Sometimes all you need is somebody to run with…

Still under the weather. Thought will go for a run and try to shake it off. Instead, within a few miles, the run started to shake me up. After some time the cramps were getting a little too painful to enjoy the run. Turned around and headed back to the starting point.

Just as I started the fourth mile, ran into Indrani. Turned around once again and joined her in her 5 mile run. Running with somebody else was distracting enough that I forgot about the pains. By the time we finished, I had completed six miles already.

And then went back to the trail by myself one last time to put in four more miles to make it a full ten miles.

It would be interesting to see how the body retaliates now 🙂

Friday evening decompression…

“Tu wo zaalim hai jo
Dil mein reh kar bhi
Mera na ban Saka

Aur Dil wo kafir jo
Mukh mein reh kar bhi
Tera hogaya…”

Roughly translated…

“You are such an oppressor that
In spite of living in my heart
You never become mine.

And my heart – it is so disloyal that
In spite of living within me
It shamelessly became yours!”

From the bartender’s corner – South Side cocktail

Slightly under the weather and a little too tired with all the travel and a little spike in office activities. Sitting at home by myself, was wondering what cocktail to try. Wanted something with lime juice and sugar in it to keep energy up. Decided to try a South Side which is basically those two with gin and mint. Used the Fifty Pounds Gin. While I made it in a cocktail glass, there are other variations of this where you pour it over ice and top it off with club soda. Nice, refreshing drink. Even better suited during the daytime.
