Run Delhi Run !!!

Run Delhi Run!!! And it did ! And that too with an elance, fervor. This time around I made sure that no alumni meet or any such excuse prohibit me from running. Surely I ran and so did 20000+ odd people from all cadres, class and upbringings. As the Airtel ad was yelling out during every commercial break, Remember the joy of Running, I enjoyed every bit of it. Not because I am a die hard fitness freak but to admit the least, I just wanted to tire myself, get exhausted, drenched, drained.Wanted to experience the physical exertion till the time it just overpowers every other form of fatigue; professional, psychological, moral.And it did, but not for long.100 odd minutes and life was back on routine. So much I wish that the fatigue stays with me,forever,wishful huh !!!

While running I was pondering over a couple of things which although do not matter much to me or are applicable to me, have indirect repercussions on my psyche. I was wondering whether if what we do comes back to us in this life only. I was wondering if I am actually no longer the person I once was, not even a shadow, blip. I was wondering if I need to just get back to my thinking ladder and give life one more shot and see if some things could be bettered, won over. Know what, I got my answer by the evening .Life has a strange way of taking vengeance. It waits for the prey, chooses the best weapon and then strikes on its morale, confidence with a deadly fervor and immediately makes a kill. In most of the cases it chooses your loved ones as the weapons. Probably in all cases.Mabe coz it knows that you are vulnerable to them or mabe coz it knows that in such cases your chances of recuperating are meagre.Whichever way, this is how it is.Strange, on your face and full of drama; all at the same time.Koi nahin, everybody has a right to Live and us as an individual have neither a say nor prowess to dictate terms. Not even to …anybody...


So, I just ran. And I still am running. Dunno towards the life or straight away from it. But running I am because that’s what keeps me charged and helps me lose track of wilderness in my mind. If I am static, the mind is not and the battle just begins from where I had left it which is unfortunate, torturing.


Anyways, tomorrow, rather today (its 0045 hrs damn it!) is a new day. There are challenges at my workplace too but probably I just can attribute them on somebody else (wishful again! Just wondering when I last did that!) Whichever way, that’s another thing which happens every day again just for the heck of it and I again am running, in some direction my goodness!!! Yawn !!! Chalo,gotta’ go.Long night ahead and winters and life have longer nights though the days are valued more than in summers.


Just to make a pointEvolution is the most important fact of life because if you don’t evolve with time you might just be taken for granted by those whom you take a bit too seriously!!!
