Brilliant tons by Sunil Ramesh and captain & skipper Ajay Kumar Reddy allowed the team to beat Bangladesh, clinching a 120-run victory over Bangladesh at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in #Bengaluru.
"For the visually impaired people, cricket is still not a career. I am grateful to God that I could complete my graduation, get a job & have my own family. Not everyone is as fortunate.
Had it not been for Cricket Association of Blind in India (CABI), we wouldn't have been where we are.", says world record holder & captain of the #IndianBlindCricketTeam.
For the uninitiated, #blindcricket has a team of 11 players comprising 4 fully-blind, 3 partially-blind and 4 partially-sighted players.
The players use a plastic ball instead that is fitted with ball bearings to make a noise on throwing. The wickets on the ground are made of metal tubes, where all 3 are attached together.

(1/4) To encourage farmers to stop #stubbleburning, Udhami Kisan self-help group in Khosa Pando village of #Punjab's Moga district set a unique agro-machinery bank.
(2/4) This bank provides agro-machinery -- such as Mulcher, Happy Seeder, Bailer, Zero Drill and Roto Seeder -- at a nominal rent to manage crop residues, particularly #paddy#stubble.

The gift of a warm shawl, a sweater, a blanket or even just thick socks may seem small to us, but it makes a big difference to those with no other protection from the brutal cold of winter.

Besides luck, the only thing that got me here was a deep passion for technology and an open mind.
Be open, be impatient, and be hopeful. You have the chance to change everything. Realise that the progress of one generation becomes the foundational premise for the next.
And it takes a new set of people to come along and discover all the possibilities.
There are things about technology that frustrate you and make you impatient. Don't lose that impatience.
