A very dear friend of mine, Chandra Gopalan, gave a TED talk at Christ University in Bangalore, recently.  Check out the you tube video at http://youtu.be/K_ssXqX4Oo0 

Very modestly she talks about her achievements as a marathoner, and goads the audience to take up challenges with single mindedness.  Although a mole-hill at times may seem like a mountain, the mind is capable of overcoming obstacles not only in running marathons but also other life situations.  

I’m truly proud to be her friend and very inspired by her achievements!  Cheers to Chandra!!
