My foolhardiness knows no bounds. Its always been like this. In school, I used to take up extra work, assignments because I loved studying.

Yes. I joined the bandwagon, I ran a half marathon when I am just reaching thirties. I also must be one of those n people who are penning down things that flashed through their mind as they drudged kilometer after kilometer. So to set the records straight, I have wanted to take up one sport…
