Small Victories, by Utpal
“Sometimes when people see us running maybe it looks to them that it is just easy running. We are going slowly, no problem. But it is not like this. Every lap is a fight. And when you complete each lap it is a very small victory and each day when you finish it is also a victory.” When 37 year old Baladev Saraz started his 7th day of running here he had so far accumulated 688 of these small victories or laps of the course. Not very many perhaps when you consider he will still have to complete another 5,000 of them in the 45 days he still has left here.
