Hi Archana,

I cant agree more with Jaya, you really keep surprising us! I was actually more 
surprised when you suddenly decided to move to London on a hunch, atleast that 
is what appeared to me! I am sure there may be some tangible reasons for doing 
that since it is never easy to leave one's family and stay alone!

Well, my achievement or should i say i can brag about one such incident and 
that is the gym! Couple of years back there was some sort of fitness test in 
our gym and i was told that i was the best runner.I ran about 2.88 k in 12 
minutes, i was flattered more to know about this one since none of the 
instructors who are 18-19 could do this then. I guess many of you can do this 
but somehow i felt like sharing this since there was nobody in the gym who 
could do it then. But now the irony is that i have injured the menescus of one 
of my left knee due to weight training and although i have applied for the 21 k 
marathon in December I am not sure whether i will be able to take part! Lets 
hope i can do it somehow!

Chalo bahut pakaya, it is hot here in Boston today, very hot infact! 

Take care all of u!

Archana, I am truly amazed/surprised at your talents. Such a wonderful writer + 
now a great dancer too. You never cease to surprise us.

Go GIRL.
