Many physically challenged children in their wheel chairs also braved the afternoon heat to welcome their hero.
All of them were from 'Vidyasagar', formerly known as the Spastic Society of India. They were there beacuse Anand is their brand ambassador.
Even the visiting cards that Anand uses is made by the children of 'Vidyasagar'.
It is customary for Anand to visit Vidyasagar and play chess with the inmates every time he visits Chennai. No wonder they were so excited to meet him.
