Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar inspired us all with his video on Autism. Kudos to him.

Encouragement changes lives. This glimpse of a child’s efforts to learn a skill shows they need our support. Support them, support Autism. pic.twitter.com/L3VRmO7Sg1

Jwala Gutta made her stand clear in the Gurmehar Kaur-Sehwag debacle.

Sad to see sportspersons getting involved without knowing the context of the MESSAGE...that is PEACE!!!
