"Sir, Batsrang came 2nd in Delhi Half Marathon, here, talk to him..", said a panting voice over phone from the finish line. Batsrang sounded ecstatic and exhausted at the same time. What a great achievement and proud moment for Meghalaya. I conveyed to him the joy he has given to all of people here.
After some time, the panting voice called again. The organizers had mistaken him to be running in the elite category. He had actually come FIRST in the regular event. Elated, I now pondered, had he participated as an Elite Runner, he could have still made it to the podium. What a talent he is. Amateur, Elite, pro-runner, there are just adjectives, labels at best. What is certain, is that this guy, is born to run!
