30*30 done, what next?

And the journey goes on… We had an exciting 30 days of fitness this November, as part of the 30*30 initiative. We managed to find as much time as we could to focus on our health and well-being – at least to make a start! Here is what I shared with the team today:) Thank …

Of bits, bytes and clicks…

Ok so my router died today. One can survive without food and water nowadays, but without the internet?? You got to be kidding me. And so when a crisis of such magnitude hits, one has to press the panic button. A few frantic calls to Du confirmed my initial suspicions that the router had served …

Of Babils and Shanayas…

Qala was a good movie, but only for the performances of the lead pair – Tripti Dimri and Babil Khan. The direction was a bit Sanjay Leela Bhansali type – over indulgent, pretentious and quite laborious. Tripti and Babil however, made the effort worth a watch.

Of words and tongues…

He is nearly two and yet the only comprehensible words that come out of his mouth are Tethe and saaaa. And yes, a hit of the epiglottal “grrrr” as well, serving as a possible prelude to Go (of the ready steady series). Some speak faster, some take their time. I don’t quite concern myself yet, …

Of meds and mitochondria…

I read somewhere that we have the best healthcare accessible to us – best that we as a species have ever had. But we also are the most vulnerable – given the reduced immunity and dependence on the very medicines that have increased our life spans. The rich bio-diversity has also shrunk constantly, to a …
