SUCCESS for many comes when they are obsessed with what they do. Be it in sports, academics, or in any walk of life. It was his obsession to improve that had driven hurdler Tejas Shirse to success. However, that same obsession had become some sort of a kryptonite for the national record holder in recent times. Tejas has been looking to gently let go of that obsession and ensure a healthy flow in his life. And that is paying off. In the recently-concluded Taiwan Open Athletics Championships, Tejas was in his element as he clocked 13.52 seconds, which is not far away from the National record, also his personal best (13.41 seconds). That run also earned him a gold medal.
