#ChennaiRains

Past few days we have been getting updates about the rain and flood situation in Chennai and other surrounding places. It's very heartening and sad to see so many lives lost and the havoc the rains have caused in these parts of Tamil Nadu and nearby places. Just imagine, the life would have taken a harsh twist in the lives of people affected directly or indirectly in a matter of few days.

At the same time, it is encouraging to see all the help pouring in from all quarters of the country and beyond. Indian defense departments, NDRF, NGOs, companies and volunteers are rescuing those stuck, evacuating danger zones and supporting in whatsoever manner possible in this dire circumstances.

All citizens should come forward to help in whatever ways it's possible, be it the donations in terms of funds, clothing, necessary commodities etc.

And at the same time, other states or city elected representatives should introspect, assess, analyze and plan keeping these kind of adversities in mind. We are sure there are many other states and cities growing(developing?) in haphazard and unplanned ways ignoring all the standard norms while carrying out projects, constructions etc. It's kinda wake-up call for others as well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected and with those who are still fighting the calamity.
