Dyala Kumar Thavaratnam doesn’t want his children to grow up glued to their mobile phones and other devices. Neither does he want them cooped indoors, spending hours on end on social media.

Determined that they become well-rounded individuals, Dyala and his wife Sanjugtha Vigneswaran have made it a point to expose their three children to exercise and physical activity from a very young age. Their efforts seem to have paid off handsomely.
