Time kya ho raha hai uncle?
I rarely go for morning walks. In fact a morning walk is almost like an annual thing for me. Once in a year I might actually have the interest of waking up early morning and going out and walk aimlessly.
Well today happened to be one of those days….i woke up around 630 in the morning in a pool of sweat. One rarely has to suffer power cuts in Mumbai and this was one of those rare occasions!
Without a fan or the net….not to mention I am yet to possess a TV here….and without any roomies….it does get a little boring!
So…what to do?!
Let me go for one of those morning walks! Peeped out of the window and noticed that it was actually pleasant….a few black clouds suggesting showers later in the day…
What do morning walkers wear? I would be the last one to possess a morning walker’s attire….so just set out in a jeans a tee and Trekking boots!!! :-)
In my 8 months here (at Ghatkopar :-s) this was the first time I’d set afoot outside at this early hour. I was shocked to know that there’s a park at a 5 mins distance from my place!
Oh! the little joys of life!
Anyways the main point of this post being – just as I was getting back (those who’ve been to my place – I was crossing the shady gully!), a lil kid asks me – Time kya ho raha hai uncle?!
UNCLE?!?
I’m 21, in decent shape – not that I need to go out for morning walks n jogs daily and the kid could have noticed that I wasn’t wearing a watch…..what did he mean by Uncle?!
I’m an alien in the world of Morning Walkers…..but are all Morning Walkers old? Uncles and Aunties?!
Or was it the kids way of being respectful!
Whatever it was….i feel old!

Hi
There is going to be a Blogcamp in India on 16th of June. Around 250 bloggers will be taking part in the event.
This is what they say on their blog: "The way unconferences work is that, you don't have an agenda, rather we will put up a white board, where participants will themselves add the topics they are interested to speak upon. Depending upon the number of speakers we will go for multiple threads. There will be some intense discussions, we will have a lot of fun and yes there will be blogging, video blogging, photo blogging, podcasting ... everything under the blogger sun."
The registrations have started. We are planning to have 250 participants from all over the country. There are some people taking part virtually, using youtube, slideshare, skype etc. if you are interested please add your name to the wiki.
