During his college days at NSS College, he polished his talents. The ground in which he along with his friend Ansar B practised those days actually was a private property, which belongs to his college principal. Ansar was one of the first men from Nilamel to take up athletics. The ground is far from perfect, situated on top of a hillock and its unevenness was enough to slow down anyone’s determination. But the positive fact was that if anyone manages to establish suitable timing in this irregular field, he can do better in normal track, and that’s what Anas showed to others.
