There are songs you hear, that you remember so well, but somehow don’t think of in a “running playlist” kinda way. And then all of a sudden… Well, that’s what happened when I read a guest blog post written by one of my running friends, Navi Singh. He wrote a …
One of the many unexpected joys of starting to run goes as follows: run -> need music -> make playlists -> get recommendations from my children -> makes me feel all young & up-to-date 😛 Of course, I choose to ignore the fact that my son Hari’s recommendations usually come accompanied by a sarcastic …
WHAT. A. Song. Always loved this song – actually I love most of what Billy Joel sings – and it is a great one to run along to, singing my little out-of-tune heart out 🙂 bpm 145 If you want to add this track to your running playlist …
As a parent, this is actually the sort of advice I should mete out to my own children, but since they are all grown up & sensible, perhaps I should rather advise myself 😛 This song makes me happy – though the beat is disconcertingly fast to try and run to – …
First watch the track of this great Bollywood song and then I’ll tell you why it’s on my playlist – not that such a catchy song really needs any explanation, to be honest! This is from the film Dil Dhadakne Do and has been played at just about every wedding I’ve …

Just scared myself silly by checking out the website for ADHM. I KNOW it’s only 8 days away, but seeing that date with destiny written down formally, scared the bejeezus out of me. Totally and utterly unprepared does not even begin to describe things. So, instead of doing some useful …
Yes, yes, yes. I’m a complete QUEEN-oholic. Love their music. There are loads of their songs on my running playlist, and since I am practically word perfect, I can sing along as I run. #Ihavenofriends 😛 Here’s a deliciously retro clip from Top of the Pops, of all things… bpm …
Hey. No judge-y eye-rolling please. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of Ricky Martin. Nothing. At. All. I can SEE that eye-rolling from here, you know. I parented teenagers, so there’s nothing in the eye-rolling department that you can teach me… 😛 Catchy song. 178bpm Handsome bloke. Lyrics I can …
