Piya Bhaag Rahi Meri Sakhiyaan!!!

Hahaha!!! Is this me?? Yeah, that exactly was my reaction, when I saw my video of B2RUN. It was one minute clipping, but worth treasuring. Me, the half-dead, half-embarrassed soul, was trying to touch the finish line.

This run was of 6 Kilometer and if you complete it in 30 min, its worth being proud of. Run started from Olympia park and finished inside stadium. I completed the run in 55 min, I know, I know, its hard for me also to believe that I actually finished 6km so soon?? Proud me!!!

The "Run was Fun"
So many, children and old people standing on the side of track, and cheering runners. Some people were offering water to the participants. Few runners had funny costumes. So, with my tortoise pace,  I overtook two runners during the whole run. Pretty good hah?? An old fat guy, and an orange. Yes, a guy in a costume having shape of orange was running.

When I was 200 meters away from the goal, those were actually the "goose-bumpy" moments, when I was entering the Olympic stadium, it was full of crowd, lots of flood lights on, so many people cheering you up to finish the run. Ah!!! At that moment I wanted to be P.T.Usha. Now, I don't blame  my knees for complaining such a bad try.

Among my office mates, I was the last one, but never mind, I was not the last person to finish the run among 35, 000 fellow runners. I finished the run, and enjoyed it a lot.

 
I remember, this was written on the T-shirt of a lady
Some things may change, but spirit runs!!!

Its middle of the night, raining heavily outside and I have made a hot cup of "adrak ki chai", a perfect setup to write post and also to listen to my favourite singer.

For all the "pankhaasss" & "pankisss" of Shafaqat Amanat Ali Khan, please listen to this song. The relevance of the title with the song is hidden in the lyrics. Find it out yourself & happy listening!!!
