From #SingaraChennai to #SigaramThodumChennai - we will transform!

We salute you! We love you! Thanks for standing with us - Chanceye illa !
***********************************************************
I was in tears today, when I heard this radio jingle. (Listen - don't miss it ... Vanakkam Chennai Vaazhavekkum Chennai - An audio tribute to Chennai by Rj Shaan)


The jingle captures the true #SpiritOfChennai and not the misery.  Was happy that India knows the #SpiritOfChennai and what #NammaMadras,  #SingaraChennai stands for even in misery. We are Chennai; we are proud of what we are and we are proud of you who stood with us.

I am happy to live in a time such as this, to see the benevolence of true India - An India which gives and cares. An India which shares what it has, going beyond region and religion. An India which is intolerant towards misery and human suffering. An India which has no caste, creed, race or discrimination in saving lives.

An India that sacrifices self and lifts the others!

I am proud of those stars who dirtied their hands in serving!
I am proud of those sex workers (I wish I can get a humane term) who sacrificed their meals to serve a meal !
I am proud of the young man who lost his life to rescue many!
I am proud of the many who went in searching for the missing!
I am proud of the prisoners who made those chapatti's !
I am proud of the men in uniform who rescued thousands !
I am proud of the old lady who could say I am fed, can you share it with others!
I am proud of the Chennai which said we will rise, as the flood rises!
I am proud of the Chennai which said we are not sinking, about to shine!

Floods will never drown Chennai! Chanceye illa !

We will rise!
Chennai is Rising! 

From #SingaraChennai to #SigaramThodumChennai - we will transform!

Chennai is grateful to the many who stood with it.
We owe our lives to you! Chennai remains open to you, as always!

Keep helping Chennai. #HelpChennai

Unseen heroes #HelpChennai - What about you ! 

Unseen heroes #HelpChennai - What about you ! ********************************************* More rains has washed this city over the last few days. However, that has produced more #Volunteers. Rain waters have turned an ordinary citizen into ’live saving heroes’. These heroes have faced quiet an ordeal. I am proud of these true citizens of India. They don’t need a #NationalMedia coverage or debate. For sure, they don’t want the nation to answer the big questions. They weren’t waiting for 2000 Crores. They didn’t wait for an aerial view. A team visit and assessment by bureaucrats wasn’t required for them to respond. They didn’t look at their tax contributions. In fact, they don’t care whether their employers will do their contribution or CSR. They heard the cry and they were there to support and save lives! Period. A hero, helped his friends family with basic supplies. Then starts on with caring for his neighborhood. He has inspired to touch more than 2000 lives. During this rel

Chennai is Rising though #NationalMedia forgot #ChennaiFloods

Chennai is Rising though #NationalMedia forgot #ChennaiFloods ***************************************************** #NationalMedia you don’t get sensational with relief work.  Do you? The nation really wants to know why do you exist. Just fyi - Chennai and TN - we are part of India. We feel proud to be part of India though you forgot the misery of thousands of flood victims across Tamil Nadu. You made stories out of the human misery as a breaking news. However, you fail to see the need for relief and rehab in ground zero (real - not the computer generated one ). Wish 'today' 'India' realizes how you galvanize us to things that are important for your well-wishers (advertisers) and movers and shakers (I saw a picture of one such man going by boat in his lungi with a smart phone and another had a miserable sendoff). Since you are failing as a "fourth estate", "fifth estate" we are making our voice heard in the wilderness. You have forgotten

What happens to Jesus if he does not look like Christian Bale or Jim Caviezel?

Religion and religious have always sought a way to fix their mind on their God(s). Some of the orthodox churches are no exception to it. They have always included an image, statue, idol, and iconography part of their rituals and as an identification of religiosity. Propelled by Renaissance, with the power and wealth of Roman church, the artists went about expressing their mental image of Jesus (Yeshua * ) in an elegant and princely manner. Over a period of time Yeshua has become more westernized in our mind than what He was. We have idolized Yeshua with looks of Christian Bale, Jim Caviezel and the likes. However, now, the forensic experts have come up with an image of Yeshua — The Jesus, which can really puzzle your mind and your spirituality. There is an element of imagination that goes into our interaction with God. This being the fact, will you believe Yeshua in the form that your mind might see in future. I believe this is the very reason Yeshua always said and focused o
