Little things bring us joy!

Simple wishes, dreams, desires motivate us and drive us to do crazy things. 

Today's LSD (Long Sunday)began with no targets in mind.Pulled into the group by Shiva at PB, I thought I would run apni man marzi..Hardly did I know that Hari&Co were planning to do a 21k via  Chennai 0 .The magic milestone was in my wishlist and did not want to let go of the opportunity as soon as I got to know. Definitely, Im no match for the trail blazers &  I'm always a trailing gazer. Doc decided to accompany Uma & me and have a relaxed run. I couldn't ask for more. Lest that I realise, it was a killer weather.

The oppressive weather conditions made every step tougher. Thanks to my running partners to put up with all my cribbing and ranting. The timing transitioned from 4:1 to 3:1, later to 2:1 and finally walk. 

Clicking pictures en route for varalaaaru kept me going.Completely drenched in sweat , dehydration taking a toll, indeed a bad day to realise my wish. 


I kept telling myself - " Just keep moving". As my neck strained and hamstring happily stringing tight, getting past Marina, the second longest coastline seemed like a draaaag. The target didn't seem any closer.Finally, reached the Victory War Memorial , and further down "just a turn and straight" to the milestone. The rejuvenating Drum beats and lemon soda pumped in some energy to the parched throat and exhausted mandai.

 A final hurdle to reach 0, the bridge. A steep walk across the narrow bridge and yeah... the milestone, my magic milestone.What next... Padam podavendidu thaan... Photoshoot kku smiilllleeee plzzzz!!!

Yes, and a few more miles.. Did a 16k , with no more energy left in me.. decided to take an auto back to Bessie. 

Realising dreams is never a rosy path, however miniscule it may seem. It could happen unexpectedly in an unconducive manner, just like today!

Thanks to Doc, Uma and 3 bottles of sodas!!

Made In China  Sounds familiar ? Ought to be!  As a mother of 2yr old twins, am compelled by my own conscience to buy new toys every other month.So whats there in it ? Every parent of this new age does it.Its not about buying toys that concerns me,but the origin of it. I see that almost 95% of the toys, carry a "Made In China" tag. Be it a small car,soft toy or my computer mouse/keyboard, every 2nd item in my house is China made.Gifts from my relatives abroad, is mostly China/Taiwan/Japan made. Ain't it strange? This made me do some research work on Indian -Chinese Import-Exports.Google is our handy manny :-) (Handy Manny is a cartoon on Disney Channel). Google search on "Made in China" showed me so many websites with an entire range of their products. You could set up a new home, a toy store, electronic goodies and what not.I was even tempted to start a small business.On the reverse, "Made In India" search fetched me the famous pop song by Alisha C...

A Day at Bheemeshwari

Image
Back again to share my experience about my trip with Marketics friends. Wondering about the place ???? Located in the southernmost part of Karnataka is the Chamrajnagar district.This place lies in the leeward side of Nilgiris. So,why has this place gained importance ? What's special? Hmmm.. The Bheemeshwari river (?). As always all rivers have different names in different regions.The Kaveri flowing here takes the name of "Bheemeshwari" . A renowned place for fishing,the home for "Mahseer" , the largest tropical sporting fish known. It is also in the endangered list of species. Simple background for the trip is that the toiling & night working of the IBM team has won us an offsite :) The excited and enthusiastic junta of IBM team gathered at the office by 6.00 am(is'nt that gr8. We come late only on working days ;) ). A gang of 30 members boarded the bus, geared up with breakfast, refreshments, football, rackets..... Few people were picked up on the way ...
