When is an earthquake a blessing? Or in other words, why are some kids not named Tsunami?

Reuters reports that Manzoor Ahmed Mir of Uri dug with his bare hands for 18 hours to rescue his wife and newborn son after they were trapped under rubble by the earthquake.

Mir has now named his son “Zalzala”, or earthquake in Urdu.

“It’s a blessing from Allah that they are alive. He brought the earthquake with him so I have named him Abid Zalzala,” said the 35-year-old farmer.
