I’m a firm believer in better late than never, and so this running post from last Sunday fits the bill perfectly 😛 My running friend Mukul Oberoi, who has written guest posts for us before, has an infallible eye for the quirky, the unusual and the beautifully scenic, as he …
My running mate Dilawer Khan, who has shared photos and guest-blogged for us before, has EXCELLED himself today. Dilawer lives and works in Jammu, but is currently visiting Srinagar in Kashmir, and sent me photos from his run this morning. Gorgeous views of Dal Lake with the houseboats and shikaras: …
Delhi (where I live) has been reeling under a heatwave for weeks now, and the monsoon that we were told would arrive “the earliest ever!!” has faffed around and is now scheduled to be “the latest ever!!” This morning I headed out to my local park in brutal heat and …
Sitting sweltering in Delhi’s heatwave, I was green with envy at the thought of my friend Neeraj running in the cool hills of Uttarakhand. Neeraj and I used to run together…no…let me rephrase that… …Neeraj and I used to be part of the same running group (this was back in …
If I tell you that this is the 3rd guest post in a row from my mate Mukul Oberoi, kindly do NOT shout “favouritism”!!! All you have to do is run like him and take smashing photos like him, send them to me, and then we’re A for away 🙂 …
Again. “WHAT??” do I hear you exclaim, “Not ANOTHER post from your mate Mukul, who is swanning around Goa, while we urban types WILT in the heat?” Well, yes, actually. Sorry ‘n all, but my friend Mukul is indeed our guest blogger for the second time in as many days, …
My friend Mukul Oberoi shared some fab photos from Goa, where he has been running on the beach, lucky, lucky fella. Mukul is making a come-back after a few non-running weeks, and I suspect every other getting-back-into-shape-after-a-break runner knows exactly what Mukul is going through. I know I certainly do …
A couple of weeks ago I visited Bhopal for the first time, and was blown away by the “zoo”. I use the quotation marks advisedly, because Bhopal Zoo is not at all a zoo in the conventional sense of the word. It is actually a National Park within the city, …
Sanjay, one of my cyber-mates in our online running WhatsApp group, shared with us a video from a station in Delhi where, if you do 30 squats, you get a free platform ticket. I’ve seen these schemes in other countries – Russia, I think? – but never here in India. …
We decided to escape from the annual horrors of the Diwali pollution in Delhi, and so we’re in the Himalayas for a few days, staying with friends in Mussoorie. Last night it poured down, absolutely threw it down. At one point, there was the mother of thunderclaps and the room …
