THOUGHTFUL DEBATE

Dear Parents, Rome was not built in a day, so is career. We need to add one brick at a time, every academic year is like laying a brick. Std Xth and Std XIIth are one of the few bricks , which we add . Yes, they are final bricks to the 1st step and stepping stone to whole new brave world.

April, 2017 and few months away from 50 years completion in September 2017, I decided I am going to run, and not just run.....I am going to run a  Tata Mumbai Marathon  Half-Marathon (21 KM). Once decided I knew , I had to do it.
