easy run - saturday, 13th march 2010

Did an easy run of 30.49 minutes, basically coming back into running after one week layoff, so took it really easy. With the heat wave going on, decided to restrict my running today also in view of tomorrow's run at the BNP. A bit stiff to start with, but later on it was quite smooth and rhythmic all the way. Felt great running today.

A better India, a Better World

Just finished reading an excellent book called "A Better India, a Better World" by Narayana Murthy, mentor at Infosys. This is a collection of his speeches, but the narrative is fine and Mr. Murthy is a fine thinker with a lot of innovative thoughts and ideas for improving India. A wonderful book to read, highly recommended. Why not Narayana Murthy as PM of India for 10 years. It would be a great idea.
