Memories of Catherine

One of the choices a narrator has while telling a story, is where to start. Honestly, thats one quandary I was really hoping to be spared of this time around; Unfortunately, despite the fact that this entire story happened in a little less than 20 minutes, I am not to be excused from that vital decision. Luckily for me I think I am sneaky enough to play around the rules this time around.

Anything I tell you about Catherine would probably be speculative.

A Quiet & Serene Road at Coonoor I walked this road twice, once in pitch darkness at around midnight and once the next day just around day break… When was it more beautiful? Honestly I cant say…

The Run…

Last Sunday I participated in my first 10K run, the Sunfeast World 10K run. The event was in itself pretty eventful but that didnt mean the my friends and I wouldnt add our version of seasoning and adventure in the mix.

I had been looking forward for the run for almost 2 months now and this is how the event unfolded…
