Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

A dancing summer evening

He twirled and twisted and writhed and leaped and danced as if magic.

I took the day off but watching Aakash Odedra rehearse – thanks to my friend Aditi – at least I watched a profoundly athletic and aesthetic hour of dance.

The ghazal and qawwali music was transporting, his feet with a mind of their own, his body of coiled springs, a small rehearsal space became creative enchantment, this corner of Gol Market.
