AKASH DUBE – THE TERRY FOX RUN, CHENNAI 2012
26th AUGUST 2012
The weather Gods
smiled today after having shed their tears last night. The morning was
beautiful, cool with a faint inkling of a drizzle after last night’s heavy
thundershowers, in the pristine campus of IIT Madras. The crowd was already
there in the open air auditorium with the Army band playing, waiting for the run to start. Today for the
first time since the ‘Run’ was started by him in Chennai he was not there physically,
but his spirit hovered around as you watched the faces of the crowd gathered
there. It was a fitting homage to an inspiring soul. One could see the joy and
the sense of satisfaction in the eyes of his parents who were present there, his
dreams having been translated into a reality.
I repeat what I had
written in my earlier posting ‘Akash Dube – An Obituary’
“He represents the
indomitable nature of the human spirit. How I wish that we can make our life as
authentic as his. May be we are too comfortable in our situations”.
