New Delhi, Jan 27 : Long distance runner Sudha Singh, who was picked for the Padma Shri in the 2021 honours' list, is so fiercely focussed on her dream of winning an Olympic medal that she hasn't visited home in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, for well over a year -- and has been training in national camp.
The last time, 34-year-old Sudha, a former national 3,000 metres steeplechase record holder but is now concentrating on marathon, visited home was in December 2019. Mobile phone is her closest companion for keeping in touch with her family.
