Chennai!! A city that withstood tempestuous times. A city that flipped 'the great big flood' the bird. Chennai!!. An ode to those thousands of good Samaritans who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to provide immediate relief measures for a whole city. Chennai, we love you.





                        

                   But there is more. The almost absent media coverage on Cuddalore, equally affected and populated,(even auto-correct is partial. It paints Cuddalore in red and not Chennai)  blatantly highlighted the bias that exists. Our media is becoming increasingly 'Capitalarchial'. Cuddalore exists. It needs help. And our media must make sure that it broadcasts Cuddalore's cries also. And over to the national media. Aamir Khan's intolerance debate with Arnab!

 Arnab, surely you know better. All you did, when your fellow citizens suffered ,was rave about intolerance. We do not demand the answers to the wrong questions,Arnab. We demand you start asking the right questions please.     

               
                         Thousands of people who earn a lot lesser per month than most politicians earn per day provided their service free of cost. These people who've helped, without publicizing their efforts, deserve a special mention. Also, the government's efforts must not go unnoticed. The government acted so efficiently and swiftly that it was able to sticker all civilian relief measures in such a short period of time. Tax money well spent. ( at least spent ;)  ) Too bad the Indian Army doesn't like stickers ;). Last but not the least. The crores of Indian tweeters and whatsappers who watch BBC only. #prayforparis enraged me initially. Our coastline was sinking and people were still praying for Paris. No offence Paris, but the loudest cries are the ones closest to us. And we ought to attend to those desperate cries first. We must sensitize people near us about what is happening here rather than some international sensationalist story. Also, big thanks to all the trollers. Trolls and memes have played a big vital role in spreading awareness with a bit of intended humour. Once again I salute those thousands of faceless nameless people who rose to the occasion and saved the day (*powerpuff girls memories*)

                          Speaking of nameless people, recently saw the most interesting bit of news in a long time. Apparently, a car escaped by itself in the middle of the night, drunk ( a bottle was found in it, empty) and killed a pavement dweller. Salman Khan ought to get a patent for it.
 He could give those scientists working day and night at Google (SK someday maybe!), trying to develop driver-less cars, a run for their money. Thank you, dear high court judge. Now Salman Khan shall peacefully develop more innovative products and save the world.


                        Meanwhile, Yuvraj Singh is making headlines in first class cricket. Selectors please take notice of Yuvi and reinstate him into the team. Yuvi for Jadeja, maybe. India will get the much needed finisher then. (When is the last time Dhoni scored at a strike rate of 200 in the death overs??). Just my opinion. We can always agree to disagree before thinking of hate mails.

                       Thank you for reading people. My first post. Hope to improve and write better.
