Folks, due to the tremendous traffic this site is attracting, I have made some changes to ensure that my site does not consume all my bandwidth quota. 1) I have cut-down the number of posts appearing on the homepage. Earlier posts appear under ‘Recent Posts‘. 2) I have started a new blog called http://tsunamihelpindia.blogspot.com.I will be posting all related information there, and the good news is even you can post information to this site! If you have any information on relief, victims, or news, just e-mail (from a web-based e-mail service) to sumank.tsunami[at]blogger[dot]com. It will automatically be published on the Tsunami Help India blog. God bless!Write to me: suman ‘at’ sumankumar ‘dot’ com
