Anjali Bhagwat

Shooter

What are you reading currently ?
Dan Brown8217;s Da Vinci Code. I had heard a lot about it from many people. I read a lot of fiction, and like works of Pu La Deshpande Marathi too.

Your most embarrassing moment8230;
At a felicitation function, I was a little distracted and heard the announcer call out 8216;Anjali8217;. It turned out to be another Anjali, but I had already walked up to the stage, and it was very embarrassing for both me and the announcer. I just stood there laughing.

A sportsperson you would pay to watch ?

Would have to be Steffi Graf or as an afterthought even Carl Lewis.

Your pet superstition?

I make it a point to step into the rains right foot first. I avoid the left. I8217;m not very superstitious, and I consciously avoid letting it bother me.

If you weren8217;t a shooter, you8217;d be8230;
A cost accountant, since I was studying for it. I actually never thought of taking up anything else seriously
