Heartfelt and racy. I think I am 89% happy and maybe 29% jealous of your running habit. Also, I don’t know history so I cannot do addition properly.

No wonder this reads so free flowing. Running is too close to you

Lovely piece Rohan. Exploring a place in a slow pace through running or even cycling is a different experience altogether. Enjoyed reading this :)

Wow! Simply wow. Though on a lighter note if i had known running would have eased my path to become a CEO, I would have taken it seriously ;)

This maybe my favourite piece of yours. So much so that I felt compelled to read it aloud, slowly. As a runner who almost exclusively runs the familiar, you've compelled me to make amends. Superb stuff, Rohan, and thank you for this.

Enjoyed this so much. I have felt a lot of this too while running, so was fully with the piece until the end. :)

"Running in a new city, or even a new part of one’s own city, can indeed be exhilarating." As I read this, I was struck with a thought- "Wait till he meets the Goan Dogs who treats these roads as their personal fief, snapping at ankles of the invading runner. And just after that - you mentioned the Goan Pups. :)

Wonderful piece. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Brilliant, brilliant! Describes the exact feeling of running alone for me!

Lovely piece. I could so connect to the intimacies about mumbai roads, the ones which stay with you as you run- that knowing every inch of the road spoke so much to me!
