This is Humanity, This is being YOUrself

Chennai, one of the busiest and populated metropolis city with 9 million residents in India. On December 2015, the city faced heaviest rainfall, considered to be the most highest in the past century. This rain was no ordinary, not the kind it rains for few hours and then stops. It rained and rained for days together with constant dark clouds above the city.

  

Within hours rain water started to flood in few places, as the intensity of the rain got higher and higher... the Chennai city was sinking!

The water level rose to 10 feet in some areas while the dams and rivers flooded like ever before.

Nearly 400 people have died and over 1.8 million people have been displaced.

No media covered much and no politicians came.....

Love and Humanity

You are not defined by anything but by deeds you perform.

December 16, 2014, Peshawar witnessed  the deadliest terrorist attack ever to occur in Pakistan, surpassing the 2007 Karachi bombing. Army Public School  was attacked by 7 militants killing 141 people, including 132 schoolchildren, ranging between eight and eighteen years of age.

But hatred cannot conquer you if you have love in your heart.

This woman asked for a really big favour

It is only because she felt comfortable in doing so.

It's Humanity.
