Its really been a long day..
First, it was the Bangalore International Marathon.. Yeah! I ran the 7kms 'Celebration Run'. Day begun at 6.30am (what a sunday!) and me and my two cousins reached the Sri Kanteerava stadium by around 8.10am. The Full Marathon and the Half Marathon were already in progress. And there was a huge turnout.. looked like some 10000 or so people waiting for the 7km wala.. (you will get the actual figures in the newspapers in about a couple of hours..) Lots of babes too ;)
So, there I was.. looking to run my first marathon and also trying to figure out if my exercises and joggin in the gym has had any effect. And I actually completed the run in about 39 mins. Thats a pretty decent time for my standards and even among approx 8000 of the 9999 odd brave guys and gals who had turned up there :)
After that, I came back home and got ready to go to my friend's new house Grahapravesham. For those of you who know my batch, it was Sachin Prasad aka SP's house-warming function. And his place was a hot 20kms away from mine.. So, there I was in the afty, getting together with many of my batchmates and having fun and lunch.
Then, I went with one of my friends to his house and spent another couple of hours chatting, bhatting..
And then, at 4 'o clock I was at the MG road Barista for the bangalore bloggers' meet... Only to realize after about an hour that the meet was the St. Marks road Barista. Reached them finally and spent a cool 2 and half hours getting to know these guys and gals.. And generally introducing ourselves and talking and all that. I had known Venkat of IIML and Laka Laka Laka fame, Shub, and Kiruba to some extent thro' their blogs and finally I met them in flesh today. It was nice to meet many bloggers and soon I'll start reading their blogs as well.. You can find more updates and pics on these other bloggers' sites. Also check http://www.anitabora.com/blog/
And then, by 8pm I was totally exhausted.. But then some good food, cool bangalore breeze (when on the bike) and talking to a couple of my very good friends (in that order ;) has rejuvenated me again.. So, here I am at 1am.. filing this post :)
Chow! Bye Bye!!
Eternal Life!
