Glad Buljit posted a corrected version. Reading his first post, one cannot decide if the event was in the past or going to be in the future. Looking at the date it read as if it happened on 4th of January, 2011. But then one would have to wonder why it became news a month later? So it seemed like Buljit was using the American system of writing dates--Month/date/year. That could mean it was a prediction for the future, 4th of April, 2011. If it was a future seismic event predicted, which is quite common in desi-science, astrological or otherwise, it could have been an unwise thing to spread.
Bottom line: Brevity does have merit, SOMETIMES! It can be a source of misinformation as well as of NO information.
