Chennai has been worse severely hit & these are lessons learnt from #chennai floods & rains 2021

Nature is the most powerful force in the universe.

Prayers stay with you if you invest in them.

A positivity mindset is key to survive hard times.

People help each other out when there is time of need!

Manual labourers need to be treated with much more respect.

The city requires a lot of work and only depending on the government is totally absurd.

A bunch of studios and big apartments motored out water to the streets. How much ever rich they get, a responsible mentality is never attained!

@mantra4change & @suriyafoundati2 supported by @zerodhaonline distributed 1000 grocery (ration) kits, 1000 dry food kits, 1000 blankets & towels, 300 tarpaulins for shelter houses, 1000 health and hygiene kits. We fell short & realized that the demand was more and supply was less

What we realized was the fact that help reached only the central part of the city whereas the outskirts were ignored. The entire team vacated #semanchery fishermen's colony with a heavy heart even as people chased our vans requesting for food.

The entire media's focus is on #northchennai but the outskirts have been ignored and people in tsunami rehab camps are suffering to this day. The satisfying thing were the smiles on people's faces after they rcvd their supplies.

We thank the 97th Batallion of #RAF (CRPF) for helping us distribute the relief materials. Our gratitude to commandant Erick Gilbert Jose and his men who kept us safe at all times.
