kalaingar international marathon 2023

I got a chance to participate in kalaingar memorial international marathon 2023 which created a Guinness world record for the largest running race series. When I initially read about the event, I saw that it has a separate winning category for thirunangai's. This was very impressive. I remembered kalaignar karunanidhi as he was the one to term transgender people thirunangai as a token of respect. I immediately registered for the event.

I was eagarly waiting for the event as there were 70000+ participants. It will be interesting to see how the event gets organised with such a huge crowd.
Finally the day has arrived, 6th August 2023. The start line vibe was high and we did a short zumba to warm up. Tamilnadu youth welfare and sports development minister Mr. Udhayanidhi Stalin started the race.

I was expecting atleast 4 cheer up points with music to energise the runners. But to my surprise, there were 14 cheer up stages with artist coming from various part of tamilnadu. This is the level of support that TN government is providing to encourage participants in the areas of sports and fitness.
The finish point was filled with lot of medal and food counters. But still the crowd was high. The funds collected as registration charges will be utilised for cancer treatment center in government Royapettah hospital.

I thoroughly enjoyed the event and got my personal best timing for half marathon (2h:15m)

My favorite quotes

Few to list....

No power in the universe can withhold anyone anything they really deserve.
There is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.
Known is a drop; unknown is an ocean;
No matter where you go, there you are.
Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
Angry is the cause of all miseries.
You can ignore what you get, but you cannot know what you do not get.
Do not consider anyone fool just because you don't understand them.
Nothing is unbearable when it happens.

Trek to Chandrashila peak

Is it cold? - the trek leader asked Harshika. She said yes, obvious yes was her reaction. This happened on the morning of the summit day. She had answered 'no' for the same question the previous day. I registered for the chopta chandrashila deoriatal trek with my daughter Harshika (11yrs) and it was a successful one. Here I will try to capture my memories with my daughter from the trek...
Though we were well prepared for the trek, I was bit hesitant to face the coldness in mighty Himalayas with my daughter. We were an awesome group of 26 people from different parts of the country for the trek starting 24th dec, 2022. Everyone was enthusiastic and enjoyed the trek on their own pace.

Trek The Himalayas (TTH) organization has done the best of their part. Starting from the day of registration, they have given lot of information along with meetings to clear all our doubts. The trek leader was well qualified and the guides were observing and helping everyone with care.

TTH team picked us from Rishikesh in two tempo traveller vehicles and it was a long drive to reach Sari Village - height 6550 ft. Sari is a beautiful village with few shops around. We went for a walk and soon gathered for tea + snacks. The TTH team introduced themself and briefed us about the trek. The night stay was in a cottage with manageable temperature.


Next morning, we started the trek at 9am as it was a short trek of 3km. The trek was through well laid stones with steeper path at times. We reached deoriatal camp site (height 7850 ft) by 12 noon with lot of breaks in between. The deoriatal lake had the reflection of mighty Himalayas and it was very nice to walk around the lake. The expedition trek by TTH was planned by 3pm. But me and Harshika didn't wait and started moving around the lake and into the forest starting 2pm. We walked more during expedition trek than that day's trek :-) Highly recommended to explore the area as we have lot of free time for this day.
Next day trek was through forest area with steep ascending and descending paths. As it was a long trek to chopta, we have taken packed lunch and started at around 7am. The streams on the way were frozen and we could take some ice swords for playing. It was a long walk for this day.
There use to be a common puzzle in south India - what is long during morning and evening, but short during noon? The answer is shadow. During our trek, Harahika pointed the shadow and asked why it never gets shortened even during mid day? Yes, the shadow never gets shortened during winter trek in Himalayas. You can find the reason yourself.

One more question from Harshika was how and who forms the path for the trek in mountains? Trek leaders answer was "the paths were created by shepards with help from government before the roads were laid". Further question comes now - how does shepards know to create paths. Then, I remembered the famous tamil novel "Velpari" where it is explained. I also told the story of the novel to best of my knowledge to few trek mates. 
Reference for Velpari book :  https://velparibook.com/

We had our packed lunch in a scenic meadow on the way. After a long trek and a short vehicle ride we reached baniyagund - height 8550 ft. This was the coldest spot of our trek. Though it was not very high in altitude, this place was very chill. All the water sources by the side of roads were frozen.

The summit day trek was through tungnath temple, India's highest Shiva temple (height - 11380 ft). It is said that panch Kedar temples were built by Pandavas to worship Lord Shiva after Mahabharata war and tungnath is the highest among them. 

The path to tungnath temple from chopta is well laid with hand railings useful for the pilgrimage trips. The temple is usually closed during winter expecting heavy snowfall. This year 2022 we were unlucky to not see any snow even though the trek was at the very last week of Dec. But still the temple was closed.


