Well, today I am talking about a memorable event from my childhood, which is the natural disaster known as the earthquake. It happened when I was seven years old. My friend and I were together in our home, and my mother was cutting my hair in the bathroom. My friend was sitting near me, and we were just telling jokes about someone or something. While my mother was cutting my hair, the bathroom started shaking. I thought it was a dream, but when I felt the same shaking, we went outside. All the people in the village gathered in one place, saying the same thing. It was actually an earthquake that took place at 11:37 a.m. in Nepal. Worldwide, it had a magnitude of 8.5, which destroyed many lives in Nepal and severely impacted the country's economy. Many people became homeless, and many lost their lives. Around 8,000 people lost their lives in this natural disaster. Even now, many people are still in a homeless condition from that incident. I remember it vividly; it was one of the most memorable events that ever happened in my life.
