Mangaluru, Feb 16: Leaving spectators awestruck, Karnataka's Srinivasa Gowda ran 142.5 meters in 13.62 seconds at traditional buffalo race Kambala, following which people started comparing him to former Jamaican Sprinter Usain Bolt.
Gowda, who is from Mudbidri town, accomplished the feat during a Kambala race in a paddy field in Kadri on February 1.
"People are comparing me to Usain Bolt. He is a world champion, I am only running in a slushy paddy field," said Srinivasa Gowda.

Much from the corporate and business atmosphere is accounted by the New
York Stock Exchange and also the Wall Street situated in Lower Manhattan thus implying the presence of a large number
of executives many of whom wish to travel in style.
You can sit around and loose time waiting for your flight, or you can rent an automobile,
or catch a bus and have a good time. Use a limousine service on any special occasions, to make them memorable for
everyone.
