Lex Limbu | Ek Chin with‪…‬ Lex Limbu

Bhuwani Pandhak joins me for “Ek Chin with…” this week to talk about his journey from the hills of Taplejung to making it as a Gurkha soldier. The conversation touches on loss, grief and the drive to ‘make it’. He retired from the British Gurkhas in 2006 as a Gurkha Major after a 28+ year’s career and recently retired from a leading global security firm after working 15+ years as Accounts Manager.

Founder of Runderbolts, Ruden Bhutia joins me this week to talk about the running community that he has created! Runderbolts brings people together as they run, connect and make memories. It’s a movement that has seen runners take on European cities to various hubs across the UK. In the conversation, Ruden talks about his motivation, doing the London Marathon 2022 twice in one day and the push to make running more inclusive and diverse. Ruden is also on the Inclusion Advisory board for the London Marathon.

Along the way, the Marketing Communications and Advertising grad and the Runderbolts team have raised thousands of pounds for several charities and created a growing community with people from different cultural backgrounds. Their 10k runs, treasure hunts and fun-runs are encouraged for everyone and anyone! As he says, it’s not about speed but taking part!
