Lo Chala main!

कल तो बस इन्तहा ही हो गयी, में एक जगह कोरमंगला में चालीस मिनट तक खड़ा रहा जी हाँ में कार से था  , इतना जादा में कभी नहीं झल्लाया. कार में बैठे बैठे मैंने सोचा की इस से अच्छा तो में साइकिल पर रहता हूँ, हस्ता खेलता जल्दी घर तो पहुँच जाता हूँ, और व्यायाम भी हो जाता है , तो आज सुबह उसी योजना के तहत  मैंने बीवी को कार ले जाने को बोला, मुझे लगता है की अगर बंगलोर में कहीं कार ले जाने का फायदा है तो वो इलेक्ट्रोनिक सिटी है क्यूंकि पिछले ४ साल से उसकी बंद बजी पड़ी थी, पर हाँ अब उच्च राज्य-पथ के  आ जाने के बाद कोई भी शख्स मात्र २० मिनट में वहां पहुँच सकता है !

तो बीवी गयी कार से और में आज हस्ता खेलता आया साइकिल से, बड़ी ही आनंदमय सवारी रही और में कार से जल्दी भी पहुँच गया. मुझे तो लगता है की आजकल पूरा बंगलोर ही खुदा पड़ा है, पर यह नगर निगम वाले भी मुझे हर बार अचंभित कर देते हैं, यह पूरे शहर में एकसाथ इतने सारे निर्माण कार्य कैसे शुरू कर सकते हैं..... खैर मुझे क्या करना में तो चला अपनी साइकिल पर!!!!

Running Log

The first week of training for the Mumbai marathon 2011 and the Bangalore Ultra 2010 has been good. I managed 55 km of running and apart from this biked to work and managed around 42 km on the saddle. Ran 20K with Vishy, Prateek and Bhasker on saturday. It was an awesome effortless run, I loved it. Also Vishy made his awesome comeback, the longest he ran after February and, did a 20K at 6:38 pace! wow !!! I think you are already in great shape! Congrats Vishy.

Did a fun run with Rohit on Sunday, followed by a breakfast at egg factory though missed the BHUKMP gang on both the days

I am pretty excited about the training this time. Meher is burning the midnight oil in putting the right plan in place.... I think we will freeze it by the end of the week and hit the trail!

Moving on

So the sunfeast 10K 2010 is over now. And hence starts my training for the Ultra 2010 and Mumbai marathon 2011 again!

Ran Sunfeast 10K with Ankita, where she got her PB. Very happy for her, and it was a very good idea to run with her, I gave her the much needed push after 8th KM

Congrats BIWI!

Congrats Priyanka, Meghana (who is running stronger than ever) & Anjana for your PBs

Congrats Rajaram for a good timing!

Capital punishment

So finally the entire nation is overjoyed and rejoicing, the reason, well Kasab has been given a capital punishment. Well to be very frank I don’t think that this is anything great, it really doesn’t matter, you have granted him whatever he was praying to god all this while. Moreover he came to India to die, his bosses just don’t care whether he lives or he dies.

He is a very minute particle in this dust of terrorism, I think we should have kept him alive and tried extracting more secrets / type of trainings he has undergone etc. Even if he is of no use in all those terms, we should have kept him alive and let him die on his own, in a dark cell….. alone……. I think spending on Kasab makes more sense rather than a clown like Raja (the telecom minister) eating all the tax payer’s money
