Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people's physical fitness and mental prowess.

I do cook whenever the time permits. But my daughter Isha is a much better cook than I am.

I believe primary and secondary education is the bedrock of any sustainable society.

Every child has a right to education as much as to life, and every woman the right to live.

Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

My background is that I came from a middle class family, and I think those values stay where ever you go.

My reason and inspiration to lose weight and stay fit is my youngest son, Anant, who is fighting obesity. I would like to be an example for him.
