Half a decade since my last triathlon I can't say how delightful I was to make it through the swim last Sunday morning. 5 years is a long time and for those who have shy-ed away from triathlons due to life/career commitment, I feel you. I have continued taking part in races even when I... Continue Reading →
Joan of Arc, Napoleon Bonaparte, Dr. Faiz Khaleed, Leon Gabrowsky-- what do these names have in common ? They were all once youth, and peaked in their respective careers and lives as youths.

It brings out the richness of life and the story we as individuals and like-minded souls are able to tell as we venture and discover the world.
