Condolence Message:I am very sorry about the great number of deaths. My condolences to all the families who have lost their loved ones. I think the huge number of loss could have been avoided though we cannot do anything to stop the quake. People should raise their voices against the corrupt builders and the corrupt govt officials. With the growing number of middle class families, the number of people living in big apartment complexes is going up. The government should make the builders responsible for the faulty construction.When one building stands without any cracks and the building next to it collapses like a pack of cards then there is something wrong with the construction.It can happen anywhere. I think what our country needs is a good crisis management whether it is Orissa cyclone or Gujarat earth quake.

Condolence Message: May your troubled heart find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. May God's presence ease your trembling spirit and give you rest. He knows how you feel. He is ever aware of your circumstances and ready to be your strength, your grace, and your peace. He is there to cast sunlight into all of your darkened shadows, to send encouragement through the love of friends and family, and to replace your weariness with new hope. God is your stronghold, and with Him as your guide, you need never be afraid. No circumstances can block His love. No grief is too hard for Him to bear. No task is too difficult for Him to complete. When what you are feeling is simply too deep for words and nothing anyone does or says can provide you with the relief you need, God understands. He is your provider -- today, tomorrow, and always. And He loves you. Cast all of your cares on Him...and believe. Poem by: -- Linda E. Knight My deepest sympathy for all those who have lost their loved ones.

Condolence Message:My deepest condolences to all those are affected. I was wondering if the government can set up a "Gujrat Earthquake Relief Fund" and publish the postal address, Bank A/c No. and other necessary details in all the news papers. By doing this, people who are interested can send in mone/money like to the address. Infact I am searching for an address to send in the cheques. I sent emails to two prominent news paper editors(Deccan herald & Sanjevani) but have not received any replies. If any body has this kind of info please send it my way. Hoping that God will give the strength to all of us to over come the disaster.

Condolence Message:I can't believe the scale of this tragedy. However, I urge people to stop symphathizing and working towards reconstructing Gujarat. There is no point in greiving for people who are no more, but there is a point in working hard to put this tragedy back and rebuild the lives of people who have survived. This reminds me of Japan, which built the second strongest economy from rubbles. Please wipe away those tears and start thinking. Think of how we can work towards building a better Gujarat. Think of how we can get the people who have survived the tragedy to put behing their pasts and live the rest of their lives fruitfully.

Condolence Message:Guys, Just feeling sorry and prayers are not sufficient enough to heel the pain for those unfortunate victims. What needed is a contribution/donation which could help in treating the victimised and providing the shelter to those who are homeless. One of the organisation which I think is reliable in distributing these donations appropriately is red-cross and I guess there might be others as well. http://www.ifrc.org
