Early morning sun rays breaking thru the sky…

Taken during this morning’s run in midtown Atlanta. Reminds me of a great song by Amjad Sabri…

“Andhere Mein Dil Ke Chiragh-e-mohabbat
Yeh Kiss Ne Jalaya Savere Savere
Tasawwur Ke Suraj Ki Aik Aik Kiran Se
Naya Noor Paya Savere Savere
Lagan Jis Ke Dedar Ki Lag Rahi Thi
Qareeb Aur Aaya Savere Savere”

Roughly translated (with some assist from Qazi and Ritesh)…

“In the deep dark corners of my heart, who is this
Who lit the sparks of love, so early in the morning
This Sun of my own imagination – each and every ray of it
Has showered so much new light, so early in the morning
(She) who I have always persevered to feel near me
Suddenly has come very close to me, so early in the morning”

Dressed for the run! Dressed for the day!

My office colleague -Tim, was in town for some meetings. He lives in beautiful Oregon and is an active trail runner. Last night we had decided that we will put in a run together this morning. Met him in his midtown hotel this morning and we went around running in Georgia Tech campus.

The sharp eyed amongst you, no doubt have noticed that my running clothes were totally compliant with St. Patrick’s day :-). Tim, on the other hand, realized at the last moment that he had forgotten to pack his running shorts. We agreed to go ahead with the run with Plan B – his blue polka-dotted boxer shorts 🙂

It was a great run. Beautiful cool morning and Tim slowed down enough that I was able to post one of my fastest runs 🙂

This is too funny!!

An Indian bride yesterday dumped her groom-to-be during the wedding ceremony near Kanpur because he failed a math test he gave her!! The question she asked was how much was fifteen plus six. The groom replied seventeen! The bride simply walked out accusing the groom of lying about his educational qualifications!

Awesome!!

Now, there are unconfirmed reports that many Indian husbands are egging their wives on to ask them math questions. Evidently, everyone is prepared to say one thousand plus two thousand equals zero!!!
