And the wrap of 2022-23 running season!!

It started as a fitness routine where running was a part of eating schedule. You workout so that you can eat whatever you like!! Slowly steadily, this became a part of routine. You change perception about people, people change perception about you. Many bonds are broken and many new are created.

And like any other activity, any success in current milestone usually leads to new milestone. Running was same for me. Once I started in 2016, my target was to run 5k in 30min for Goechala Trek. With time it turned to doing a 10k, then a sub-60 10k. HM, sub-120 HM and so on. New goals are a stepping stone to newer goals!

Because of COVID-19, my whole training block ended up running a Bengaluru Marathon Virtual 2 years back.

Another running story of Challenges and Misfires!

What?

TLDR; Its not glamorous!

"And it just happened?" -- One of the many questions many of us hear!

When I got my first Garmin, my first adventure was SRT Ultra, where I was fortunate enough to celebrate the might of Sahyadri ranges, experience the forts of Tanaji Malusare, the way they used to experience: on foot. And it was amazing. That was the time I understood, this is what I am upto.

1m to 42.195: My running journey!

Back then in 2016, I clearly remember sitting in office with two of my managers. We were just having a random discussion about treks and all. Which led to this amazing experience. So lets call this a Part-II of the same story.

Unlike Bollywood's movies, where there is a happy ending to an eternal success and lifetime of happiness, I had a strong realization of the social life I was missing because of 'pratistha, prashashan, anushashan' (The three pillars of Big B of Mohabbatein) .

KFDC - Munnar

We had an oppourtuinity of availing some services offered by Kerela Forest Development Corporation, Munnar. As we were planning to trek Meesapulimala there was no other way than staying in fixed destinations present in KFDC's Munnar website and booking through it.

Three varients of stay is offered:

Base Camp (In tents)

Sky Cottage, 500m from base camp

Rhodo Mansion, 4km from base camp.

The game of Experience and Assistance

The story started as one of the newer colleague told, "I know in some days people are going to kill me, as I ask so many questions".

To this query, there could have been many solutions easiest being it happens, don't worry!

As the concern is quite logical, people have a tendency to get irritated by redundant queries, it needed a scientific explanation.

In my opinion,

This would be the graphical representation of above equation.

The 'Inorbit-Right' Turn Story

December 29 afternoon, probably the last working day of the year for most working people globally.

Near Inorbit mall, Uber driver took Right turn for the destination while a BMTC bus was coming from opposite end at a considerable pace.

I am wondering at the arrogance of both BMTC driver and the Cab driver, they were so confident that the other party is going to apply brakes.

It was an If Only scene, right out of a beautiful week.

A walk down memory lane!

We meet many people, in our lives. Some interactions are touch and go, some are for days and some are hooked like bedbugs, it doesn't matter how hard you try they are gonna keep close.

Best bonds are made between minds which grow together. College is one of them. Looking back at some of the pages of my life like [1] [2], the experiences I had look void without people.

Java: Playing with Generics and Reflection

Generics and Reflection are some of the few powerful tools which Java provides.

Use case: In an incremental software development model, we happen to change and change. And some changes are not compatible to each other. To keep things backward compatible, we need to make adapters.

For Example:

Current use case only deals with IntegerAfter some days the codebase starts dealing in FloatRound three deals in Double.To keep things backward compatible, we need our POJO to be easily convertible.

Tragedy

(Written and lost by me, thanks to my brother for keeping it safe!)

It's the time of tragedy

there's no point of being happy

eyes are blinded and we trapped in swampy marshy

after we failed

all the charm is hailed

disparity: the only thing which prevailed

we are not sad for what we had

but for what we could have

they say that life is small

after being deserted we've nothing to dance at ball

I dream if life were a cake

just put in oven and ready to be served after a bake

but don't kn

Separation is the ultimate goal of Socialization!

I guess most of us have read Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone. And when in college time come, a common question is, how is the life at college gonna be.

New people, new place, living away from the set of people who had always been there since birth.

2013, four years down the lane degree over, it time to play Ye dosti hum nahi torenge, College Days and Emptiness.
