Namma City Namma Run - TCS World 10K run 2013

My 3rd Marathon/2nd World TCS 10K run experience. . .
A record 23,000 people are participating in the run. Among the 7 different categories, including World 10K, The Nation’s Challenge, Open 10K, 10K Challenge, Majja Run, Senior Citizens’ Run and Champions with Disability, I participated in Majja Run this time. Because, from my company I had only this option to opt for.

This is my third Marathon. First being TCS World 10K run 2012, second Pinkathon 2013 and TCS World 10K run 2013 (Majja Run)
I really enjoyed the run (Okay cool. . Jog, Walk, stroll). Because this time, I was able to run energetically from the beginning till finish of the run. I guess it’s due to the experience of previous 2 runs.

What a special care and attention we received from our corporate security team. It was an excellent arrangement by our teams. My company is well known for the employee welfare and when it comes to corporate run, they do take extra care. Since it was raining yesterday, they provided us ponchos for rain for a safety measure and our team were there at end to greet us with excellent snacks.. The periodical check they took on the welfare of the employees really gave us a nice feel.

Thanks to all my colleague who made this a run a fantastic one . . .

Writing - The other Side



Other Side of being a writer

Brain FOG
Your brain dysfunction due to the thoughts of the story and the plot. Typically, your brain starts to ache due to thinking.
You will miss your loved ones
  • Once, my loved one was on bed with high fever and cold, I dint even react to offer help as my thoughts were frozen with the book ideas and story.
  • You will not respond to your friends calls and messages.
  • Wont spend time with family
lack progress in career advancement
Research do say, Humans have the ability to multi-task. But trust me, its little challenging to handle more than one task at the same time. If you concentrate on your writing, there is a down fall in your career.
If you focus on your career, your writing stuffs gets halted.
Protagonist
Irrespective of deceleration of disclaimer in different phases like, "Its an imaginary story," , "Fiction",  "All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental." people end up asking "was it your story?",  "Come-on, Its must be your story?" even more worse people conclude and argue its must be your story.
No Break
You tend to forget break. No eating, no drinking water, No eating proper foods... No Make-up too :(

Lack of sleep and body pains are additional complimentary.....
Still, When you publish and when your friends appreciate your work, All the pain turns to sweet nothings...
