today was the LTC dry run.
it went on ok..
kinda lost my cool but i couldn't help it.
it usually happens during camps
oh well... no point talking about it
i didnt really mean to 'scold' anyone..
i'm still a nice person :)
hahaha
when i came home today..
elder bro prepared for me a peanut butter sandwich.
so sweet :)
and then we were watching TV together....
we saw this program on Arts Central about
BUDHIA.
wat an inspiration that 4 year old was!
he ran 67 km without stopping!
let me tell you a little about Budhia.
Dad: Heavy alcohol drinker ; abuses family
Mom: Has 4 children, Budhia is the youngest. Monthly salary: less than 3 pounds a month.
His dad spends more than half of it drinking. Budhia was sold for 10 pounds to his coach at at the age of 3. His coach accidentally discovered that Budhia has an extraordinary ability to run. You know how he discovered?
When he first adopted Budhia and brought him over to his place, Budhia was very rude to his students. Budhia's coach has his own judo academy in a small town in East India. So, as a punishment, Budhia was asked to run continuously until the coach came out and told him to stop. But what happened was, the coach forgot that he gave the small boy the punishment....and went out. When he returned after six hours, Budhia was still running! can you imagine?!
Since then, he has been training Budhia to run and he wants Budhia to become an olympic champion one day. His training is darn hard and he never lets the boy to drink water while running . Some say, its a very inhuman decision to let a 4 year old to run over 60 km! But the coach believes that there is nothing wrong. The whole program itself moved me la.
I'm not gonna comment on anything but all i can say is he is the first 4 year old to move me this much.
Hats off to you Budhia.
The champ and his proud coach.
