that to this day and for the rest of his life that the sound of rushing water will trigger this memory for him. How beautiful that he was able to save a boy’s life…and that he was wise enough to know that those tennis rackets are worth nothing compared to a life. Thanks for sharing. That’s so cool you were able to revisit the scene with him for the very first time. ]]>
