Story of a Chaiwala Martial Arts Teacher
I am Raju Jadhav.
I lost my parents very early on and came to Bombay at the age of 6 with a relative. I began begging at signals since that age and eventually became a ragpicker. I've had a tough time on the streets, where I couldn't defend myself on many occasions and had no food for days -- Bombay isn't friendly to us street rats. A few years later, when I was rag picking, a man came upto me and asked me if I wanted to work at a chai stall-- and I immediately agreed! I began selling tea, and making my own money after working for almost 12 hours a day.

Sportsmanship at its best
Australian tennis player Lleyton Hewitt may have won Tuesday night’s Hopman Cup match in Perth, Australia, but the real winner — in terms of sportsmanship — was his American opponent, Jack Sock, who encouraged him to challenge a serve declared “out” that was actually in.
Dr Vishal Rao - The Man Giving Voice and Smile to millions
Speaking is a right. When the voice box of patients is removed during surgery, they crave to speak. As if the trauma of the disease is not enough, the shock of having lost their voice takes a toll on them, emotionally. The prosthesis available in the market costs Rs 20,000 (to be changed once in six months) and is not viable for many poor patients.

An Extraordinary Visit to India- To Find a Girl with a Pink Bracelet
Chris Bray and his wife Jess recently visited India — but this was no
ordinary December visit. They were here with one very specific
mission in mind: to locate a girl and her family. Dick Smith
showed Chris a photo he had taken from a train.
The photo was of a homeless family living under a bridge, and included
a little girl who wasn't wearing anything but a pink bracelet.
Dick wanted Chris and Jess to go to Vadodara (where the photo
was taken) and find the family, who he wanted to help with accommodation,
education for the girl, and a bank account into which he could
regularly transfer money for the family. Talk about the spirit of Christmas
giving! This is the story of Jess and Chris’s whirlwind India visit:
