Again, she was very disappointed with her performance even though it was a solid pentathlon but she has got so much room to grow. She is still only 17 years old so it is early days.

Initially, the coaching was just a way of keeping the kids in the housing complex out of mischief. Kalima would have been yet another mischievous brat who failed her seventh standard examination and was about to quit school. But today, she is a graduate with a diploma in journalism.
