And do run at Kukkenahalli Kere the next time. The free runs might soon be over, I heard that Mahanagar Palike folks are planning to make it a paid entrance in a couple of months.<br /><br />@ahmedabadonnet- Thanks mate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253145491300349023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522841452945028116.post-65795996005011051172012-02-05T22:56:22.939-08:002012-02-05T22:56:22.939-08:00You're very right.

In the long run, things will change for better....<br /><br />BTW, are you from Mysore? Good to know that.

Scratch the surface of the big names and you will find some sound professional qualification. And so all the Ponappa of India should study and have a proper degree whilst pursuing their sports career. As to funding, i shared recently the concept of us Runners opening a Trust Fund that will allow aspiring talent - runners in our case - to pursue their passion whilst some degree of finance/support is provided to them. Issue arose of "how to recognise this talent".
