? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What is Athletics all about ? Is it just about speed and power or is there more to that ?Probably it is an event which is an expression of our latent desire to compete against our partners in evolution and test our endurance.It is a celebration of passion,excitement,defeat and most important of them all victory....
The last few days have been a roller coaster as far as emotions and expectations.With plenty of people disappointing and some showing enormous resilience I have been caught up in a cacophony of emotions.The second year in IIT was all about tempo and enthusiasm.Things were perfect and orderly and yet these perceptions have changed as time has flowed past.These brilliant additions to the lexicon of every KGPian have been blatantly misused time and again for personal gains in the hope that one's popularity can soar.People can be brilliant actors...what more to justify this than the expression of the hidden Janus within us.What is winning an event all about....why does a Hall celebrate a victory..is it because we really enjoy that victory or we are expected to enjoy that victory.And yet request to be a part of the sacrifice that goes into making that victory possible are scorned upon and derided.Our society shows two extreme kinds of emotions towards Bohemians....either Hero Worship them or Ignore them.It depends on how the rules of Probabiliy favour the tossing of the coin.
Probably I am confused and the above paragraph may seem like the rantings of a lunatic....i think that i need some rest....
