Great song, with such a catchy beat, to which I sing along, out loud & off-key, as I trot around my local park. The song is not that fast, as bpm goes (130) but it’s got a nice and steady regular beat, making it good to run along to. And, …
This HAS to be the song of the day, right, after it was played as the fireworks for Joe Biden exploded in the Delaware sky. I already loved the song, but I didn’t know the poignant back story, connecting it to Mr. Biden. It was, apparently, one of the favourite …
Any song that has upbeat lines like: “We can be the champions, we can own the nightThis could be the greatest moment of our lives Fighting ’til the last in the dust, no, we won’t back down(Champions, champions)It’s time to let the whole world know” is a winner in my …
This fabulous track “WONDERFUL” is now well & truly on my running playlist, thanks to my equally wonderful son who seems to know exactly what kind of music his ol’ Mum would like 🙂 And he is so right. With our family love for Africa (where we used to live), …

One of the young women in my ASICS Running Club, Anyuta, who is Q-ing an A-ing with us today, shared one of her favourite running tracks. It is “Aa jao na” from the recent film “Veere di Wedding.” It’s a mellow song, and quite perfect for a nice steady long …
A week to go till the Mumbai marathon, and so obviously I’m in nervous countdown mode. Can’t really make up for all the non-training and the non-stretching and the non-yoga, at this late stage, now can I? So I’ll tweak my playlist. That’s constructive, right? And so, in this spirit, …
Good Lord, how on earth did I not already have this on my playlist? Seriously 😛 Thank God for friends like Preeti Sethi Chima who, as a fitness instructor, knows her way round motivating music. Like “Sweet dreams”. bpm? See, I knew you’d ask! bpm=125 & so I’ve put this …
