Training

It has been more than three months since the last post. Since when I returned from leave, I have been busy with work related and more often than not other activities. In particular, the past three months have kept me away from the net. But then, these three months have been spent in toning up the body with lots of physical activity. The mind has taken a back seat. Another three weeks to go before it (the mind) takes over and physicals take a back seat. I have come to realize the immense potential of the human body in terms of taking physical strain, irrespective of the age factor. Of course, the mind still plays an important part in convincing the body that what might seem insurmountable at first is achievable, after some hard work and lots of willpower. When I arrived at this place, I had absolutely no idea what was in store. The stories that I had heard of the fun we would be having while undergoing training remained just that – fairy tales. The bubble burst in the first week itself. It was like jumping onto a roller coaster that was already speeding. We did not get time to settle down before being shaken, thrown in all directions. However, most of us here have now started enjoying the ride. Speculations is rife as to how many will complete this roller coaster ride. It has been fun to meet old (pun intended!) friends and go through these rigours together.
