The tale of a 4 year old marathon runner

SOCIETY

Budhia Singh a four-year-old boy from the state of Orissa in India ran into the record books when he ran 65 km on Tuesday. Well and fine... he is in the record books. But is his age right for such long distance running? Does the little kid know actually what he is doing? No idea.

This is the tale of thousands of children around the world. Budhia Singh's father died at an early age and his mother was forced to sell him. The coach of the boy rescued him. Fine.

Will the boy run such long distance in the scorching summer, if he had well to do parents? What are the criteria for taking part in marathon? Is a little boy of such ripe age fit for it? No body has answers to such questions. The television channels and newspapers in India are celebrating the achievement of the kid. A nation starving for medals Olympics sees him as a rising start?

One last question to the people who are applauding the achievement of the kid….will you send your four-year-old son or daughter to run for 65 kilometers in 36 degree Celsius.

No More News About 4 Year Old Marathon Runners Unless...

Master B. Singh is attacked and eaten by a tiger, mugger crocodile or more interestingly, perhaps a rogue bull elephant that snatches him from the race-course via his trunk and carries him off into the dark reaches of the jungle, where he becomes a play-thing for a troop of orangutans. Now that would be my kind of interesting Hindi news;
or if and when beef becomes a staple in the standard Hindi diet. Think of the Olympic Glory that could realized.

Badly said

I feel you comment is totally out of context.... and i can't enjoy the humor in it...

Yes, I happen to read it.

Yes Abhilash,
I read it and was amazed by his feat.
What a motivating story to children of his who spend most of their time in front of idiot box.

Idiot box is a major concern

But will the running of a 4-year-old take away youngsters from the idiot box..

Several Indian villagers walk hundred km. a day

but not in well publicised contests. It is the contest of earning a square meal. Even children do hard labour in tea stalls, motor cycle mechanic sheds, quarry stone cutters (limiless list) and their effort and stamina does not win any medals.

Well said polysubj

Nothing to add...a true comment

GROW UP ... The world is unkind at times!

at least that four year old indian boy still could run.. now, if you are ALL sooooooo REAL, why don't you ever consider those other babies dying in areas like Sudan, Haiti, and some parts of Africa? They NEED more than you and the marathon boy because they're dying every minute while you're there typing your asses off at some cyberstation. You do not have the monopoly of deserving sympathy more than them !!!!!!! Aside from the fact that you always think you have the most superior history based on some myths! Get your sympathies right first and maybe we'll believe you're ALL sooooo deserving.

I Often Dream of Several Hundred Indian Villagers Being

trampled to death by rogue elephants, attacked and consumed by either maurading mugger crocodiles or rabid Bengal tigers as well as the occasional vindictive venomous snake attacking villagers. There are just too many of you "Indian Villagers" and what with the global warming and the whole Bollywood epidemic I think a natural "culling of the herd" is in order. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and My Evilishly Best Regards to You and Yours.

Hello Back to You,Abhilash- Please Tell Me...

Someone tell me!

Bugsey,I wonder how many of the nineteen hundred or so guests...

...here right now at BP.com are Indian Villagers? I may have started a diplomatic incident...things seem to be working out so far as MY EVIL plan is concerned. All this talk has whetted my hunger for a Scared CowBurger. Yummy!
HEE-HEE-HEE, MOO-HA-HA-HA! Evil_Bob

E.B --From The Indian Village ... counting... 2030

Because my friend Vikki from Scotland is watching on our side, but is so pissed that she can't get IN blogger party because somehow she says the admi said her (helloooo !!!! Miss Brenda!) she has to get another email! There's an AIC (anti indian consortium) at the Helium site. No more peace and quiet anywhere in the blogphere!
Plus I get to read the same f******* legends about Ravana and Myth Heroes EVEN HERE... add four year olds who HAVE to go on a marathons and cheesey pieces like "What My Father Taught Me"!

Hello Bugsy

Where did you come from.... getting some advertisment in my blog. HA HA

bugsey's picture

I rather like Indian news.

I rather like Indian news. That India, India.
Now, you boys settle down.
As to the two thousand guests on the premises, what are they doing? They sure are slow to comment, that I can say.
65 meters. Well, that's not so far.
Great day, men!

India News, BBJohnny?...Well I suppose

...that since I have searched far and wide and it seems that the BP.com village idiot A-Bob has high-tailed it to parts unknown that I could possibly get used to the "news" from Hindi-Land...no, sorry I tried just now and...well, nothing. Back to disparagement of 4 year old long-distance runners, famously unfamous Hindi Actors and Directors such as Ash AbhishekMeOuttaHere and ManmohanMamaLama BlingBling.

I EAT MEDIUM RARE ....

Yummy beef from COW burger with lettuce salad. Why do they have this RED thing on the womens forehead by the way? Why is cow dung "sacred" in India? Tell me since you've been reading their cheap news. Asparagus Alfarabi Ravana Banana Mahaharata Allanwade... copy this , copy that, google this, google that!!!! they should stay in Helium Knowledge so that those who are trying to get "away" from all their Ravana Bananas have a safe blogging place free from pligiarism and Bollywood "characters' !

Hi

Miss Bugsey, Of The 2164 Guest- I will Only Claim...

...32 of my evil followers, the other 32 are probably yours and then we have the 2000 fellow villagers of the esteemed Mr.Abihilash or possibly his outsourcing co-workers at ACME Telemarketing. Sweet Lucifer I can only hope and pray that they are clicking on some of the ads here or this is going to be one huge F'ing exercise in futility for you and me.

I got so "beddy,beddy" worried that I double click here

My apologies to all that were expecting more of the same exciting and involved banter as what was found in the above comment. These things happen...indeed "beddy,beddy" common.

Blah Blah Blah.... yeah sure we grabbed yer blog

We ARE having a ball ALREADY! That whimpering won't work here. maybe that would in the Helium place because they need traffic so bad that they listen to your sobs about "feeling insuled" and all that bull, but here, ain't gonna work. ((handing you some decent "Wet Ones" to dry your tears))

Is This Like Urinating to Claim Territory?

Come now, Mister Deorre, You know that I laid down MY own-

- special blend of "scat" long before Abihilash cried "foul"...I felt obligated to defend my right to free-speech if you will. That, and I enjoy tormenting any member of the Bollywood Gang Of Five if I can.

Bugsey, Alas: 303 reads of this SH#%TY piece of blogvomitus-

...and I believe we may have perverbially "shot our self in the foots", well, actually I HAVE shot Raj, the House-Boy in his club foot twice because of this blog entry and he continues his incessant withering in pain on the floor as I write this comment... we have no one to blame but ourselves and 2000+ Indian Villagers (sigh!) Evil_Bob

Evil Bob - Thank you for all your comments

Thank you for all your comments but i rarely understood what you are trying to mean by all your comments. Anyway keeep going thanks......

Evil_Bob's picture

You Should Thank Me "Dot"

I am the reason you are looking at over three-hundred plus reads to your Blog-A-Vomitmus. Don't expect this kind of treatment on a regular basis and I still am working on the details to fly to India, find you and poke your eyes out with a sharp stick at my earliest convenience.
