All in a day’s run

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 …

What did you see on your run today? #454 comes from the cool hills of Uttarakhand

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 …
