Indias Partition

Yeh reading the book Nathruam Nathi, the Oriya version. So far the book seems to be a hardcore critic of Nehru on India’s partition, somehow i agree, Jinna had right to ask for Pakistan. And the author seems to have condemned Bapu for supporting Nehru. i realized a book by Abul Kalam Azad called "India Wins Freeddom", which got published in 1958 had been banned and again republished in 1988 after the interference of the supreme court.

Somehow feel like Neherus ego has lead to India's partition.

The basic cause of India's partition was Nehru’s reluctance of giving only 2 seats to Muslim league in 1937. Then again during 1946 Neherus declaration(Not to obey the Cabinet action plan recommending priority to minoirty) on not obeying the "cabinet action plan" which lead Jinna to ask for a Muslim country. If He would not have given the statement, Jinna should have agreed to Nehrus leadership and he has the right to afraid for the Muslim community.

I strongly recommend this book, May be someday I will read the book "India Wins freedom", this book was banned to have a turmoil on Indian politics during that time and could have exposed Nehru.

Having said this I am a harcore admirer of Gandhi and his philosophy but feel like his love for Nehry might have detered him a bit. Why din he fasted when Neheru was admant on the power.

And realized Nathruam decided to assasign Gandhi after deciding to go for a fast to give Pakistan around 50 crore during the parition but the minsisters decided againt this decission as there was the Kasmir war going on during this time. I somehow feel Gandhi did the right thing to fullfill the commitment that has been given to Pak, this is what India is known for, the tolerance and the commitment.

Promise 2009

No 2 consecutive days of non-running activity. And a milage of 20-25k till I get back my full rhythym of running. Had a decent 45-Min 8.5k recently. Need to work-out on my breathing. May be i will keep running this way, alternate days, this way my body works better and I plan for the next marathon on Decemeber, may be Mumbai, inspired by one of my friend in Mumbai, need to show my calf-muscle. Thats the only way!!!

So 50k in next 2 months. Will and my mileage rather kmage on this post everyday. Lets forget today run, easy 5.5k in 30 minutes without warm-up, My week starts from Monday to Sunday.

Last weeks run --->
Sunday -- 6k
Satday --> fart-lake 7*400m 8Min:10Sec + 7*400m 18Min:02Sec. not a bad one, I used to have in the range of 17:35 when i used to be in top-gear with a break of 5-7 minute in between. Happy, I could able to save 8 secs on my second iteration.

Friday-- Rest
Thursday --> 8.5k --> Mid 45 Min
Wed--> resr
Tuesday --> 5.5K --> 30 minutes

And this excludes the warm-up 800 meter. Last week crossed 25k. I am not going to push more, next week will reduce a bit to 22k to have fuller recovery to my shin-bone

And to add to my apetitie I have started eating non-veg. Though I feel a little bit outof breath after taking the non-veg foods especially because of spices, at least it is poping-me for having more rice(Carbo).


And a suggestion to have Glocose before and after run is probably healing the shin-bone. And to add to it I am running alteranate days and icing the calf after run.

I am pretty sure, will have bigger boost if i join swimming/cyciling. But that costs a little, a bit reluctant on that for the time being before I know where I stand finacially.


And may be, i have to take 20-25 days if rest somewhere in bewteen 2/3 weeks to have my foot operation, the external object that is set in my foot will be removed. Doc says the sonner the better.

Know none keep watching my blog. So can have heartull of thot on these blogs

Are we generouus when we volunteer to Pay

Its a sad story again from X. I was in a hurry catching the bus to my office. To my shock I met an accident with a tiny boy agaed arnd 8-10 Yrs picking up 2 tea cups in two hands. Her tiny black hand was shivering. And the entire tea spilled on my Pant. I got angry at once seeing my Jeans spoiled with the tea. But after seeing the facial expression of the Boy my anger melted to pity. The boy was silent looking at me with carrying the empty cups and the Hot tea comming out of his soft Hand, he was dedicated and did not leave any of the cups. He has leant to be dedicated at the cost of his pain. The vaccumness in his face and the way He was looking at me with the complete helpness in his face was really killing me. Perhaps He was thinking of his next job, how to answer his master. Then I looked at my purse, alas I din have change, had 50 Bucks minmum. And as such I din give anything to him. Then I walked on to the Bus, the Boy was still looking at me with the same empty look.

After moving 20 metres I realised wht a great mistake I did, I could have given him 50 Bucks. I was thinking to get down and give back the 50Rs to the Boy but I was too selfish to do tht. I realised how greedy I am. I could have afford to give him 50 bucks. It again hurt me whn I recall tht I spent arnd Rs200 by spending for a movie with my friend. At tht time I volunteered to pay the Bill as other 2 friends were unemployed.

