Inspiration

If this can't inspire people to not stop trying after failures, I don't know what else will. Hats off to Mr. Jayaganesh

Happy Mother's Day

A very happy mother's day to all moms. Now for the soap box, I don't believe that there should be a special day earmarked to remember one's mother or to thank them. Since my opinion is not going to change anything, I'll get off my soap box now :-)

ILP 10K Run - Race for Literacy

Participated in this 10K run to support a worthy cause and to get back in good shape that I was in late 2006 after completing my first marathon

Since I hadn't run at all after the marathon (26.2 miles), this 10K (6.25 miles) run proved to be quite challenging. The first 4 miles was ok. But the last 2.25 miles was a bit tough and decided to a combination of walk/run. I completed the run in about 81 minutes and then ran straight to the "Dosa Hut" booth serving hot brunch of upma, pongal, idli etc and relished it

L also had made some omelette for me to eat after I got back home, which I ended up eating only for dinner

I was extremely sore in my legs for 2 days after this run. The pain was really bad. After this run, I have decided to do some running regularly so that I can be in shape and participate in events like this at short notice

I'm also thinking about participating in a half-marathon (13.1 miles) sometime later this year...

Pick of the lot and gets picked on a lot

Ulaganaayagan, Padmashree Dr. Kamalahaasan is the pick of the lot in the acting arena. I guess there is no dispute to the above fact

He also seems to be the one to picked on by these random outfits for some cheap publicity. Seriously, don't they have anything better to do? Read on
