The chance to interact with a young rapper who battles cerebral palsy is not an opportunity that Dino James was willing to miss. "We have been told that he is called the God of hip-hop, and raps well. [When the team] reached out to me, I was excited to interact with him," says James, known for tracks like Dooriyan and Sunn.

James, who had the chance to watch videos of Ajay Kumar Jhamb - part of Communicare, the educational arm of a non-profit working for children with special needs - ahead of their interaction, calls him "gifted".

"What you see in him is God's blessing. Having watched him rap, I can say that I don't think there is anything that he cannot achieve. [Moments like these] make you introspect. One realises the importance of small things."
