» Ponn Virulrak, a successful architect, academic, and chairman of Light Up Total Solution, discovered his love for running in his 40s and embarked on this path of passion with full determination.

Through the turbulence, turmoil and trauma of going from being active to being home-confined by his inability to walk well, he began exploring mindfulness as a way to cope with his new reality.

» Nothing reminds me that I'm getting old (so are you, by the way) like seeing how much my former idols have aged, and the chances of realising this cruel fact has been quite high recently here in Bangkok, first with the Backstreet Boys' concert earlier this month, followed by Boyzone's performance on Sunday, soon to be followed by Blue next month. Should I also point out that some of these guys were popular when cassette tapes were still the mainstream medium?
