When I wrote "Viva Lausanne", my ex-boss in Switzerland was very moved and sent the mail to most of the employees that knew me then. He told me that it was nice for an Indian to run a Marathon in Lausanne and write so nicely about the people. The title of my post, though serving as encouragment to living a full life, there is less to cheer about nowadays and thus the sarcasm - si'il vous plait!!!
I am happy with the run I did on Sunday as it more than surpassed my expectations. I also met my dear Aarey friends and I found that they have scheduled a race of 10k/21k on 4th Jan. They want me to be taking the "lead" in some way but I am wary about these things nowadays for reasons best kept a secret. My friends from IIT that ran the Pune Marathon had a lot to write about the race and I feel excited that they had the same experience that I did almost 10 years ago - I feel vindicated cause "I told them so!"
I am also happy that I met one of the runners in Delhi, from RFL, that seems lost but has a sure fire passion. I do hope that the fraternity grows as the years go by. I feel that disparate groups are existing but there is no "connection" that binds them. I have also a sense of......dunno what it is. But who cares - Viva Goa! (stated with a raising of the toast!)
