Inspiration
Nearly 60 years ago, Mr. Sathish Kumar and Mr. Menon who walked for more than 8,000 miles to the capitals of four nuclear-armed countries - Washington, D. C., London, Paris and Moscow beginning from Mahatma Gandhi's Grave and ending on John F. Kennedy's Grave
Making it into the Kremlin, 10 Downing Street, and the White House didn't make as much of an impression on Mr. Sathish Kumar as the cup of tea he shared with Martin Luther King, Jr. They called it a Walk for Peace.
