Hello!

I thought awhile abt what to name this blog.. my first ever blog. Should it reflect what I write abt? Would it restrict it's scope? Should it be general? Or something like Divya's Musings.. catchy? A tongue-twister? Something that will have you searching WordWeb?
Didn't think much, so settled for 'the things I do..' coz it is literally gonna be abt the things I do! :D Sounds perfect 2 me! So if y'all find it boring- back off!!

On Sunday August 31st, me along with thousands of Chennaites ran (read as jogged, walked, slogged) the first ever Chennai Marathon. Titled The Great [I Love]Chennai Run, it kicked off at the War Memorial at 0750 hrs with actor Surya sporting a blue tee and a big smile, cheering us on. Man, is he short!!
Abreast with Anu Hassan and her gang for quite a while, my friend N waved a stray balloon as we sought our 15 seconds of fame n glory.. Do air us NDTV!!

A hot morning, a sea of people sweating, panting, laughing and talking, it was exhilarating experience!! What seemed a daunting task became a pleasure. We finished the 7km run with relative ease and a deep tan.. A surprising number of kids participated, most of whom finished the entire course. Hail the future Olympic champs!!
And hats off to the few interspersed bands who had us pepped up!

A wonderful way to end the month and an exciting beginning with this blog..
