That was not very enjoyable :-(

After almost a week off the roads, went for a 5 mile run. Not sure whether I am under the weather or it is this hot and humid weather, I lost steam after three miles 🙁 Had to take two breaks in the next two miles. Was not enjoyable. The right glute and hams has recovered a lot though…

Aaga Bismil

This is a gem by Aaga Bismil. The Ghulam Ali version of the rendition is outstanding..

“mehfil mein baar baar kisi par nazar gayee /
humne bachayee laakh magar / phir udhar gayee //

unki nazar mein koi to jaadu jaroor hai / 
jis par padi / 
usi ke jigar tak utar gayee // “

Fjords!

Every time I come to Europe, I am taken in by its beauty. Today – a rare sunny day in London – was no exception. And every time I come to London, I am reminded of the English lad – Adrian Mole’s description of the beauty of another part of Europe – Norway. (the book was called “The growing pains of Adrian Mole, aged thirteen and a half” by Sue Townsend, I think).
