Chennai Cheered Earthquake, Floods, Cloud Bursts, Tsunami, etc can only take away our wealth and property but not the spirit which binds us all together. Recent Chennai flood presented the similar example, a city broken by excessive rains, loss of life and property stood again by his unity, courage, hope and love. Salaam Chennai.  Pillows, mattresses, curtains, bed sheets, drown life's saving. Love, courage, hope, unity, but strengthen in the raining. Help poured from every corner faster than the water, First humans came for humans, government arrived later. Temple,mosques and churches, showed their real aim, humanity is the truest faith, God - only a name.

Chennai challenged,collectively contacted, thus Chennai cheered, City flooded but the spirit remain intact, thus Chennai cheered.

We can only pray that Suraj Dada ( Sun God ) shower some mercy on us by reducing His intensity of anger. This poem in Hindi is pleading to him to have mercy in spite our mistakes of cutting down trees and increasing pollution. रहम करो सूरज दादा ! अपना गुस्सा करलो आधा।  सूखने लगी नदिया रानी, तड़पत हैं हम बिन पानी।  Raham karo suraj dada! Apna gussa karlo aadha. Sookhne lagi nadiya rani, Tadpat hain hum bin pani. माना पेड़ हमने काटे, सारे जंगल आपस में बाटे, प्रदूषित कर के जल-वायु, ख़तरे में डाल...
