The UV index of the city is already 7 in March, which is considerably bad, temperature had risen to maximum of 35 degree celsius and the pollution levels are increased by 40 per dent than last year"

An alraming situation and the right time for Punekars to come together and bring a change!

At the age of 94, would you like to come on a trek!

A good read to spend the evening!

What would you do when you are 94 years of age? For most of them reading this question, they would actually not be sure of hitting the 90's at all. But here we have a Punekar who is 94 and one can often spot him trekking the Sinhgad on sundays.

N K Mahajan, former principal, navy scout guide amd a vigilant scout himself is not only a Limca holder for paragliding at the age of 88, but he was also invited in Satyamev Jayate - a talk show hosted by Aamir Khan.

An imspiration for the young, secret to N K Mahajan's ypung at heart attitude is quite simple. He says all one has to do to live young is eat half, drink double water, exercise thrice and most importantly laugh four times! At the time when we youngsters live in our 9 to 5 jobs worried about girlfriends, salary hikes and traffic, this young man I must say teaches us that life is not to be lived in stress, it is to be enjoyed!

We at Pune Fast sign off for today with this positive message from this super positive individual!
