Indian bloggers doing their bit 

I could see many bloggers around Chennai and other parts of India doing a better job in publishing how people can help those affected by Sunday’s tsunami than the government and other media. The advantage with bloggers is that they do not have any restrictions unlike the standard web sites that need to follow certain guidelines before publishing anything on the web. Great job guys!

Few links where you can contribute are,
The Hindu - The Hindu Relief Fund
AidIndia.org
Rupya.com

TsunamiHelp is a collaborative blog for News and information about resources, aid, donations and volunteer efforts.

Also Cheque/DD can be sent to: Prime Minister's National Relief FundAddress: Prime Minister's Office, South Block, New Delhi-110001.

People who want to help may send bank drafts/cheques in the name Indian Red Cross Society, New Delhi. One may also deposit cash or relief material at the Delhi office. The society is accepting everything except perishable items and used clothes.

Address: Indian Red Cross Society, 1, Red Cross Road, New Delhi - 110001Phone: (011) 23716441, 23716234

I have already sent a mail to Nanda Kishore S, who is distributing blankets and cloths to victims expressing my willingness to contribute. If you are also willing to donate a blanket write to nandasethuraman[at]gmail[dot]com

Special thanks to my friend Suman Kumar, who is doing his best sitting in front of his computer in Banglore.
