Walking Partners - Ramesh Uncle

  Hi, N here, yes again ….. Its raining today, so no walking. I know I know you think I must be celebrating. That small joy of pretending “ Oh! Its raining ” while actually being happy to take an off day. But surprisingly its quite the opposite. Am rather bummed that its raining. The time I take for walking is purely my own personal space. I don’t think about anything else other than enjoying those minutes with myself. But more than me, I think Ramesh uncle will be more sad today. I won’t be surprised if he would still go for walking atleast for few minutes in this drizzle. Oh! Don’t look so confused. I will introduce you to Ramesh uncle. Most days when I walk I encounter Ramesh Uncle, we have never talked or communicated with each other in any way. Then how do I know his name? You ask!!! Well, who said I know him personally or know his real name, I have named him Ramesh Uncle because I kinda think that name suits him so well. He is an average height, average late fiftie

Walking Partners - Couples

Anyhoo… I love to see couple walkers, they seem like they have their life put together. And you can definitely make out the different levels of marriage or relationships they are in by the way they walk. Oh! before I continue, let me be honest – “Me” that is - yours truly N and my loved one C are couple walkers. But you will never know that because we walk in opposite directions. Its true, when we started walking we were like any other couple, you know walking together, pointing out cute th

Ok, let me start with this question.  Have you ever gone on a walk?   For pleasure, exercise, family outing etc etc….. for anything for that matter.   I always thought I hated walking. Like who will purposefully get up in the morning, put on the walking clothes (if you are of that category of having different set of attire for walking) and shoes, go to the nearest lake or park with the walkway and walk …. Like just walk!!!  But sorry to burst your bubble my dear, I came to know that I love walking. And please don’t make a mistake that I love walking because it is so good for my health. No!... absolutely not, please don’t categorize me like that. I like walking because it is entertaining.   Yes, it is. And you cant change my mind about it. I am going to die on that hill of belief.   We walkers (Yes, I can term myself as a “walker” even though am a novice in it) have our own world, our own set of rules – unsaid of course, our own people and companions. And wow!! What a different, magica
