So I took part in the 10 km charity walk organised by Footsteps4good. To take part in the event, participants needed to make a donation to a charity of their choice and my company decided to go with Magic Bus. Magic Bus is an NGO that uses Activity Based Curriculum (ABC), a unique model that  uses games to make change. The games excel in building physical, social and personal skills.

Coming back to yours truly, I honestly went there for a lark. D was all enthusiastic about taking part in the event and some of her infectious enthusiasm rubbed off on staid old me and in a moment of madness I signed up for the walk, all the while thinking, "I'll walk for a couple of kilometers and then beat it, no one is going to notice a missing walker.' What I had not bargained for was that fact that half the junta at the walkathon had the same thought process. 

However I can proudly say that I not only completed the 10 km walk I did it in good time - 1 hour 53 minutes... my personal best record. Also thanks to this event, come January 2013 I might just be able to run on behalf of an NGO at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon!!!

Cheers to life...
