Grace & Gratitude

"You never know your limits until you push yourself to them"   Last night my friend reminded me "You were going to post a blog every month, what happened to it?" Today after hitting my new maximum pace, I am here to write 'on running'. It's really difficult to remember when I actually started running. As a 10-year-old the maximum distance I could hit was 200 meters at a great pace. As an 11-year-old, I absolutely hated running. At 600 meters I used to get blackouts. The thought of running even just 1 kilometre used to be one of my worst nightmares, and the idea of running 10 kilometres was out of my sight. It was the CoVid time when I ordered a new pair of running shoes and just went to a nearby park and started running. That was the beginning, which came to an end really soon.

Written goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.   Plan everyday in advance. Your mind, ability to think, plan and d

 December 28, 2021 Today I completed the target of reading 21 books this year. Books always amaze me. The first thing I did in January 2021 after shifting to Mumbai was to get to Colaba and buy some fantastic books. I remember my conversation with the book vendor whenever I was asking him about any book, he was telling me the name of the author and names of some other books from the same author, you can expect this thing from the guy who is working at the Crossword but listening to these recommendations from the street vendor and that too without mispronouncing or mistaking a single name indeed amazed me or rather impressed me. When I shop books at Nagpur, this never happens, and even I always struggle to find books of my choice. I remember I talked over many books with the guy as it was early morning and couldn't see any customers nearby. It was a great discussion, from talking on Inferno to heading to Benjamin Franklin's and Einstein's biography and finally ending up with
