Dear Friends,
This is the posting i have done in Daily Mile today.
I haven't been to TS stretch for a while. So decided to go for a run and started at 4:45 am. On my way back it was "AIGIRI NANDINI" on the radio and I upped my pace and it was a happy run. Met RAM near IIT and i learned a valuable lesson on giving and detachment today.
He asked me to come to his house to collect a small gift he wanted to give Sundar Purush. I took this opportunity to visit his house - whatelse but for the SUPER BUTTER MILK HIS WIFE SITA ALWAYS OFFERS. Rightly, Ram's mother and wife asked me if i wanted butter milk. Shamlessly i said "Yes' and gullped it.
I also had DARSHAN OF THE BOSTON MEDAL. Ram asked me to tell Sundar to open the gift in front of all the runners.
At YMCA grounds, we all were eager to open the gift. Unbelievably it was RAM'S BOSTON MARATHON T-SHIRT and a condition to the gift that Sundar must run the Boston in 2015. I think most probably sundar will qualify for Boston in 2013 and he is running / practicising hard for a sub three finish either at Dubai or Mumbai. He is planning for a sub three at Hyderabad. Sundar was happy and he has earned a well deserving gift.
My lesson in this entire episode was to not to have any attachment to "material" stuff. How many in the world would give their "boston running t-shirt" as a gift. ? I saw an email recently to the group asking Adhok why T-shirts for an event that were held 3 months back is not yet despatched. So many love such souvenier T-shirts !!
Here is a man who just like that gave his Boston t-shirt to motivate a deserving runner. A big big bow to our one and only inspiration DO MORE RAM.
