While running the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in 2011, Kripa Sagar then aged 45, learnt that the reason why she, and all smokers, got addicted to ci******es was the “feel good” chemicals (Serotonin, Dopamine, endorphins, etc) released in the brain upon smoking a cigarette. “These chemicals give...

Hello World...we are looking for a dietician who'd like to work probono (well...duh!) for my kids. I've been training them, working them hard, but they have arms and legs that look like matchsticks.
Since these are children who are training pretty damn hard, I need a qualified dietician to put together a diet for my kids that will support the heavy training we are putting them.through. Remember, we aim to create world class athletes.
Please help?

Hello World!! I need some support. As my facebook friends know, i have been training several young students to be athletes for awhile now. While we've had problems along the way, one recurring problem is that i don't have a proper place to train.
Finally we hit upon one dusty, uneven open ground opposite the temple in Sector 48 Nerul, Navi Mumbai..and had been training here for awhile.
Now i see that several car owners have started bringing their kids here to teach them driving!!
The amount of dust they raise is unbelievable! I am also worried about what will happen should one of my kids get injured.
When i try to speak to these people they.- the adults - say "so where am i expected to teach my child how to drive, then?" Also - the classic tu nahin jaanta mera baap kaun hai thing - "I know the owner of the ground"
When i went to the police station, the police man says..."where is your permission to train your students here?"
And THIS is why 1.2 billion of us barely have a representation in the Olympics medal tally.
I am at a complete loss.
Someone help me with SENIOR contacts in Navi Mumbai Police/ Cidco / Collectorate ...PLEASE!!

Since it is still Valentine Month, i thought it would be appropriate to share the lovliest love note i have ever received. It is an essay written by one of my students. And is entitled "The Woman who inspired me". Please dont see my sharing of this as an attempt at blowing my own horn. It is but an attempt to show that even if you are just one person, you can make a difference.

The child also sent me a message saying that she was sad that they had a restriction on how much she was allowed to write and that is why she could not write more!!!

Do read.

Hello World - we have had an aha moment! A company doing high level work in the scientific field has come across Take A Breath of Fresh Air's sports coaching initiative. They happened to learn that we are also additionally tutoring the children in Science and Math so that they are able to cope with the upcoming 9th standard. Now...this company is willing to support this coaching. That means my athletes get quality coaching and tutoring, and they will get to stay in school and have many more possibilities ahead of them. Doors will open to them, too. Looking for teachers now. Anyone know one?
