R.I.P. Tank

You were always enthu about everything, an awesome photographer. One of my favorite running photographs came via your eyes. Awesome cook, simply used to be a fan of your pepper chicken and all those chilly dishes, was always full of life. Fan of your line "chal karte hain yaar". You have always given me surprises and shocks, your decision to move to Delhi and then today. It is shocking, disturbing.

Somethings would never be the same again......... running is one of them.......

Make a difference - Donate and help fight Cancer

This year Ankita and me are supporting the Sudha Mehta Cancer Foundation, this trust is started by a freind and I have closely seen the kind of work they are doing. The money received from the donation is used to buy Cancer medicines for the poor and needy. A lot of people in our country cannot afford the Cancer treatment, this charity works with them and provides help to them

I am planning to run the following events this year:

1) Kaveri Trail Marathon - 42.2 KM (Marathon):                          
2) Bangalore Ultra 2010 - 50 KM:                                              
3) Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon - 42.2 KM (Marathon):  
4) Auroville Marathon, Pondicherry - 21 KM                               

I have been training hard for all these events and hope to achieve my goal this year.

If you want to support the idea of running for a cause, then I would request you to please pick up any of the above events (one or more) and donate Rs 10 for every Kilometre (or more!) that I run, this would make a huge difference. 

Also if you wish to donate please reply to this mail indicating the event you picked up for donation. So that I am able to track the donations and send you the receipts.

Since it is a new trust, so the payment gateway still needs to be incorporated. However you can initiate a wire transfer or deposit in the bank account or handover the cheque to me

All Donations are tax exempted, I will mail you the reciept for the donation made.

Please mail / call me if you wish to donate, would send a mail with the donation procedure.
