Uttarakhand disaster Man-made or Nature's fury?

                              Who is responsible? Is it Nature's fury or Man's arrogant greed? For long have we blamed most of our woes on Nature! We never cared to look at ourselves, at our doings, our endless greed and desire- the bottomless pit! We all need a good tourism spot! We all need luxury! We all need... need... need... At what cost?
