thak gaya yaar....aur kitna daudoo...

i saw.... i registered... i ran...

Hi folks...

I was talking about the sunfeast 10k run that was held on 18th may i.e, two days back. I have participated in the majja run(5.7 km) and i have successfully completed the run in 35 min...

The run was great entertainment... apart from the scorching heat...( my legs are still sore though) there was more than one reason to ... contemplate and complete the run... kingfisher (courtesy : vijay mallya) provided unparalleled entertainment all thru the run and the day before that too... (i guess you people know what i am talking about)

There were more than 5000 participants all round and it was surely a moment i would cherish all throughout my life that i had participated in the richest 10k run on the planet( Hey!!! i didn't say that... the publicity guys said that...). One of my friends, Uma Shankar also participated with me..... thanks to him... for waiting for me... to complete the race with him...

One thing we noticed was... we were surely unfit... for a 10k run or more... we needed more stamina....to do that...


All in all... great experience... money's worth... and much more...


Next time something like this happens.... we decided that we would go for the 10k for sure...

Cheers to sunfeast and Cheers to kingfisher especially...

we hate each other... and love more than that...

My previous post has been long back in february while i was reading the book inspite of the gods...
and it was about an atrocious act in Godhra in 2002. But those atrocious acts come into the lime light and not the incidents which make india such a great country...

Recently i started reading a book called Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and ... i stumbled upon a strange statement...

"What would happen if as many French or American people as the number of Indians were allowed to stay in a place as small as India. They would kill each other ..for space..."

It is only the love for each other in Indians that allows them to live in a place like India. The author describes an incident where he travels in a local train in Mumbai which is as crowded as it can be and to his bewilderment nobody actually complains. If you have been ever to Mumbai ...
you would know how much you have to adjust to travel in a second class compartment in the local train.


I have just completed some 100 pages out of the 900 odd page book... and i am loving it like hell...

Keep watching... more to come on this book.

a blood stain on the virtue called humanity...

It was more than just a lump in my throat when i read the article about the mass killings in gujarat in 2002 . This gross act was an exhibition of demonic behavior at the highest level. People were killed(many infact were burned to death), treated grossly, and were left homeless.

I know that most of us are aware of this gruesome act and it has been almost 6 years now that it has happened, but it makes me feel how cruel the world around me is.

I was discussing this with one of my friends and she says that ... this is a phase in the process of civilization of mankind and it was evident that incidents like these happen in a multi religious nation like India. If this was true... then the very meaning of civilization is defied. Man is progressively becoming a beast.

A wise man once man said that religion is a belief on the basis of which you live your life. Fortunately for him he is not alive to see these atrocious human acts....

ooh la la... wonder la... ooh la la.. wonder la...

what more could you expect from life.....!!!!

weekend.... wonder la and ... above all... wonder la.. with few of my best pals...(we...the tripod...)

it's like.... the best weekend.... i ever had...

what do u say when somebody... pays 600 bucks.... to get into rides where u... are held hanging uspide down... where u ... are twisted in every other direction.... and where... u are thrown.. down a vertical passage into the pool of water...

u may call it crazy... i, we call it fun... and jus not fun... it's more than fun( if something like that really exists)

the day... i mean yesterday... started off by the journey to the "wonder" la... ( it's actually the biggest amusement park. .. in india... or atleast they claim so...!!!!)

the first half of the day... was spent all screaming.. getting nailed...(or rather getiing high... by screaming loud) by enjoying the dry rides...

maverick providing the perfect start.... and Y scream ... like icing on the cake... (to be frank with u folks...i cudnt stop myself from getting scared... i was feeling nauseous... after the first two rides... so i took two to three rides.. off... which my hooligan friends ,,, described to be awesome experiences... but then had my body twisted in the twister and crashed many a car in crazy cars!!!

then the other half of the day... was when we were all wet and rolling... jumping and dancing...

the weavy and vertciall jumps..... the crazy lazy river... the halo formation and crazy exercises in the wave pool... and the bizarre dance steps.. in the rain disco...

and those hot chicks all around... oh!!!!! god... don ask...

And like a perfect ending to the roller coaster ride... it was musical fountain show followed by a laser show...

Every muscle and every bone in my body aches like hell.. now... but i feel like a masochist now...

like the Mcdonald's......"i am loving it(the pain)..."

if only i had better eye sight... i would have got a good view of wonder la... (unfortunately i was restricted from carrying specs wid me... )... but no regrets.....

Ooh la la ... wonder la....

I made another mistake...

Yes folks... another mistake...

in fact few of my mates who made the mistake of watching "the shootout at lokhandwala" were my companions in "that" another mistake....

that was some day... after a tiring day of work... .. ehmm.......err... i mean for my friends... (not for me)

when we decided to go to the Garuda.. to just chill out.. and when the crazy idea of going to a movie sprouted in our minds..... and the rest was a blunder....

We went to the inox to see which movies were screened and "somebody" came up with name "Shoot'em up"... ( i still wonder why nobody thought that it sounded like the earlier shootout movie... sadly... we were carried away by the paradox that most english movies actually are ... i would say ok)

So... till the movie started ... i was expecting a cowboy story.. like the quick and the dead... but... my guess was nowhere near reality...

and i wudnt want to take the pain to write abt the pain i took to watch the movie...(though i managed to fall asleep...midway)...

Just wanted to warn u folks... not to watch the movie......
