asato mā sad gamaya, tamaso mā jyotir gamaya, mṛtyor māmṛtaṃ gamaya (Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light & from the dead to the immortal) We live in uncertain times. Global warming threatens to change the world as we know it. Violence is robbing our children of their innocence. Is there a solution?   EDUCATION – The only solution to help children see the real, experience the light & dream of becoming role models.   The Kotak Education Foundation is leading the way to prepare underprivileged children for tomorrow’s challenges. They educate students in spoken English, address their health issues & train teachers of partner schools. Vocational training and placement assistance makes the students world-ready. I am running my first Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM) and have decided to raise funds to support the Foundation’s cause. Having completed two half marathons (21.097 Kms) in the last two years, I am excited to run in the prestigious event this time around. I have been preparing for this marathon by training rigorously over the last several weekends. My target for completing the half marathon is 2 hours & 30 mins (if achieved, this will be my personal best!). I appeal to you to support & donate towards my cause. Every rupee counts & your contribution matters to me! Your contribution will be eligible for deduction under Section 80G.
