Earth Quake Tremors in Infopark, Kochi on 11th April 2012

Earthquake tremors were experienced at Infopark campus in Kochi yesterday and majority of the employees working in various Infopark companies rushed outside once they got the earth quake alert from the authorities.  Our office at Athulya building Infopark also experienced earthquake tremors and the monitor of my Dell OPTIPLEX 380 was shaking considerably during the quake.

Initially I didn't recognize this as an earth quake tremor and when I told my friends regarding this, they said that it might be due to some movements created by the guy sitting next to me. But again we felt the tremor and the computer monitor was shaking again when send doubts of an earthquake into our minds. Then we saw the bottle of the purified water in our office which was shaking infront of our eyes. The water inside the bottle developed ripples and the bottle was also shaking along with it.

I went outside my office and enquired the security guard regarding this and he said that he didn't feel anything such like that and I returned to my work place. After hardly 5 minutes, we saw the guard rushing to our office and asking all of us to go downstairs as he got alerts of earthquake tremor from Infopark authorities. Hearing this we rushed downwards and when we reached the basement we saw a huge number of employees rushing down from their respective offices.

After spending half an hour at the basement, we all got back to our offices and started surfing the internet and it was then we realised about the huge earthquake that had hit Indonesia. Mobiles started ringing and the near and dear ones were enquiring about the earthquake and we felt really hard to convince that everything is fine at the Infopark Campus in Kochi, Kerala.
