Time Stops at Shamli

Just finished reading "Time Stops at Shamli" a collection of  short stories by Ruskin Bond, a reader comparable only to RK Narayan. Beautiful stories about hill town people and their lives, Bond writes with empathy about animals. All the stories are good, but the undoubted best was "Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright"

BNP - sunday, 21st march 2010 - hill sprints

Did hill sprints in Borivli National Park today, a hilly slope of about 800 metres. It keeps climbing gradually, not too steep, but manageable for more than 2 rounds that i did today, certainly 4 next time. Before that did an easy 5 km on the alternate route, which had too climbers. overall good workout today.

Aarey Forest - Saturday, 20th march 2010

Went to aarey forest today for my running, after few months, it was good effort, 1 hr 3 mins. Aarey challenges you like nothing else, there are inclines aplenty leading to a good workout.

Juhu Beach Run - Tuesday, 16th March

Did a juhu beach run on tuesday, 16th march 2010 for one hour 4 minutes. the stretch from end to end is about 3 kms, great to run on a beach, good for the endurance, good for breathing.

IPL Tamasha

The IPL tamasha is back. With Sidhu back as one of the panel commentators, this is a sure shot remedy for driving away viewers from the event. Thank you Set Max, now I have a reason not to watch the matches.

easy run - saturday, 13th march 2010

Did an easy run of 30.49 minutes, basically coming back into running after one week layoff, so took it really easy. With the heat wave going on, decided to restrict my running today also in view of tomorrow's run at the BNP. A bit stiff to start with, but later on it was quite smooth and rhythmic all the way. Felt great running today.
