There are days when I acknowledge that I really, really do not deserve the generous running friends I have. People kindly share their running photos with me and…I dilly-dally and post them 2 weeks later. Guilty as charged, Tina 🙁 Not so long ago, Shanghai-based Tina Kanagaratnam featured in a …
I’m going to answer my own question with an almost-flippant counter-question…as in “What did I NOT see on my run today?” I am in Bangkok, by the way, and set off to do my scheduled training-plan 10km early this morning, before it got too hot and humid. PLUS I wanted …
This is one interesting, happy-making read. If you love dance (as I do), if you are interested in a fun way to try and keep fit, or even if you are a non-dancer but interested in psychology, this book is for you. The author, Dr. Lovatt, is a former professional …

Not gonna lie…Srinagar is VERY much on my mind today, because I was supposed to be there, before heading off on a mountaineering trip. But fate had different plans for me, so the trip was reluctantly cancelled and here I am, wilting in the crazy Delhi heat and wishing I …
I have Shanghai based Tina Kanagaratnam to thank for this interesting post. I’ve only met Tina once, and that, too, briefly, on a “Historic Shanghai” walk led by her and her husband on our last visit to the city, but we had actually been in cyber-touch before that. Tina had …
Today, June 5th, is – as many of you already know – World Environment Day, and to mark the event, this morning a group of Delhi schoolchildren were initiated into the environmentally friendly practice of plogging. I’ve blogged before about plogging, and will share some links at the end of …
