For (shockingly) only the 2nd time in 2014, I met up with my gang of girls to go running this morning. It was damp and grey and a little chilly, but utterly brilliant to meet up (after far too long) with these inspirational ladies + our mentor Dr Chauhan + …
On a nice but chilly-although-vaguely-spring-like Sunday afternoon, after a big family lunch, the only thing to do is to go and run. Well, at least that’s what I decided to do yesterday, and so I headed off to the Aravali Bio-Diversity Park in my neighbourhood. Very few people walking in …
Last week a group of 6 of us went to Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, and it was totally brilliant. Unbelievable tiger sightings. I will put up specific blog posts on the park anon. The park is closed on Tuesdays, which is the day we arrived, so after flying Delhi …
I went for a run a few days ago in my local Biodiversity Park, in what passes for an upmarket part of Delhi. I have recently discovered this park and have blogged about it earlier, but my latest run was a mixed bag of emotions. Delight to be running, as …
The annual Walk for Life, organised by the admirable CanSupport here in Delhi is a fixture of the winter calendar, and I don’t know how they do it, but they almost always have lovely weather for it. After a week of miserable fog, today dawned bright and sunny, and we …

We spent 2 wonderful days over new year with our very dear (and – please don’t get me wrong here, my dears – very old) friends Vineeta and Anish Trivedi, who are living the Bombay dream. By not living there, basically, and living instead in the beautiful countryside in Alibaug, …
I haven’t been to the Aravali Bio-diversity in Gurgaon since last summer, when I used to train there with a friend in the baking summer heat for our Mentok Kangri climb. Fast forward to a horrid grey, cold, damp, January morning when I found myself back there with my running …
Last weekend, driving up from Karwa, we spent a night in Pune with cousins whom we haven’t seen for a while, and we had a brilliant catch up. After so many hours in a car, I needed my running fix, so on a quiet, warm Sunday morning I went out …
So much for my New Year resolution of trying to run every day. It lasted pretty much for the first week of the year, then all the traveling hither and thither seriously messed things up. What I did manage to do, however, despite 2 weddings and way, way too much …
