New 30-day challenge

Blogging after a real long time. Its been three weeks since I came back to Chennai after a wonderful and sleepful Diwali vacation at home. Too many emotions in varying intensities surround me daily. I miss my home and parents for sure. I keep thinking of present and future and not to forget the past. This is all that I can say as of now about what is going on deep inside my head and Heart.

Moving onto some lighter and also adventurous topics- Running. 40 months to go for the Marathon and I am in good shape if not great or bad. Started my current training season a week ago. 6 months ago I planned of running couple of 50 kms in December, all that now appears a distant dream. It is for sure that in practice I won't be running more than 30km before the marathon. Race day is going to be a hell of a challenge. Point to be noted, I never ran a half marathon before the actual race day (which was January 2015). I had a plan to avoid that mistake, but all went for a toss. Anyway can't and won't back off. Tickets are booked and shoes polished and carbs loaded. Stay tuned for more race updates.

Juggling - torrential rains brought life to standstill in Chennai. Lucky for me that I am about 50kms from main City and not much of flooding issues here. The rains called in for 3 4 days office holiday and things back home went all gloomy. Not too much to do, plus I was in no mood of reading any new books. Juggling came in for rescue for few hours each day. TV was another pass time. Roomies and friends and monopoly helped in too. Instead of being thankful to God for saving me from the pains of floods, I was busy in my own thought process and making the things more gloomy around me.

So why the section is titled as Juggling? I am planning on learning 5 ball juggling since months now. I finally got serious now and for next 30 days I will consistently work on 5 ball cascade for minimum of 45 mins a day. 15 mins will be for warm up and clubs and at times rings just to freshen up. Hope I learn atleast a flash of 5 balls. Flash of 5 balls - throwing and catching 5 balls in a 5 ball cascade pattern. It takes months and at times years to learn the basic 5 ball cascade and months more to perfect it.

Lunch time about to end,need to share this on facebook too.

See you later :)
