today's run at Borivli National Park

Had a good run today at the Borivli National Park, reached the top in 48 minutes and did three rounds of step climbing. Did more running than walking today, compared to last time, finished one round and a bit more in 1 hour 42 minutes. Running in BNP is an absolutely great experience.

Today's run at Goregaon

What a morning today was, and what contrast to two days ago, when it was all hot and steaming. Today morning I went for a run behind Inorbit Mall and then onto the Mindspace Park, which is an absolute beauty. It has a joggers track of about 1.3 kms loop, which consists of two gentle slopes and one staircase. The park is beautifully landscaped with various plants, flowers and greenery, which is breathtaking. Little into my run, it started raining and kept a steady drizzle thereafter throughout my run. I did about 6 loops inside the Park and then some on the road for a total of 1 hour 52 minutes, non-stop running. The exhaustion of two days ago was not there, probably because of the rains. It was exhilarating running under a drizzle.

Mukul Shivputra

Heard Mukul Shivputra, Raag Jaijaivanti & Kedar today. It is the first time that I am listening to this reclusive son of Late Pandit Kumar Gandharva. He has a powerful voice and style that is unique just like his late father.

today's run at Aarey

Had a good run at Aarey Forest today, starting at 6.15 a.m. in extremely warm and humid conditions. In view of the overbearing heat and humidity today, could do only 62 minutes, planned to do more, but unable to continue further. I guess the weather will continue to be like this all throughout October increasing in humidity further.

Bucket List

Bucket List is a movie in which one wishes they were on the cinema doing all those things Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson were doing. Bucket List is the list of all things one wishes to do before kicking the bucket, that's why the name. Both are cancer patients, having met in the same room for treatment in the hospital owned by Jack. Morgan is a car mechanic having no means to fulfil his desires, but with Jack's money they manage to cross out almost all the items in the list, in the process Jack transforms into a better human being. A brilliant movie with grand performances by two old men Morgan and Jack, must see

Sleeping Murder

Miss Marple's last case is another beauty. This book is typical of Agatha Christhie in that one does not ever know who is the killer despite best efforts at peeking into her words to detect hints. An eighteen year murder, an assortment of characters and a stunning climax.

Bad Company

Anthony Hopkins is a delight in any movie of his. This was too good, with Chris Rock, providing the afro-american humour. It is an action packed movie typical of Hollywood, a bomb getting in the wrong hands, and our heroes swing into action. Good movie.
