The result of the IDBI Marathon was not that astonishing for me as the running is all about having the approach of discipline, dedication, and dreaming. One has to dream the right thought of running all according to the laps and if one has seen the Bhag Milkha Bhag movie by Farhan Akhtar he could have understood that entering the stadia Shri Milkha Singh watches the crowd and then takes the circuit in the mind to run as fast as possible after which he achieves the feat.
The only thing about running in India is that somewhere down the line the competition gets murkier as the current generation has got its input in the life of not giving fair enough chance to those who have a winner's attitude in life and thus most of them get to be called a Vagabond rather than a dedicated citizen.
It's more or less like if I can't do then I will be the hindrance in others life and then they talk about the Superego on someone else due to which one could see people from all walks of life trying to pull others people down in which they do not get successful.
Also, appreciating the other people's achievement has been a forgotten gesture these days and the only thing left in mind is to malign the image and any extent of thought is put into it without thinking about the backlash which a person can get in life.
Now, if one thinks about the Military or the Indian Army which proved it's mettle in running has given the way a performer comes out of this organization which is known the world over. If we compare the results of the Marathon like Amity Gurugram Marathon, then they are more or less a sheer waste of time for professional runners and since I participated in for the first time this year the only thing which I saw was the people from various walks of life coming in fewer numbers in the competitive participation of 22.5 Kms and also of 42 Km and the other thing was the discrepancies in providing certificates which have been a foul play and nothing more than that.
So, considering to be a runner who is just a rookie at this level as I have been good with timing and already considered a good name in the marathon events I would urge people to understand that getting into Marathon is tiring so going all out for every event will not bring out the name in the list of top achievers but be selective and find the right running event to bring your name in the elite runners list!
