Anjali,
ReplyDeleteNice to know that you maintain a blog too and also nice to know that you are a health conscious person.
Do you know that I run half marathons regularly and also aim at keeping fit.
Do you know that I led about 10 team members from our team to also run the half marathon in Mumbai this year?
