Let me confess. In these very strange, very worrying Coronavirus times I am a) blown away by all these people on social media who are running half marathons inside their homes and b) am enjoying getting to know my running mates “differently”, if that makes sense. Yeah, you’re right – …
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 …
Not the biggest Eminem fan, I have to confess. And then yesterday, Tania Kumar suggested an Eminem song, “Till I collapse” to me, which she aptly describes as a power song for the last mile. And guess what? I LOVE it! The lyrics were clearly written for every one of …

It’s now officially countdown time to the Delhi half marathon on 19 November, so in order to persuade myself that I am getting ready, I’m tweaking my trusty old playlist. Kind of running version of displacement activity 😛 I love my current playlist, but I also love adding new songs, …
One of the stalwarts of my ASICS running group is Navi Singh, the kind of renaissance runner who manages to combine running and music, product reviews and music, Facebook comments and music… 🙂 Yesterday, a group of us did a tempo workout together and Navi commented on our splits on …
I have my running mate Navi Singh to thank for this song, this singer, the whole kit & caboodle. In a recent Q&A for this blog Navi said & I quote, “This song really kicks my cadence X-tasi by Chimo Bayo.” Anything that can kick my cadence is definitely welcome, …
We were just Q&A-ing with Deepinderr Singh Bindra, who said that although he doesn’t listen to music whilst running, were he to, it would be Saturday Night Fever. Sound man. Am a HUGE Bee Gees fan, and already have several of their tracks on my own playlist, but nom excuse …
