India Helps is the Indiblog (ger) of the Month

Yup. We won! Yaay!

We gathered 25 votes. I'm still in an OMIGOD I can't believe it kind of frame of mind.

Renie Ravin from Indiblogger called to let me know India Helps had won and for a good first three seconds I had my brain scan-matching friend's voices to check who could be bluffing me. But this is the real McCoy.

All ye who took time out to vote for us, thank you on bended knees. All those who jumped right into India Helps when I started out with a blog and a hope to help, you are my backbone. Here's wishing we do make a positive difference to lives brutalised by disaster.

Thank you and do keep reading us and writing in.

Thank you Anand, for the help in raising awareness about Ahana's
