I definitely know that this is the season of moss green optimism, as evidenced by a new bike (on a great deal), the trees within talking distance of each other (and me) and definitely, high-def return to the lost resolve. I was sick a lot in the month leading upto September.. I am not sure if it was the added stress of a breakdown in personal fortitude (we all know how trying to work out in Bangalore can get) or just plain bronchitis/food-poisoning/delirium-thereof!

Now, most excuses to not train have been taken away, rather deliberately. I was listening to the top folks in this sport talking about their game-plans. I think I am done listening and ready to get going!! The start is always slow but, once I catch some fire, the going is steady, better, best.

My ambitions still stay on keel, added one or two to the "must-have" list... Just finished reading "The inheritance of loss", sort of an anti-climatic page-turner. I do realize my legacy when I read books like this... Indians straddle so many worlds seldom realizing that the world is within us. Its not just "Indians" or "Africans" or "your-favourite-country", its more of how we navigate what we can make for ourselves. Point of the ramble being, as some wise-man said, the lows are never so low.. so, here is looking forward to a Sweet September!
