The temperature in
And luckily for me…..i ran this morning.
My friend pushed me out of my lethargy….and onto the street at 6 am… it was an experience…..
The chilly breeze,,,,,the pre dawn darkness……..it was like running at a hill station in winter in the early morn.
There was as slight drizzle when we began running from home, but by the time we reached chowpatty it had cleared up…and it was just a gentle cold breeze. I have had an exceptionally bad year running wise….been lazy-not driven-feel bloated and FAT…so all in all…….running this year has been a challenge.

As we took a moment to absorb the scene…to feel it in our bones---the lights on the queen’s necklace went off….and then the entire picture changed-magically, it was the soft light of dawn…with the tender breeze…the waves of the sea lapping gently onto the slumbering giant tetrapods. The rain had cleared the air-so the entire vista was clean and crisp….from nariman point to the edge of the world at banganga…it was one beautiful moment.
The run back, too was exhilarating as we realized that this was probably one of the best runs of our lives…and it was all perfect…the weather ….the people….the run….
November rain-guess that’s what we all will call it now……..
The sense of the storm in the song…it was replicated in the city today when the authorities decided to be safe rather than sorry….
What is the feeling of panic that we feel in a new situation…….post the 26-7 floods? Can we not be ok about an unseasonal shower? We could attribute it to global warming-low pressure-snow in the

It was lovely grey weather we had been having. Wish I could have gotten out and seen the gorgeousness. Anyway...I was glad for it too...if only for causing lesser people to show up in the casualty due to the rains :)
