The World's Fastest Indian...!!!

A couple of days ago I watched a movie on my laptop..."The World's Fastest Indian"[2005] Initially I thought it will be about some Indian guy or something like that...but soon i realized that its about the struggle of a man Burt Munro who just wanted to break the land speed record with his beloved 40years old bike..."Indian Motorcycle"...whose original speed was just 55miles/hour which he later improved and reached a speed of 201.851miles/hour to achieve the title of fastest speed ever achieved on land by any under 1000cc vehicle...which still holds... For this he went from New-Zealand to USA...and broke the record...and all this at the age of 68... The movie is about his struggle...must watch... PS: Don't loose hope is the moral of the story...:P

The Unposted Letters..!!

Image
  When the mind sways, And when the same feelings this heart portrays, And when pot is also not left with enough ink, so when the quill says, Words on the parchment feel like a cheap fabric that frays. So many lines fumbled, So many feelings got crumbled, Like someone feels when they get ghosted, Those letters, in the drawer, always remained unposted. PS: Most of my posts are late night musings. Either way, the letter posted or not, the things I write reach this online platform or not, it feels good to scribble down random words once in a while.

A Long and A Lone Run.. Few thoughts..!!

Image
Covid-19 has got to the nerves of everyone, someway or the other. However, there is one thing that has helped me maintain my sanity is endurance sports, like long runs and long bike rides. There are days, when I've started doing my own mini-duathlon (say 20-30km bike ride followed by 10k run). This might sound awkward to many, but there are few who will be okay with me doing this. Despite all this, even with so much physical activity, I've never attempted a half marathon alone. All my 14 half-marathons have been in some event or the other. Maximum distance I've covered alone, I guess, will be around 17-18km at a stretch. So to give it a try, last weekend, I thought of attempting a half marathon. All alone. I made this decision pretty late I guess, as weekend was almost over. Yup, it was just another usual Sunday evening (there wasn't anything special gonna happen while everyone is stuck in the lockdown). I geared up and went down for a run. However, with Corona around t...
