Mumbai: While people from different walks of life participate in the Mumbai Marathon every year, there is one man who has become an inspiration to many. Known fondly as the ‘Turbaned Tornado’, 104-year-old Fauja Singh who retired from the marathon three years ago, expressed his happiness to participate in his second Mumbai Marathon on Sunday.

“I am very much delighted and happy to participate in the marathon. I want to congratulate the company which is organising this marathon. I am very happy to be a part of it,” Singh told the media.
