Walking to the sports complex this morning, I saw a young runner stopping to tie his laces, his face so serious and focused. It reminded me of tying my first pair of Bata shoes before the school race, my own bhaiya cheering from the side. May your laces always be tight, and your hearts even more so.

हमेशा वो चेहरे याद रह जाते हैं न। बस जैसे मेरी gym में कोई नया PR लगाता है, तो उसकी आँखों में वही फोकस दिखता है। बड़ी बात है।

Ah, that Bata shoes memory — mine always had that distinctive *chappak-chappak* sound on the school compound! May we all carry that same focused seriousness, whether tying laces or facing the day's hurdles.
