The world is a playground!

A place is never bad, its the people who live in it make it good or bad. Any place at large can be good to everyone, if few goons (racists/jobless jerks/troublemakes/AHs/Bstds call what you like) are taken out of the system. Even otherwise, we should not let these minors impact us in any negative way.The entire world is a home as long as we have the attitude to make it your home!! Life is too short and people with big dreams never should get impacted by petty people! Let the petty ones be petty and move ahead!

Our first Melbourne Marathon Oct 12th

I guess I have written enough about runs now.. or wait.. no. not enough.. :)
12th Oct was the Melbourne marathon and me and him did a good job. I loved the enthusiasm in the crowd and so much motivation for us to do better :) People from across ran as One. 'Run' was binding us all together as one.

No caste, no creed, no color, no gender bias and no age limits. I have seen 70+ yrs doing a better job than me. New mommies running and their kids n husbands cheering for them. People of different body types pushing their limits to run as one. The crowd and the zeal was way beyond any expectations.People dressed funny too, like buffoons, spiderman, fancy girls, and many more.

I completed my 10.2 km in 1 hr and 5 mins and he did 10.4 in 1 hr and 15 mins. :)
I had aimed to finish my run in an hour but the last 3 kms were tricky due to narrow tracks and the crowd. People tend to slow down than rush in the last few kms and I was a little stuck among crowd and couldn't do as I had planned.
we were around 12 of us from our company running together and that was the best feeling. all our practise runs together, our beach runs on saturdays, our breakfast sessions, all paid us :)

The biggest motivation to me was our CTO's daughter, a 12 yr old running with us on every saturdays. She did her 10k in an hour and 11 mins and I felt so happy and inspired by that young girl!

We had a nice breakfast together after our run and all we spoke of is about 'Run' and how each of us felt :)

I plan to keep running and so do many of my team members. Wish I get to run often.

Well this is my Longest Run till now!

Ok this sounds pretty weird that I just posted a week back saying I did a 7.4 km run but now I need to write one more as I touch another milstone.. Yeah.. On the auspicious day of Gandhi Jayanti I did a 8.6 km run in 1 hr and 1 min and I'm pretty thrilled and happy about it.. :) Lot of motivation from people around. everyone older than me.. and everyone does better than me. If I need to even feel the age that I am I need to run. And I love Running!!

Enjoying life every moment. Thanks to my Running.
I might get back here to post again when I break my own record .. Hope so!!

My first Long run!!

Today I did the longest run of my life.. as far as I remember
I have been running off late and I'm totally enjoying it. I have done about 15km last week with about 5-6 km of walking

Today I did my longest sprint. 7.1 km in 50 minutes and felt awesome. It was an office group run and we are preparing for Melbourne Marathon which is comign up on oct 12th.
I was almost dead after the run but I recuperated. I feel happy that I am not injured or anything.. though last time around I had a severe knee pain after 2 days of running continuously.

Feel haapy to be able to run for long.. :) My desire to be fit till old age, is undying.. :P
Am glad am putting effort towards it..

Mary Kom and relevance to our lives!

What a heart touching movie it is.. Mark Kom. Hats off to you Mary and am in love with PC all over again. She again proves she can play any character the best. 
Such inspiring, motivational and ofcourse an emotional movie.
Most importantly it has a message for all married people.

Indian husbands should surely watch this. The support a husband should/must give is shown perfectly.

You want a wife who is a superwoman in all fields of life (whether you say or not you love it if your wife is a star in all fields)
As a working professional, as a wife, as a mother as a Daughter in Law, as a cook, a woman with talents and hobbies, a woman who is Fit, A woman with good GK and IQ, a woman who is financially independent, 
a woman who can drive, a woman who is presentable and speaks awesomely well without denting the image of the husband, a woman who is not a spendthrift and shopaholic, ahh my wife blogs.. here is the link.. thats a pride too..
The roles/expectations out of a girl are never ending.. All agreed and accepted, but as a husband the support and encouragement you give to your spouse is what is most important and this precisely is well shown in the movie and thats a defining factor for all the roles a Wife plays.

I'm glad I watched it with my husband and he agreed it is difficult to be such a husband.

Not just men, but its such a lesson to all women too, who are strong and committed to different things and play a great role in each of the fields. Life is more than just being good to all. Life is about your own dreams!

A spouse always makes/breaks a person. What we are or what we are not, whether a winner or a loser in life, the credit also goes to the spouse, 
but nevertheless the urge to do or to be is primarily our own duty and not the spouses'.
