with my nose held high ...


I held the lift for him, and he stumbled in, slick with sweat and short of breath.

A jogger, yes. But not too committed - it was easy to see; the generic t-shirt(no sweat-wicking); the full length trousers .. (who wears trousers when exercising in the Indian summers ?) .. and then as my eyes traveled down, I saw it.
Canvas sneakers !
Blasphemy.
I couldn't help but smirk, thinking about my top-of-the-line Asics Kayanos, the kind of shoes that you should be using when you mean business.

The same Asics that have not been taken on a run for more than a year.

leke prabhu ka naam,

... because that's how the antaxari used to start, and I hope this new stint here continues for some time.

... because how else could you start the day - if you lived at a place like this, lorded over by the Kanchenjungha ?



No wonder, in all our tales, the Gods resided in the Himalayas.
