If the events of the past few days are any indication, there is no doubt that our city will regain more than what it lost.

[ChennaiRainsOrg AID @AidOffered]

We are therefore closing this handle so that we can focus @chennairainsorg's efforts on changing on-ground realities.

[ChennaiRainsOrg AID @AidOffered]

As we tweeted from @chennairainsorg, situation has changed now on the ground, and we believe we have a different role to play.

[ChennaiRainsOrg AID @AidOffered]

We'd like to say thanks, but we won't - for that'd separate us, and didn't we just prove togetherness was a virtue we can never abandon?

[ChennaiRainsOrg AID @AidOffered]

We've received aid offers so numerous, it overwhelmed our small team many times over. But it was a burden we were willing to bear.

[ChennaiRainsOrg AID @AidOffered]

Nature may have battered us, but we showed that a spontaneous outpouring of love will go a long way in applying balm to our bruises.

What we witnessed in the past few weeks is not just elements wreaking havoc on a land, but also its people coming together to survive it.
