Thumbnail image for Marathon Preparation and DeaIing with Injuries

During one early morning run more than two months back, I experienced a hamstring injury for the first time in my running career. The pain on my upper thigh made me abort my run midway. I came back home limping. I realized that I had started my run that day […]

This happened a few months back. I am in a train, around 6.30 in the morning, traveling from Palakkad to Chennai. An elderly gentleman is giving vent to his feelings about the deplorable state of governance. He is talking to me, so I join in feebly in support of his […]

I love the home I now live in, even with the prohibitive rent. I had shifted to a first-floor house in June last year, determined never again to live with the haunting memories of the December 2015 flood invading my abode under seven feet of water. But the new place […]

Thumbnail image for Completing TWCM & Starting 2017 on a Winning Note

2016 was a dismal year concerning my marathon races, like I mentioned in my previous post. I am so very happy that 2017 has begun on a promising note. I ran the full marathon distance and completed TWCM last Sunday, on January 08. The terrible timing (05:36:31 hr) screams at me […]

Thumbnail image for Meandering back into my Path of Writing

I nearly lost all of my blog posts a few days back. Last year I had transferred this blog hosted  by my friend in the US to Chennai shores. Someone here forgot to follow through midway, after initiating the process. My friend saved the day for me by retrieving from […]

Thumbnail image for Seeing the World As I Am

For many years in the past, particularly during and after a very successful stint in my career, I felt content being seated on a high seat preferring to relate only with people of my choosing, when they came my way. I rarely ventured to go out of my way to […]

I just read the latest blog post by James Altucher ‘The Power of Consistency,’ about why he rates Lawrence of Arabia # 2 among the all-time great movies. The main reason for the top rating is because of the way Lawrence, the hero of the movie, conquers the unrelenting, merciless […]