Are we the people who spends the money whn not needed and hold back when there is a real need. Are we the people who vouch of being generous who never minds spending money for our friends, family and relatives ? May be there are people who desreve the help more than your family, friends and relatives.

Hitting the Ground

Doc told me to start running slowly. For 2/3 days started it. Yestday had a nice 4k but I understand I got to be slow. Doc told not to sprint and hop. Got to strngthen the muscles.

May hit 21.2 on my B day. pretty tough to work till 6AM and hit the ground at 6.30AM but no othr option

Keep going

My update Feb-09

Its been a slow ride for last 4 months, probably I have lossed my originality. personally I feel Im not at the top of my enthu, people may not see me as energitic i was earlier. Got out of touch with lots of my old friends, probably was looking for the solitude within myself, but the truth is one need to feel and mingle with your folks to search the solitude within your self.

this is probably all due to me arseing leg, Still not comfortable if i can be up for my good leg by March, This accident has taken the real toll on me.

Anyway finished the book Alchemist, good one. The messege is pretty clear, do sharpen your thinking and do the stuffs your heart tell you, allmost same as that of the other self-help books. But good to be read.

Also had the Bookers prize book The White Tiger. A good one, recomended for reading. The messege is India Rising and you better seize this opportunity, and the opportunity is every where, go n grab. Its a pretty cunning book, one may realize that to be a successfull you have to twist our surroundings, may be one need to be a bit corrupt to be honest.

The book is about a letter to the visiting Chienese premier to india desribing the capability of Indian Enterpeneurship and in the disguise has exposed the prevailing corruption and the way people tackles it. Worth one-time reading.

Currently with a spiritual book Living with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama, picked from a book fair. If not the spiritucalty I luv reading the flora and fauna of the Himalayas, i personally feel my soothing experience at the himalayas,

New Year Eve

This could probably happen with few guys, having no time for life to getting bored, After i broke my leg in a concert I had to be rested for a 4 months, which is going to be completed in Januray. I got a feeling of getting bored, may be in First week of January i will start running and my next target to be in rhythm to have a half-marathon on my Birth Day, the 17-Apr. And to be in form for another marathon in next 6 months. This time I got to expand on my upper body, recomendation from few Girls and to be a little bit carefull on my dresss (non)sense.

Yeh I was close to love, got the company few girls but it is still away for me, not my cup of tea, Changed my company to tci9.com from Satyam and getting the new taste of life,

Huhhhh....

Weekend Party

Yeh I finished the book Shantaram and now on a vacation trip, listening to the CD "How to Break the rules to be a good manager" . Shantaram is a good book who need to know the insight into India and into the life. There are lots of phrases which really tocuches your butt and shakes yur head.

I had a party last night. And we guys over few beers were suddenly drifted towards a discussion on the meaning of life. In fact I was the culprit who started asking to Mr Mohanty "what do you mean by being a Sanyasi" who is an entrepreneur in refractories and probbaly He loved when gets introduced by being a Sanyas by heart.

Then the hot topic statred with the difference between "Body and Soul" and then the it was hotter and hotter. A famous Guru told that the "Body is an illusion and the Soul is the one which I do not know" as desribed by another chap.

few other catches. A lady on his mid sixties described when her Husband died while She was helping him on his bath tub, She felt that some part of her got out from his heart. We at last come into conclusion that it cannot be described and the perception changes from person to person. Slowly we drifted down to diferernt Gurus and tried to crack their inteligence by showing our intelligence. In fact I was mum listening to all these preaches over beer.

But this tiny guy (Into media biz) statred saying all these Gurus interpret the scriptures on their own way and probably they also do not know the meaning of their life, probably to which we all anonymously agreed and at the end we probably decided Dog is the only truth becuz He is faithfull. So being faithfull and being as a Dog is the meaning of life!!!!

But anyway we decided to carry on with our talk over plenty of beers on the next weekend probably at a camp in a Jungle. So keep an eye to this link.

Yeh I remember Julians word, a french guy who is probably in his mid 20's and has the wisdom of late 60's. I do not bother about all these meaing. I am more pragmatic and keep on loving my work and do not really bother to find all these answers.

But in my view raising the question to yourself "Who Am I, What am I, and What am I doing " and scratching your butt over there is a good thing to start/end.

Yeh the conclusion of the meet from 8PM till 12AM by julian was I am a good romantic listener and proabbly will be a hit among Girls in France, till now not sure if its a complementary or a teasing line.

Yeh there was this incident When the lady again opened up on her line, when her Baby Girl Mac asked; Mom why did you give us birth when I am going to die. And She embarced the Girl and said look I also do not know the meaning and in the mean time Mac(Her 7 Yr old son) hogged all of them and told "Why we need to bother on this when none knows what death is", amazing answer.

So guys keep waiting for our next set of beer to continue
