You know you have a running problem when..

You open the website http://www.coolrunning.com/ the first thing in the morning even before you check your email

You go the same sports store for the 100th time and look at the same running shoe (you are too poor to afford it).

Your orkut/facebook page is full of enquires about running and your communities are only running communities

You look at a person running on the road and think that it is super cool

You think girls who run are hot

You wake up at 4:15 a.m and drink a litre of water

You go to a whacky restaurant and order thair satham or pasta

You avoid phone calls from your friends for parties and tell them later that you were travelling

Most of your emails are from runners talking about running

You travel to a new place, rush to the hotel, change and start running.

You base all your holidays on marathons in the area

You blog only about running

Shumit, I had no idea you became such a runner! Very cool, man.

I was just looking through old comments on my blog and found yours. Back when you left it I didn't have the internet at home and so I never spent time browsing other peoples' stuff. So here I am and I'll be back to read more of your blog.

By the way, I'm really obsessed with India these days. I think America is, in general. A month ago I was in Philly at the Marriott and there were all these gorgeous Indian women in saris -- they were there for a medical conference. I thought they were incredibly classy.

I'm into running too. I didn't know I was supposed to drink a liter of water at 4:15 am, though. I'm trying incorporate the morning run into my life. I usually go at 5 pm.
