Chennai- The City I Am In Love With

Why there are tears shed for a city under water. It is a man made disaster and not to take cognizance of what was to come and ignore nature's fury is despicable. The Politicians of all parties share the blame. Shameful.

Chennai- A city in India for those who don't know or never heard of.
