Guruji is Dying

When I was running, at one point two Indians were passing me. One of them said, "Namaste, Guruji. Namaste, Guruji."
 
Then the other one said, "Oh, Guruji is running."
 
I said, "No, Guruji is dying."
 
They said, "Don't die, don't die!"
 
They were both wearing T-shirts with my picture on the front, which they had gotten at some other race.
