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 🙂 …

My UK-based running friends Katha and Dave have emerged from lockdown with a vengeance, marking the start of the summer of freedom with an epic 12 hour challenge, a tough hill-walk in Yorkshire (my native place, I am proud to say). This is SUCH a great account of not only …
I’ll tell you what I saw. I saw my neighbourhood, after goodness knows how long 🙂 🙂 After weeks of lockdown, which I obeyed by staying home, today I finally had a taste of freedom. Since mid-April, I’ve walked up and down and up and down and up and down …
…was the unexpected headline of an article I read in my paper this morning 🙂 Just take a look at this, won’t you? Front page news in the Hindustan Times, no less. And yes, obviously I read this article with a whole lot more enthusiasm than the usual political stuff. …
