Day 2 ♥ Happiness is Running 5K ♥ Spirit of Wipro Run

Happiness is running 5 kilometers powered by ambition, both the ambition of the organization and the individual. I am particularly happy to stress the word "individual" because I ran for myself. Many of my family and friends would not believe that I lost weight in the past eight months. Some may even laugh and say, "When did you gain weight to lose it?" However, the truth is that I worked hard to lose weight.

Last year, I weighed 75+ kilograms. If I recall correctly, I was 76 kilograms. This was the result of sitting for more than 14 hours a day. From morning 7:30 or 8:00 AM until 4:00 or 4:30 PM in the office, and from 5:00 PM to 9:15 PM in school learning German. After that, my wife Vidhya and I would go home, have dinner, and sleep. This was our routine for six months. The result was weight gain, which we happily accepted because we both cleared the B1 German language exam with a high score. However, later we realized that we had gained too much weight and needed to lose some. It was the toughest phase of our life and it still continues to be. I chose to run and cycle, while Vidhya chose home remedies and workouts. This helped us lose weight. Vidhya lost 6 kilograms and I lost 12 kilograms. We are happy with the results, but Vidhya needs to lose a few more kilograms to be completely fit.

Today, when I clocked 5 kilometers in 32 minutes, I felt great and thanked the stars. Although I run at least once a week, it was still amazing to do it with 15,000 runners. Thanks to Wipro for making this happen. Wipro rocks! I didn't bring my mobile, so I couldn't take any photos of myself, but I'm sure I'll find at least ten photos of me on social media. Once I find, I shall upload :)

And here is a small poem dedicated to Vidhya…

You and me,
Like the moon and stars,
Smile in the night;
Happiness at its height!

We are one,
Entwined in love,
Forever and ever;
Happily ever after!

This is for us,
For the love we share,
It is beyond words;
Happy as birds!
