Don’t judge a disability by its visibility, as there is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as human! - A Socio-Sci Researcher
We don’t often think about our ability to smile, as a gift. We consider it a given. There are a few, who struggle to express even this basic emotion. Nearly 60,000 babies in India are born every year with deformities that inhibit their smiles.
Through Sachin Tendulkar Foundation (@STF_India), we have been working with a wonderful set of doctors who strive to put a smile back on children’s faces, through cleft lip and palate surgeries.
One of the centres we have been supporting is in Srinagar. During our trip to Jammu & Kashmir, we spent time in Inga Health Foundation’s hospital, interacting with doctors, children and their parents. Listening to the stories of how the surgery has transformed lives of these children was indeed gratifying. Anjali, Sara and I were all smiles after meeting these little heroes. We are happy to have contributed to this beautiful change in their lives.
This is a fabulous piece of ORIGINAL RESEARCH with very deep implications for federalism in India.
CONGRATULATIONS and thank you, Prof. Ramakumar (@ramakumarr) for writing it.
Don’t miss this data-backed, lucid, and important analysis in The Hindu by Professor R. Ramakumar of how States are done out of their rightful share of the net divisible pool of revenues by the Union government and how the practice of fiscal federalism in India is deeply flawed.
Absolutely shocking news. The ever smiling Thiru was a top man. At a time when Indian cameramen weren't yet rated, Thiru made the mid-wicket camera all his own and was excellent. Everytime we met, I would sing out his full name and he would offer his toothy smile in return. Terrible news

I hate to intrude on a quiet Sunday. But history tends to repeat itself when memory fades. We have to spare a moment to remember and to promise ourselves: Never again…. #MumbaiTerrorAttacks
26/11 will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of Mumbai and India. The people who lost their lives and loved ones in the attack will always be in our prayers. I have tremendous love and respect for everyone who fought in the darkest times to control the situation. However much we thank them, it will never be enough.
That day is still so vividly etched in my mind. A day where the indomitable spirit of our country stood strong 🇮🇳 Offering my prayers and remembering the bravehearts we lost on 26/11 🙏🏻 Let's honor their memory by spreading love, unity, and peace ☮️

Congratulations to Australia on their sixth World Cup win. On the most important day of the biggest stage, they played better cricket.
Hard luck Team India, just one bad day in an otherwise sterling tournament can be heartbreaking. I can imagine the agony of the players, fans and well-wishers and what they must be going through. Losses are a part of the sport but let us remember that this unit gave their all for us throughout the tournament.

For too long, women have been underrepresented when it comes to health research and the money spent on that research. We’re changing that.
We announced the first-ever White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, changing how we approach and fund women’s health research.
