CHENNAI - YOU INSPIRED US

The city of Chennai and many parts of Tamil Nadu have received some record breaking rain since a couple of weeks which resulted in flood situation in Chennai, thousands of people got strucked in their homes /airports, railiway stations but while our politicians were raging their voice over nonsense topics like intolerance in parliament, chennaites were showing their tolerance by coming together in the hour of need.

 I am so proud when I wrote this that while there is so much hype over hindu muslim intolerance towards each other in media, there was a student there in chennai named Younus who rescued a Hindu woman, who was suffering from labour pain at the time, from a dangerously stranded place and moved her to a safer place. He set an excellent example of humanity when he took part in rescue operations and saved many stranded people.

While the heavy rains in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu created huge devastation, it also brought people of different caste, creed and religion together. It feels so great to read about thousands of such heroes who came together in this hour of need. I didn’t saw any chennaite blaming any political party at this moment coz they are busy in helping each other. This is what Chennai taught us…They took actively part in rescuing themselves,, they didn’t waited for help but took part in helping other.

Chennai floods showed that there is Tolerance among Indians and we are united……..no matter how much our political parties try to divide us for their own political interests but we Indians are together. It’s a slap on all those who tried to divide us in the name of intolerance. Pics of Art of living workers, RSS activists, Muslims cooking foods in temples and Hindus being sheltered in Mosque are some examples that shows that humanity is above any religion caste or creed and we Indians live proudly under it.
 

I salute these people who are helping in making Chennai to revive its old charm. I am deeply touched by Sex workers from Maharashtra’s who dipped into their savings and survived on just one meal a day to collect Rs 1 lakh, that was donated by them today towards relief work in rain-ravaged Chennai.

I am equally happy to read that financial institutions, banks waived penalty on late EMI payments.Ministry of external affairs too announced if someone’s passport is lost or damaged in floods, PSK chennai will issue u fresh passport free of charge.

 

All these efforts show that we all are together and no one can ever break us in the name of our religion and caste. 

I also salute Indian Defense forces who always act as god sent angels in such disastrous situations. Bravo and kudos to them.

Stay Strong Chennai. You will be back to normal soon. Hats off to you and your fighting spirit. You have united Indians and also sent a strong message that we are together and Life is not just about earning money, its about living together and helping each other.

 

God bless all.
