01:11When we played a regional meet, we had a win in our NGC.

01:16There were all over India's meets.

01:19First, there was a selection.

01:21You would have a selection in your own region.

01:23Then you would have to go further.

01:26We would have to organize a regional meet.

01:32What competition is now?

02:13It was a round-robin.

02:15We had to play with the other.

02:19We defeated the semi-final.

02:21I also lost my match.

02:23One thing that I saw on social media is that you are becoming a patient.

02:30Because in this age, when people get sick, you are getting fit and playing.

02:35What would you like to give a message?

02:37What would you like to say about fitness?

02:40I would like to say this.

02:43Because you have told me that you are the first of all.

02:48Everyone is the first of all.

02:50Today, everyone is the first of all.

02:52I am the manager of Vipin Baluni.

02:56They have motivated me a lot.

02:59I have been doing too many times.

03:01I am trying to play more than I am.

03:05I am saying that you are self-disciplined.

03:09You are not alone.

03:11You can't do anything.

03:13So, you do a morning, wake up, bedding,

03:16when you are in the morning,

03:18and always the best of all you are in the morning.

03:20At this point, you are the last of all.

03:22I would like to see that.

03:23I always do bedding before myself.

03:25I would drink water,

03:26then drink water.

03:28I started my life after that.

03:32I walk in 5 hours for a walk.

03:36I work for a while.

03:40After that, I run a little bit like 400 meters.

03:46After that, I am an associate with my bandminton club.

03:50I do not do the gym.

03:54How much support your family?

03:59The family has 100% support.

04:02We are now 4 people, but we are still in our job.

04:07We can play with husband's full support.

04:11What should we say about the young generation of youth?

04:15We are seeing obesity or the problems that are coming in today's week.

04:23What would you like to give a message in such a place?

04:28First of all, I would like to say that it is a national property today.

04:36I would like to say that it is a lot of people who are eating pizza, burgers, and junk food.

04:46I would like to say that it is a lot of people who are eating pizza, and they are not eating pizza.

04:54The children should be 100% and 98% of the children should be 100%.

05:02But the children should not be eating pizza.

05:06Today, the government is getting a job.

05:08You should get a gold medal in national.

05:11It is a big time for the children to keep eating pizza.

05:33I feel very good and I think that my age is 66, so I feel a lot of it.

05:40Like in Baluni School, they have given me the information papers.

05:47They have taught me the name Sutler Dadi.

05:50I feel very good in my age.

05:53Gauravpurna, Garimapurna, which also needs to be in this age.

05:57You come from abroad.

05:59What kind of life is your life?

06:04What kind of life is your life?

06:06We don't see the earth.

06:09But our parents come from the earth.

06:13My parents come from the earth.

06:15So I give the earth so much joy to me.

06:18That they will have eaten from that time.

06:22That's what I believe.

06:24That's what I believe.

06:26This human being has had, is our mind.

06:29That's what we have.

06:31That's what our parents have come from us.

06:35That's it.

06:36That's what I believe.

06:38I always remember in my mind that,

06:41I remember what we have done.

06:43I really want to thank them very much because they have a very hard life and they have a hard life, so this is a great thing.
