2009 : Where do you run , a runner friend asked . I said Eastern Express Highway , where is it he asked . I replied Mulund and he said tab toh passport lagega wahan aane and then all of them laughed. I wondered , will it be possible to spread awareness of running in this part of Mumbai . But was amazed to know Satish is from Mulund , sayuri is Mulund , Babu is from Mulund , Nataraj is from Mulund and they are all serious runners .
