À propos de cet audio
As 2024 comes to a close, I decided to try something new. In this special episode, I’m joined by Vignesh to unpack our thoughts on The Day I Became a Runner by Sohini Chattopadhyay. We begin with Vignesh’s journey into becoming a sports fan in Kerala, reflecting on how reading newspapers shaped his perspective on sports.
From there, we dive into the book’s rich layers, discussing topics like the challenges female athletes face to play, the triumph of breaking barriers like the Boston Marathon’s gender restrictions, and the heartbreaking reality of gender tests. Vignesh also shares how he was profoundly moved by Ila Mitra’s story and the broader lessons the book offers about sports and education.
In a thought-provoking moment, Vignesh draws a powerful analogy between sports and the social impact space, highlighting how both often glorify traditional success over the learnings gained from trying.
Tune in to hear our reflections, insights, and takeaways from this incredible read!
