Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

This end of the island

One way to see a new place is to run through it. It always surprises me how in a few kilometres, the landscape and terrain and towns change.

One can see the mish-mash of a place come together, beautiful buildings and equally absurd architecture. What would these architects have been thinking.

At roughly the five kilometre mark, my sister and I turned around. It was continuously rolling. Not easy would be one way to describe it.

Coming back, one again notices things that were missed earlier. Of course – this can always be the case – no matter how familiar the surroundings. Just the other Sunday, I saw an embassy on Shanti Path that I hadn’t noticed before. I have all but forgotten the name again.
