She also talked about the importance of running to stay fit all along her long and chequered career.
Jhulan Goswami said “In today’s age, fitness and sports are equally important for the wellbeing of one’s mind and body especially for students. Determination, discipline and perseverance must be maintained to reach whatever goal you have set for yourself. But for that one needs to maintain a healthy mind and a fit body. Use the negativity as your motivation and change it through positive attitude. Running is the basic of all sports and is the easiest way to remove toxicity from your body. Keep running towards your goal.”
