By
Indian Cricketer Virender Sehwag is a popular man on Social Media these days. His funny tweets also known as 'SEHWAGISM' are always trending. His humour can be seen in the commentary box as well. Lately, he has been in the news for his 'Baap Kaun Hai' tweets referring to the India-Pakistan rivalry. But, he was on a completely different mood on Sunday. Away from his usual dose of humour, he posted about a man he found incredible. He referred to Padma Shri Jadav 'Molai' Payeng, also popularly known as the 'Forest Man' of India. Since decades, he has been planting trees on a sandbar of the river Brahmaputra turning it into a forest reserve also known as the Molai forest after him. It is located near Kokilamukh of Jorhat, Assam, India and encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares. Incredible but true, his forest has deers, rabbits, rhinoceros and also TIGERS. TRULY INCREDIBLE!!! Now, go google him and read about this amazing man.