On our way we spotted Himalayan Monal, uttrakhand's state bird and Nepal's national bird. It was very beautiful. Also we were constantly seeing different varieties of sparrows in different size and colour throughout the trek. Even at the peak (12000+ feet), we could see tiny sparrows :-)

Chandrashila peak is visible from tungnath temple, but has steep path to climb. After a hard push we reached chandrashila peak - height 12100 ft. As we walked the steep route to chandrashila peak we could see mountains 180 degrees to us, but the view at the peak was amazing with 360 degree view of the mountains. 

It is said that chandrashila is the place where Lord Shiva was meditated by moon for escaping a curse given by King "Dhaksha Prajapati". King Dhaksha has cursed moon for loving his daughter Rohini. Moon's meditation for Lord Shiva was successful and moon partially got rid of its curse. This peak got it's name as chandrashila owing to this story (Chandra means moon).

We spent quite a bit of time over the peak and had the packed lunch over there -  Highest lunch we ever had :-). The wind at times made us feel like freezing cold, but the temperature was manageable as it was shiny too.
The return journey to chopta was on the same path as onward journey. This time me and Harshika took a straight path through mountains instead of following the well laid stone path for most of the time. We all were awarded with certificates from TTH team and then dropped at Rishikesh to finish our trek.

Ooh wow what a dad-daughter activity to do. Any Himalayan trek for that matter. It creates a lot of bonding and it is definitely recommended. Overall this is a nice trek with lot of good view of Himalayan peaks around. But this trek can be done as a do-it-yourself trek aswell since lot of times the path way is well defined.

My experience with Dayara Bugyal and Indiahikes

B Vijayakumar
Dayara Bugyal Trek
Dec 19 to Dec 24, 2021
"Where are you? Here
What time is it? Now
What are you? This moment."

Above is a quote from a famous inspirational book "Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives". Also available as movie named "Peaceful warrior".

Now, is it really a quote or just funny answers to silly questions? The author explains that focusing on current moment without thinking about past / future or location or surroundings is the way to attain self-realization and inner peace. With this you can achieve any goals in life.

While we were walking through the snow-covered meadows of dayara-bugyal-trek, I asked my trek leader Swarada when did it last snow here? She questioned back to me - what is the day today? I told its today (just for fun). She agreed and told that while we are here, we will not know the days. It made me think, yes, we do not know the day/ date. Later while descending also she told we are carefully stepping down to avoid slippage without thinking anything else. We do not think about past or future but just the next step we are about to take. I think this is one sort of mediation.



I have done a few marathon / treks before. They have given immense pleasure and were satisfying every time before. But whenever someone asks me why I do it, I have not been successful in giving a convincing answer. My recent trek to Dayara Bugyal in Uthrakanth made me realize so many things. Thanks to IndiaHikes, trek leader and other fellow trekkers.

I chose IndiaHikes to be my trekking organization and then chose the dates and then I was ok to take any available snow treks. So, I got Dayara Bugyal. When I registered for the trek, my only expectation was to walk through vast meadows filled with snow. But after trek I believe I have learnt a lot. The talk by our trek leader Swarada about history of IndiaHikes and why IndiaHikes wants people to trek itself gave me answers for why I do treks.

As per the plan, we reached Raithal village around 4pm in a cab from Dehradun. Altitude - 7096 ft. Our trek leader Swarada from IndiaHikes has already sent a video welcome message during our travel. Also, our experience coordinator Prathima had given lot of information on the trek from the day we registered so that we can be prepared for the trek. At Raithal we stayed in the new place setup by IndiaHikes for different treks starting from Raithal. The view from this place itself was great with Gangotri range seen on one side and the evening view was mesmerizing with alpine glow over the peaks. We got to see the glowing peaks during all the five days of our trek. Dayara Bugyal is one of the treks with most amazing view of peaks during almost all the time of trek.


Next day, we started walking around 9am after breakfast. It was a long walk before we reached GUI campsite at a height of 9630 ft. The walk was through the stone trails created by local villagers. We went past goat village with local people and then after some time we went through few stretches filled with snow. But the vast expanse of snow waited for our next days of trek:-)

During our walk, we passed by a coin tree which had lot of coins placed through the bark of the tree. It is a belief that the wish we make with coin inserted will be granted. I too used the coin tree :-)

 Evening was fun in the camp site, and we did an expedition trek followed by stunning view of alpine glow. Our trek leader organized some fun game before dinner and trekkers health check was done before we ended our day in the tents.


The next day trek was a short one but filled with amazing views. We spent a lot of time in GUI lake on the way which was fully frozen. We were able to do ice skating with trekking shoes on and it was such a fun to have ice skating race over there.

We also went past a small frozen water falls which was an amazing view. We reached Chilapada camp site for lunch. Altitude - 10400 ft.

It is said that “Antartica has the highest average IQ of any continent”. It’s because only scientists and researchers travel there ЁЯШК. Similarly, I believe for any Himalayan trek, we can expect high IQ people on board (including me haha). We can feel it by interacting with the trekking group. We got an amazing trekking group from different parts of the country. Some of them were with lot of experience on trekking. It was great to have interacted with them and learn a lot from them. Also, we got a kid in our group who did an amazing trek.




