@ksogathur Strange for sure!!

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@keerthisiddeshw This is discipline!! Nice.

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@keerthisiddeshw I always can't take that last gel -- feel like puking!

@geeksonfeet I had no intention of running a marathon. My friend's company was sponsoring the Chicago Marathon and got me an entry. That's how it happened.

@keerthisiddeshw Happen once in a while. Move on. All the best for the HM.

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@HartoshSinghBal For a physicist like me, it appears that AI will be yet another tool. The danger is that the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" is going to increase. That is the worry.

@vinayakkm At this rate, you will lose your (virtual) voice!

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@keerthisiddeshw That shows that you have talent to be a good runner. You are yet to find your true ceiling. NDM 2027 will set a new lower bound on that.

A common expression is `obscenely wealthy'. Actually in reality, it is poverty that is obscene.

Good afternoon, all.

@DavidDack I've never checked. I do 40+40 every day.

@mathandcobb I have not given access to any of my drives on my computers. I only access through the web interface. I wonder if I am safe?

My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:

In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.

In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.

Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.

Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.

On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.

Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.

The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.

Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.

Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: https://t.co/cgLIoEXExG

@ramprakash0324 @keerthisiddeshw Rofl. 😀

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@ramprakash0324 @keerthisiddeshw Yes!!

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@DavidDack We used to have a group run to help someone run their first HM. Time was never an issue. The highlight would be the discussion of what we should eat during rhe run. Each would being their own thing and we'd try them out. Fun!!

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@ramprakash0324 @keerthisiddeshw I want you to read Luke Humphrey's book on the Hanson Marathon Method. It changed my perspective on running and chasing goals.

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@DavidDack 21+ years. Started at 40. Most of my PB were in my mid 50s.

[Suresh Govindarajan DLM @modularform]

@DavidDack I live in Chennai, India which is hot and humid. 80F/80% humidity is normal. I just don't think about it beyond hydration and run by effort rather than pace unless the session is based on pace.
