Dual life - in one page A4 Sheet

It is odd and rare gift for who born and brought in village and study and work on metropolitan cities.

In India, someone born and brought in village their life go along with village environment. They rarely move to city, except for business or Government related work. It may very short term visit. They will back village home after the work.

In Another case, someone born and brought in town or city their life goes along with city and city related cultures. It is very occasionally go and stay in village. They may go to grandparents or relatives home during festival session. Some time they may stay in resorts for short period.

In both cases, that short stay may or may not bring the complete understand or experience of the life style for both environment.

Both life styles have exclusive fun and unique memories.

Few of the notable points..

Village:

  • Living with nature
  • Pollution free environment
  • Living with livestock’s
  • Experience with cultivation and procedures
  • Sessions of monsoons
  • Moral values
  • People support
  • Helping to each other
  • Family values
  • Family and Village tradition
  • Fear to do mistakes
  • Village festival
  • Using the natural resources (lake, river and hill ….)
  • Environment surround by known people
  • Natural food
  • Village games
  • Speak Mother tongue fluently
  • Eco-living environment

City:

  • Fast life
  • Multiple career opportunities
  • Sustainability
  • Good education and diversity of course selection
  • Night life
  • Celebration of national level festivals
  • Medical facilities
  • Connectivity by any means
  • Multi-cultural people interaction
  • Adoption and adjustment with current available eco-system
  • Worldwide food in one place
  • Latest news up to second ( now days it applicable in villages also after mobile/internet/DTH Broadcast)
  • Lot of happenings
  • No caste system
  • Less fear to take risk in any opportunities
  • Knowing and speaking Multiple languages
  • Interested game can playable

Those points very much used by who got a chance to live both village and city. It can be called a Dual life.

I like to close this post with one open question!! ( ?? )

Use case: Accident happened for “X” Person

Location of accident: Village

Lot of people around you for moral support, but you won’t get advanced emergency care immediately; sometimes it may not possible to save the life.

Location of accident: City

Lot of medical facilities and advanced emergency care facilities are available to save the life. Around you people looks you to strangers. You may feel refugee. Unless you wake up and tell “Who am I “

It is up to individual to select and choose their life style.

Tata Consultancy Services Open10K Bangalore (27 May 2012)

In month of April, Announcement had came about TCS 10K Run. I was happy about that announcement because last year, I had registered but failed to participate due to health Issue. I registered with Vinod for this event.

I started my practice session in mid of April, but I discontinued my practice due to laziness. This time, I like to break my previous best 10K timings, it was last 2 years ambition.
Race day:

Our regular team ( Vinod, Karappusamy and myself ) reached the stadium around 7:00 am. We were rushing the fill the emergency details in back side for BIB number sheet.

As usual we filled our Suruli annan details for our emergency contact person. He is the man for us Guardian/Guide/ Friend for our all Bangalore based all personal decision. We Saw the Elite Run for Men and women. Now a days, I am could observe lot of changes in the marathon events everywhere. This year, BMW was the Official Running Partner. We got chance to see lot of world long runners including our Indian Olympics full Marathon Qualifier “Ram Singh Yadav”.


Our event started around 8:00 am. I like to finish with in 1 hr. Initial start up did not go smooth for me as well as complete race also. I was not able complete the Race within one hour.


I failed to achieve my targeted timings. The reason for this second time continuous failure..
1. No Proper training
2. No Commitment with Goal
3. Not worked the towards the Goals
4. Laziness

It is not big target; however it was clear failure for me. I am fixing my target to Hyderabad marathon. Let s achieve new my half marathon self best timing.

One of my friend (Ayan ) said that , Go and enjoy the event and come” at least I did that same.
Thanks to all my friends, colleagues and family members.

Ashok gave the welcome speech, introduction and object. One of our running members has done a program anchoring. His anchoring kept the program energetic and more enjoyable. Prize distribution and entertainment activists happened alternatively. Salsa dance was very attractive.

Group dance by Bangalore also very attractive. Around 10 different organizations gave lot of prizes based luck drawn in audience. As human nature I also expected some luck draw prize. Finally I got luck draw prize. That prize from “Life is calling”. It is running fee sponsorship for Mysore Dhasara Half Marathon, which going to happen in Oct. it was so happy. I checked my running fitness using one of stall. Goodie bag distributed for every participant. It made with paper bag.
Total event was very informative and colorful. I enjoyed event with same hobby people. My applause to event coordinators.
