Sir, saw a girl using video calling to communicate with her mother at Ghatkopar Railway station. I was literally overwhelmed. Technology to enable and further lives is the best form of educational implementation

Few days back I was discussing the same with my friends, how the internet calls have helped the people with disabilities to communicate and also enjoy the smaller things in life with ease of a touch.

Anand Mahindra, an active Twitter user, often shares thoughtful, funny and touching clips with his 7 million followers. Just a few weeks ago, he served up some Friday morning motivation with a kabbadi video that impressed many. Before that, it was a picture of children playing carrom in the mud that the businessman hailed as "inspiring".
