Sadly I can't do my first fb+ Saturday 😢

Thank you all for joining the drive. I hope you all are doing well. 

Due to the unprecedented rainfall during the week which was highest in 75 years and was worth 2 years of rainfall; we have decided to cancel all drives for this week. 

We will post new drive on Monday and you may join them again. 

I did a drive at 2nd December few days ago after a very heavy rain fall and had a lot of fun, but this is different. Compared to this event the previous rainfall was like watering a garden. Out of abundance of caution we are going to cancel this week’s drive and try our luck next week. Stay safe.
