Ultra Run - 37.5 km - to raise funds for CFL

I plan to use my 37.5 km run at Sunday's Bangalore Ultra as a fund-raising opportunity for a small alternative school on the outskirts of Bangalore in southern India -- Centre For Learning.
http://cfl.in
The school (where my children study) depends in part on donor support for its capital expenses and outreach programs that involve working with children from the neighboring villages.
My goal is to try and raise at least 1,000 Indian rupees ($23 approx.) for every kilometer I run toward the school's corpus.
Anyone wanting to support this school can directly mail their contribution by following information given at this link: http://cfl.in/economics/information-for-donors/
thanks.

did someone say the word ``Republic'' and talk about the preamble to the Constitution which says

``we the people'' and the fact that the dispossessed and relocated villager and tribal and every

other man on the street are the ``Sovereigns'' and not the neo-colonialist bureaucrats and

government officials and judicial officers and police officers and sorry how can I forget that

all-important self-serving politician aka the people's representative (sorry, cough cough!) - I

meant a family's hereditary representative to loot n pillage public wealth -- unless and until we

fundamentally restructure the state and structure of governance in our nation we're going to

continue to have more violence and armed insurrections all across our land -- thought a frail old

man once said something about things like -- `India lives in its villages' and `there is enough for

everyone's need and not enough for everyone's greed' -- did someone say Gandhi (oh the guy in

the picture they hang in every goverment office - but who was he) -- hats off to meri sarkar for

acknowledging who the ULTIMATE MASTERS are -- not the VIPs n VVIPs n SPG protectees

and traffic stoppers...but the common INDIAN. more power to u!!
