Mumbai on heels!!
Bhaag D.K Bose…!!
If you think these people are inspired by this song then you seem to be in the
different world. Mumbai was on the move for marathon held in the city this
morning. A huge congregation of people participated in one of the biggest annual sporting events in our city. People from different walks of life
participated in this event. Almost forty thousand people
were seen enjoying the Sunday morning cheer. It seemed weather god was too
interested in marathon thus making the day bit warmer.
The dream run in which around twenty thousand people with banners, balloons, cheers, shouts, lots of cheers, dancing on the way and a few yawning, lazy chumps stood off the tracks.
In the crowd
a person with leaned body, support stick in hand, barely able to walk was participating in this
marathon to give a message to the young generation to live life to the fullest
by spreading love and harmony…his age 99YEARS!!! SHOCKED!! SURPRISED! Even I was too.
Senior citizens were seen enjoying,
dancing their heart out, some giving social message, some dressed in patriotic
avtars. Hats off for these young lads… hip hip hurray!!
Later wheel chair events or we could say on
the chair were special kids running a midst the soundtrack Tare zameen par!! You
could sense the air of positivity, motivation and a message “No one could stop
us from running” Young red haired boy, innocent, full of energy, disabled due
to autism, shying away from camera with a pluck card in hand with an
interesting message, "We live in
your world, but play in ours”. We always demand more and more from life
but after watching these guys out there, having fun and cheering each other I felt
I was just left out in this crowd were happiness was of importance and we
people in this world are lost behind our ambitions and a run for money. The world
they belong to is very special in which they are safe, happy, satisfied, love
and care and in our world were jealousy, hatred, ambitions, money and wants which
never ends has tangled our life.
At the end of the day I felt motivated, inspired by these special people,
and the effort worthwhile celebrating Mumbai’s remarkable spirit. Once again we
Mumbaikar were at the best in showing the true spirit of what we call ‘Bambaiya
style’....
YEH HAI MUMBAI MERI JAAN
