Life Footprints – 50
Practicing for half-marathon………
During PhD, I was deputed to BARC, Mumbai for three months
long specialized training. Allotted separate room in hostel.
In blazing summer Sunday, friend from Lucknow visited. We
chatted for quite some time before he left at around 4pm.
While seeing him off, I was wearing only short knickers. A
sudden breeze locked the door with keys inside. Duplicate
keys available only from hostel office about 2km away.
Sprinting bare-foot wearing only short knickers, waving to
known faces reached hostel.
Next day colleagues of department enquired about my unique
attire.
No options but to lie of practicing for an upcoming half-
marathon…………….
