well,

heart-felt thanks to all of you for the understanding/encouragement given to us. Because of extraordinary support given by you, we did manage to achieve 'harvest today, deliver tomorrow' for quite a few people.

We started with the goal of delivering 200 odd boxes - 25 to bangalore and the rest to chennai.

We managed to deliver all the boxes in bangalore by noon thanks to the tireless efforts of one of our passionate friends/supporters Anaha, Rakhi, and Jaishankar. The first customer to open our bok and chew on our carrots (less than 12 hours after harvest) was Dr. Samar Singh in Bangalore.

Chennai was a different experience though, we had to deliver from Ambattur to Palavakkam - Our truck reached Chennai around 8 AM in the morning and we had 2 delivery teams (headed by R.Venkatesan) starting the delivery process from that time till 10 PM. In spite of our best efforts, we were unable to complete all the deliveries. We even had one of our dear friends/well-wisher Krishna, who performed over 10 deliveries till late in the evening. We faced typical problems like people not answering their phones, wrong-contact numbers, improper addresses, not being at home, and the usual difficulty of locating addresses in chennai.

We did not complete deliveries to around 30 homes, if you are one of them - please accept our sincere apologies. We are getting our non-delivery lists and are planning to distribute the rest of the boks today, free of charge. All our boks are in Nungambakkam - and 2 delivery vehicles will be used to deliver them today; we recognize that traffic today will be more painful, but we are committed to honoring our responsibility. A few friends, notably Vijaykumar has volunteered to pickup the boks from Nungambakkam itself.

We started with a dream, and with your active participation, it has become real, Thanks.

After completing todays deliveries, we will take some time to review what has happened and plan on the future course of action. We'll keep you informed. In the meantime, when you get a chance, do visit us in our houseofkodai.
