RUN August 28, 2006

Today I did lot of stuff. Bought the most expensive pair of shoes I could find in the city, purchased a Reebok track suit, got myself a pair of contacts and also booked my air tickets to Mumbai about five months before the actual departure.
No I haven’t got a lottery and neither have I decided to become disciple of Osho who is about to start his search of being. Actually I am going Mumbai to take part in the carnival called Marathon. It still far away but I am excited that I will be running along with some 50,000 participants from all over the world. Some will come there to win and some will come there to have fun. I think I would be there just to run.
I ran 5 km today to get a feel if I have any stamina left in me. Trust me it was damn tough, not just physically but mentally as well. Every part of my body is still breaking. I don’t know what made me think that I would be able to run 42 km at a stretch, but when I told this to some of my friends I got interesting reactions.
Some say I was short of suicidal ideas and hence decided a unique way to death and salvation. Some well wishers opinionated that I am wasting my time and money on something which has no significance at all and if I put that time at office I may even get a promotion or two. Some philosophical souls didn’t miss the opportunity to pun that it is just another excuse I have put up to run away from problems of life. Its kinda funny but some poor chaps also thought I am a Ganesh Bhakt and Marathon is something Mumbaiakars do on Ganesh Chaturthi to show their devotion to Lord Ganesh.
I don’t know what to tell them or may be I don’t have to tell them anything as all I want to do is RUN !!
