Runversation: Of running and finding happiness

Happiness is not something readymade. About two decades back, Vishwanathan Jayaraman, an IIT graduate, government servant and a true Gandhian, stumbled upon running to get over his habit of smoking. From struggling to run 100 metres to running 30+ km every day, this fragile, bespectacled, bare-chested khadi-shorts clad man runs for leisure and running is his daily dose of enjoyment. During his two decades of running, he ran a 100 km race and ran six days from Dandi to Sabarmati Ashram covering 330 km reminiscing about the historic march. “We all choose to move and run for a number of different reasons, but there is nothing like stepping out of doors, running for the pure love of running, and bringing you one step closer to being able to push yourself further than you ever imagined.