Next day was the summit day for which we started around 6am after breakfast. It was a tiresome walk for some time but as we reached the open meadows filled with snow the view was amazing with sun light joining to treat us. In no time we were surrounded by long long views of snow on all sides.


The final summit climb was steep but the view from top was so mesmerizing. Altitude - 11830 ft. The author of peaceful warrior says that "The journey is what brings us happiness, not the destination." But here both journey and destination were great.

While returning from the peak, we did slide on the snow at some places. It was very fun. After some time, we entered a thick forest area to descend instead of using the stone trails. It was so steep, and we had to focus on each step to avoid slipping. We had a night stay in Nayata campsite (Altitude - 9066 ft.) and continued the decent the following day. Reached Raithal around 2pm - Altitude - 7096 ft. The place was not as cold as we felt during the start of trek but that's only our feeling :-)

The IndiaHikes team have arranged couple of activities during trek like meditation, a minute of silence in the forest, hugging a tree, writing a letter of thanks to anyone etc. which all gave us a happy feeling.

Art of giving up

Winners never quit! quitters never win!!

From the childhood we have been taught that we should not give up and continue with our hardwork till we attain the goal. Quitting is usually seen as a sign of weakness. There are lot of quotes about it. Is it true? I have shared my view on the same in this article. 

I have been participating in matrathon events for the past couples of years. Thanks to Chennai runners, I have learnt a lot from these marathons. Usually we think marathon is a activity where we push our limits to attain the goal and increase our never give up attitude. But everytime before start of major marathon event I hear from the organizers that "there is always another Marathon".

They say we should follow our body and never over exhaust ourself. When I registered for full marathon and could only do 32km, I was happy that I could stop rather than pushing myself out of my ability. 

During my trek to kedarkantha peak in himalayas there was a married couple in our team. When the girl faced ankle pain, her husband said "going to peak is our aim but returning back home safe is more important. We can come here again later" and they stayed at the peak base camp. To me it looked like more courageous decision than pushing themself in attaining the goal. 

This applies to everything in our life. Anything we do we must push our limits and do not give up without reaching the goal. But how far is the question. Knowing when to quit is an art. 

We must be learning about ourself to find the limit. Also we can use the feedback mechanism to fine tune the limit. Based on the results from the past we can slowly increase the limit. But it's possible only if we have repeated opportunity. Example: during marathon practice sessions we can slowly increase the distance / speed everyday to find the limit at which our body will  fail to cooperate and stop at that point.  Most of the time we will not have that flexibility and need to decide on the spot. But quitting is necessary at some point in time. Knowing more about ourself will help in finding the right time to quit. 

Real winners know when to quit!!!

RWH


Recently a man hole was constructed in front of our apartments in Velachery, Chennai for metro water pipeline work. A big 10 feet deep 4*4 feet square hole was dug. Then a circular chamber was constructed in the center. Rest of the space was filled with debris and some cement work on top.

The cement work was not done properly leaving a hole as shown in the picture. 

This hole acts as a great RWH system for entire street. All the rain water from higher side of the street enters into this hole and nothing passes beyond this hole. This happened during last Saturday and Sunday heavy day time rains in Chennai.

Now, I am thinking if government plans big RWH systems in all streets and in parks, water will not enter from one street to another and entire rain water can be harvested. This has to be done in addition to the individual house RWH system as we see lot of water flowing in streets even after RWH for terrace water.

#rajinified

Sometimes we feel satisfied and would like the current action to continue for ever.  Example : sweet dream, train journey, vacation time spent with family etc.

Such an experience was for me to watch petta. I wanted the petta experience to continue for ever. So I watched the first half of the movie for three times before watching the full movie. Virtually I had petta experience for four days. #petta #getrajnified #rajnified

noraebang

Any guesses what noraebang means?

In some of the east Asian countries especially in Seoul, South Korea, people are crazy about singing songs in mike with speaker system. They have lot of places like our internet browsing centers which will have separate rooms with speaker system and lyrics book for Korean and English songs. A small group if people can go there and spend their time after paying on hourly basis. They also serve soju and other drinks with snacks and dinner based on the order. People like to spend their time in these rooms happily singing songs throughout the night.
They call this place as Noraebang which in Korean means song room.

When I was in Seoul, I went to a noraebang with my colleagues over there. It was a nice room with a display system to display the lyrics. We can search for a song and select to play the music and display lyrics. Then pick up the mike and sing the song. After couple of songs sung by my colleagues they asked me to sing a song. I told them I do not know English songs. They asked me again. Suddenly I remembered the song sung by vadivelu in a Tamil movie - sing in the rain, I want more in the rain... I told them this song and we searched for it. It was available and we all sang that song
together. Thanks to vadivelu for exposing me to at least that song otherwise I would have known none.
