…and all that jazz
It’s amazing how one all-India competitive exam can send the nation, its media, aspirants, trainers and more into a tizzy.
I feel for those who don’t make the cut. Their self-esteem could plummet, they may feel suicidal, they might carry a deep-rooted sense of meaninglessness for the rest of their lives.

hey rads and Geetha, thanks for your comments. Glad Suraj’s write-up motivated you both. All the best for the marathon in June, Geetha!!! come and read the post in case you feel low about it at any time…also, here’s something a friend shared yest:
“Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.

Hi madam, I am liking you a lot
Thanks so much for this, Merril.
That was a real motivation to read. I am planning to do walk/jog the 10K marathon in June and it was truly inspiring to read your post. There are plenty of reasons that I would do it, but I still keep thinking if I did the right thing by registering for it, the first and foremost being that am I fit enough? But as I read through your post, it does hit me that you are absolutely right, it is a mind thing 
Indeed.
Thank you for this. I am in similar position, as in attempting to push myself and my body to do what I never dreamed of or thought capable of considering injuries, weight gain and general malaise.
I intend to walk/run the 5K in May, but am attempting it this Saturday just to see if I can do it. It will be a big challenge, and your post has helped immensely. It is a mind thing.

Ah… you must be referring to the fact that the third ODI cricket match against South Africa was rained out in Chennai.
Don’t worry… everyone will find meaning again on the 25th in Kolkata.
No Brian!I am talking about the Common Admission Test. The CAT is an all-India entrance test for admission. Thousands of students and working professionals participate, for admission th the top biz schools in the country.
