WNC Navy Half Marathon - Mumbai 2022

After a really long break, the run is back. 20th Nov was the day of IndianOil WNC Navy Half Marathon 2022 - 21K Aircraft Carrier Run Category.

The pain got worse due to Ankylosing spondylitis over the years and finally after some medication got some courage to participate in one long run. The original plan of a week long trip got shortened to a weekend trip. Stayed in a dorm room at Empire Royale hotel, it is just opposite to CSMT train station. The to and fro journey was via railways rajdhani train.

With a goal of 2:45 timing bus, completed the run in 3 hours, not a great timing. But it did boost the confidence after so many days of severe pain. When I was certain that I'm gonna get bound to a wheelchair, this run did bring back some hope.

Coming months are going to be hopeful, planning to enrol for more races- one half marathon a month is the goal of year 2023.

not a proud timing, but a good starting point

Next registration done for- New Delhi Marathon on 26 Feb, 2023 with a target of 2:30 💪

Lets hold hands

Let this be a still frame,

Let mountain of worries play their game,

see them grow;

way higher than us and we,

Smile under their shadow, unaffected!!

This path may not be the hall of fame,

May not transpire us into a single frame,

with you and I -

may not be able to hold hands, see us grow;

together forever to our graves, contented!!

Let us hold hands anyway; and lock our eyes; smiling!

Say; cheers to this beautiful thing we have together now!

No mountain of worries can defeat;

The way our hearts beats in a single rhythmic beat!!

Snow or not, rain or hot - the Mountain teaches us to be strong - to keep our head high
always!
when nature is so brave - we must! we are just small cog in this mighty nature!

Good things Never Lasts

You carved out the best of yours

Put some lovely wings -

and fly to you like dark cloud pours!

With head high, gazing curls of yours

Put on some lovely legs - 

and gleaming to you like drizzling rains!!

And then deep down in heart of yours

The doomed dubiety of love that,

good things never lasts!

The prelude of that moment, my dear!!

freshly picked from beautiful nature- and
turned into a lovely hen, my hen!

Curly way to your heart

From the greenery to the barren lands
to the snowy mountains!
wrapping together so many emotions!!

The curly way to your heart,

the entwined road like your hairs-

hiding the beautiful mind inside the curls!

caressing, allow me dear! in your worlds!!

While you welcome some souls in your lap,

let me hide in your curls and whisper songs!

let me adorn your world, let me linger till eternity!!

The pleasure of riding curly roads - holding so much inside one frame - looking back from the top is like hope I had stayed longer in there, if not forever.

Solitude

A little corner of joy,

of solitude!

Wonder, when do you allow aliens to knock that door,

of your solitude!

And wonder even, how come you welcome 'em whole heartedly,

in your solitude!!

#littleJoys #solitude

odd one out

the struggle,
of being the odd-one out!
of the fear of acceptance
is real!!!

yet the joy-
of craziness!
of the sense of kinship
is exhilarating my ferried!!!!

#insomnia #kafal #newseason

of New Season!

Like the new blossoms,
of new times, of new season -

The freshness of you - the gentle breeze!

how can I not find you by my side,
in such solitude
my dear!!
