I am a vivacious persona and in a while I can turn into a depressed maiden for no concrete reason.

Road trip to Page, Arizona.

High way in Arizona between sandstone hills. My better half completed the half-Ironman in Tempe, Arizona on 22nd of October in 5 hours and 50 minutes. Shariq with the wind beneath his wings finished the race within 5 hours and 34 minutes. Mary the youngest of the lot, persevered and finished this race strong within 8 hours 34 minutes.( blog on the race by Shray ) We had planned to visit Page, Arizona after the Ironman 70.3 event. Page was around 4 hours away from Phoenix. It is situated to the North of Phoenix around 281 miles away at an elevation of about 4118 feet. We basically planned to tour the Antelope Canyon and the Horse shoe bend on the Colorado river. #halfironman2017 #tempe #arizona A post shared by Jahnavi Mahanta (@jahnavimahanta) on Nov 4, 2017 at 2:41pm PDT Mary and Shray posing before their swimming leg commenced.

The lady in white

Pigeons eating pizza. I saw a poor homeless lady being pushed around in downtown last summer. She seemed to linger on the pavement beside my apartment building and sometimes in the afternoon and evenings she would park herself at the intersection of two roads a block away from my apartment. She wore disheveled clothes, had a permanent frown, her rag blonde hair was dry and matted due to lack of proper hygiene and care. Well for those people who have to think of each day as a struggle for survival , grooming is the last thing that might come to their minds. She was pushed around by a stout friend of hers who had a curly beard and wore baggy camouflage pants with a grey jacket which they might have collected from the goodwill a few miles away from downtown on Michigan avenue. Once when I was going to the gym I saw her fighting fiercely with him over something which I assumed was money or food. It could have been anything but since they were poor I thought it had to be either of t...

Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona

The steps that lead the Lower Antelope Canyon. This post is in continuation of my previous post about our road trip to Page . After having reached Page, we alighted from our respective cars and without wasting a second started unloading our luggage and most importantly our prized possessions, our bicycles. We filled two large luggage carts with our baggage while a few of us groggy with sleep and exhaustion barely managed to bring ourselves into the real world. In spite of all the pain, sleep and fatigue, we beautifully managed to get our bicycles, cycle carriers, luggage inside the lobby, unscathed. I spoke to the lady in the reception who seemed to belong to a Native American tribe. After verifying our credentials she asked us to show our respective credit cards to be able to charge us in case if we decided to destroy the rooms we had booked. Sangram groggy with sleep could not grasp the context. I merely asked him to give me his credit card which made him assume that ...
