It takes less than two hours to hop from Chennai to Mumbai, but it might take more than two decades for Chennai to become a 'Maximum City' like Mumbai. That is if it wants to.. :-). I lived in Mumbai for about 6 months in my twenties and it was fast then. And now it has only become faster. From Airport to roads everything and everyone is 'on the move' all the time. It looks as though Maximum city never sleeps.
We must have walked north at least 2k from Nariman Point and all thru, there were bunch of stalls coming up. Here some kids (and their moms) having fun at Radio Mirchi band stage getting ready for tomorrow. This place is going to be buzzing tomorrow.
Suresh and I took a walk across the famous marine drive this evening saw ample evidence of a city on the move and getting ready for another edition of Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon. Entire stretch of this scenic section of the city was swarming with people. Young couples were enjoying themselves oblivious of their surroundings. In the middle of this was workers erecting stages to showcase plethora of things for the run tomorrow.

Nestle has put up hoardings across the city with Fauja Singh and I understand Mr. Singh is in town to run the event tomorrow. I don't know how much he will be running, regardless he is my hero. He is 104 and travels around the world participating in events. Even if he runs 1k tomorrow.. that will be awesome. He transformed his life at 89, after moving to UK. What are you waiting for ? Start your transformation today... Do More..Start Running.
I am here to run my marathon #57 with no preparation. My goal is to finish, keeping my hernia problem under control. Wish me luck...
