Tah-dah! This is exciting. On an otherwise unbearably rainy weekend. (Apart from the drenched, rain-soaked long run I could log today). Anywho, 2019 has been a bit positive when it comes to reading and books. So doing my half-yearly round up of the books I have read so far. Because writing about books you read…

A race report of sorts. For my consumption. Also getting back to writing about running and races, which until a few years ago was a regular thing here. I had consciously stopped writing about running since 2017 because as much as I like it, I was not able to be consistent at it and discover…

Continuation from here. Prescript – as an afterthought I hardly bought any new books this year and read from the 2017 baggage/pileup pictured here. I am a little relieved to have cleared some of that load in 2018 😀 Known and strange things by Teju Cole – KT gifted me this book for my 2017…

Well, I have submitted to the fact that 2018 has not been a great reading year going by my reading cadence. The silver lining, whatever little I read I thoroughly enjoyed. As time measurement in human years goes, 2018 is about to end, so I am nursing my OCD by writing about the books read…

We shall bond over it later. GO!As Gina Linetti would say, ‘its the human form…

Pre-script – The parents were living with me for the past few months. And now they have returned to their home. And I am missing them terribly. And because I am a grown-up adult who talks with them almost every day, I decided to write about it and not tell them directly. Very mature.For the longest…

*Abysmal edition*I realized half of 2018 is over and I should take a stock of the books I have read so far. Very thrilled to report that I have hardly read anything! I have many excuses but an inability to find the motivation and the right books to read are the main. By right I…

was laden with laziness, procrastination and breaking the illusory comfort zone. (Is it really breaking it if you do something you like?) At times I need triggers. It had been 1.5 years since I had taken any break (read real vacation) at work. For that matter break of any kind. So I decided to go to…

I recently did an 11-day trek in the eastern Himalayas (Goechala) and these are the things I learned.Past learnings here. Sharing is way more than caring. It’s practical. It’s effective. It’s efficient. After bearing the inclement weather for a couple of days, we, a bunch of strangers, immediately switched to the strategy of sharing chai…
