30 plus, Jeetendra and other stories...

A long time ago, jumping Jack Jeetu was on TV advertising a product called 30+. The premise of the ad was that you lose some vitality when you cross 30 and hence needed supplements.

2 days ago in the Bangalore edition of BEQ 2008 (in which incidentally we got whipped and didn't even qualify), I answered something that evaded all teams on stage. Derek in his usual style asked my name and since the theme for this year was retro anyways, said "You are Dharmendra, I am Jeetendra!" and even had a pic taken with me and posed for the cameras!

Eerily enough I was reminded of Jeetu yet again as I turned 30 a few days ago. Nothing special happened except that I ran for the 2nd time in less than a week. I have now resumed running after the docs at Manipal have said there is nothing apparently wrong with me :) Add to that a fun lunch with office folks. This year's reading target has taken a huge hit (no pun intended) with current work load. I plan to remedy that with a sabbatical later in the year.

For now, hope to recoup on the 3 day weekend
