I was in class 8th during that time, as this happened back in 2005. My maternal aunt and my 6 year old cousin had come home for a visit. It was a Saturday and my mom and my aunt had gone out shopping early morning while my cousin and I were home alone for the day.
It was a regular morning and my dad had bought me a couple of those hardbound coloured Discovery Channel Encyclopedia books - one on the topic 'Animals' while the other on the topic 'Earth'. We really had nothing to do, and my cousin has always been an inquisitive keen lad, so we opened and started reading the 'Earth' encyclopedia, talking and discussing topics like earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc. I like geography and its fun to answer young kids who instead of annoying and shouting and troubling you around are always up with questions in their heads.
So while going through the pictorial book serially, we came across the second section which was titled 'Earthquakes'. He came up with the obvious question 'Bhaiyya how do earthquakes occur?' and as I was about to answer the question, yes, I felt some tremors and sprang up my bed. I was too awestruck to believe it, he was too young to understand what just happened because it wasn't that big a tremor anyway. I picked him up and ran towards my balcony, only to see that people have already gathered down at the park down my apartment. I immediately locked up my house and ran down the building with my cousin, too shocked and surprised at the coincidence to explain anything to him. That was the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake. Till this day, he still remains the only witness to this baffling little story of ours.

Well it doesn't end here. After a couple of days, late at night while I was in my bed, about to fall asleep, I was thinking about the coincidence which even my parents found hard to believe. Then suddenly, yes again to my surprise, I felt some tremors again. Not sure whether it was some trauma in my head or an actual occurrence I woke up silently and turned on the news, only to find that minor tremors were actually felt all across Delhi that night. I switched off the TV and silently went to bed, sunken and silenced in the horrendous shock of such a crazy re-occurrence.
