We have been simply trying to shift our RO to a new abode @EurekaForbes . And it has been three days of constant ‘anytime’.
What’s the use of a high market share and an AMC with such a broken system.

3rd year runniversary
A brief about my three years of running journey
When I decided to start running in November 2020, I was the most unlikely to be a runner:
🔴Was nearing 50 (aged 49),
🔴Weighed about 100 Kg
🔴Suffered from pain due to ankylosing spondylitis,
🔴Hard pressed for time due to work commitments,
🔴No prior experience of sports or running.
However, I usually do not give up, once I decide. So, I made a plan so that I can achieve my dream of being a runner. Changes made in my lifestyle:
✅Reduced working hours to 8-9 hours/day,
✅Preponed dinner and sleep time by 2-3 hours,
✅Increased sleep duration from 5 to 7+ hours,
✅Started waking up at 5 AM instead of 7 AM,
✅Stopped soft drinks, sweets & reduced carbs,
✅Preferred outdoor running in mornings,
✅Started strength training (since Dec 2022).
Running milestones
1⃣Consistent running- showed up almost daily,
2⃣Ran > 14,000 Km in three years,
3⃣807 runs of 10 k or more (Best 10k timing: 43 min),
4⃣132 runs of 21.1 km or more (Best HM: 1 hr 53 min),
5⃣Finished Ladakh half marathon in 2 hr 24 min,
6⃣Ran 32 runs of 21.1 km or more in 32 consecutive days (30th Sep to 31st Oct 2021),
7⃣All timed HM in 2023 (total 6) were sub-2 hours.
What did I gain by running over the past three years?
✅Weight loss of about 28 Kg,
✅ Significant reduction in abdominal obesity,
✅Resting heart rate⬇️to 45 bpm (from 72 bpm),
✅HDL⬆️, LDL⬇️ , TG⬇️, Cholesterol⬇️,
✅Average HR during running ⬇️ to 125 bpm,
✅VO2 max ⬆️ from 35 to 51,
✅Self-confidence and energy levels ⬆️
My message to those who are new to running or want to take up running:
1. Running is a healthy habit,
2. One can start running at any age,
3. Consistency and discipline are sure-shot recipes to success.
(Disclaimer: I have shared my personal journey here. Individual persons should consult their physician, nutritionist and fitness trainers before taking up running and/or modifying their diets).
Time has become chicanery, of late .. soaring one moment .searching, the next. The edges seem blurred. Like water, it shape shifts to the ebb and flow of my courage.

Trying very hard to see it walk forward. Failing miserably.
In this clip, if u see the horse walking forward, u are a LEFT BRAIN person (analytical, logical), but if u see the horse walking backwards, u are a RIGHT brain person (creative, intuitive). Are u left or right brain?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While it's true that some brain functions occur in one or the other side of the brain, with language tending to be on the left, attention on the right, It is a debunked myth that people have a stronger left-or right-sided network or hemisphere linked to personality

What a beautiful anecdote. Far away, in India .. I remember how that bald head impacted a young girl .. me. I had never seen such choice. In some part of my brain, it still shines like a beacon. Travel with as much choice #SineadOConner .. and peace.
Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up

I spent my 20-30s wearing salwar kameez’s of the same colour .. what is the fuss about co-ords?
For God’s sake .. keep pace, people.

1/2 Every time I see a #ManojBajpayee master performance, its as if a vaccum sucks all consciousness out of me. I sit huddled with his craft, every small bit he gave to it. These characters he belongs to. The journeys he takes, to get them to us. @BajpayeeManoj
Adbhut !
2/2 The sense of closure is so sharp because he has delivered them to us in full totality. From a Bhiku to a Solanki, they are all ours.
The sheer will of Manoj Bajpayee. Jaadugar! @BajpayeeManoj #ManojBajpayee #BandaaOnZEE5
Can’t wait to see #JubileeOnPrime .. and @sidhangupta497 .. hearing he is such a find.
As of now @sidhangupta497 has 24 followers on Twitter. Wait another week and see his fans explode. #VikramMotwane has found a real star for Bollywood in #JayKhanna/ #SidhantGupta. I can't remember the last time an actor had such a star-like presence in a show. #Jubilee

Never did understand this kind of adventure but wooow
There's a place in Sequoia National Park called Morrow Rock where there are warnings all over the place about lightning dangers because several people have been struck. The day I was there, it was intermittently snowing, so I didn't think much of the lightning signs.
At the top, while taking photos, I looked over at my friend's hair, standing straight up. At the same time, i heard a random dude saying he felt a buzzing in his chest. Then the metal railing i was holding on to for a photo started buzzing my hand, and that's when it clicked, and i yelled, "runnnnnnn!" This all happened within seconds.
Even being a meteorology connoisseur my entire life, I failed to put together that at 6700ft elevation, of course, it could be snowing inside of the thunderstorm. This is the shot that I quickly shot while scurrying back down. As we were driving away, we heard a loud clap of thunder, and I knew we were lucky.

Uff uff and uff .. now, going back to my watery soup.
I arrived in Delhi on 14 February 2022. In little over a year, I have visited 120+ food shops / stalls and sampled approx. 200 different dishes that this city has to offer
