The books on running… I’ve read so far

chimps — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:36:40 +0000

Here are some of the books on running I’ve read.

1) Born to Run by Christopher McDougall – The best book ever written about running. Period.

2) Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald – I lost almost 10 kilo’s just by reading the book (pun intended). If you’re serious about your diet and want to train/eat like a pro.. then this book is the one!

3) A Race Like No Other – Running the New York City Marathon? then this is the must read. Liz Robbins runs 26.2 miles through the streets of New York without hitting the wall. If you don’t plan on running the New York City Marathon than this book will make you run one.

4) Runners Rule Book – A good humorous read. Mark Remy makes you laugh.. on the run!

5) Survival of the Fittest Mike Stroud gives an in depth understanding of why and how our body perform in given conditions. More facination are his explorations to Antartica and running marathons around the world and gruelling cross-country endurance races.

6) The Runners Field Manual by Mark Remy - Not as fun as Runners Rule Book

Reading next Once A Runner and My Life on the Run

Tim Hortons in London…. it Sucks!

chimps — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:58:14 +0000

My cousin in Canada tipped me about Tim Hortons in London. Apparently I am addicted to Timmy’s (French Vanilla ..anyone??)

It’s in Piccadilly Circus – SPAR, Haymarket. Tim Hortons made a deal with the SPAR convenience store chain in the UK and Ireland, resulting in Tim Hortons coffee and doughnuts being sold at small self service counters in 50 SPAR stores as of April 30, 2007. (Wikipedia)

It’s just a small vending machine and the coffee is no where..close to what you get in Canada. Infact it Sucks…Oh and no timbits! :-(

Sound, Camera, Action!

So couple of weeks back I did a Two-Day Intensive Filmmaking (weekend course) at Met Film School. From the world of web to the world of filmmaking. A great learning experience.

Here’s a scene I directed & edited on day 2. It’s adapted from Erin Brockovich, though I changed the script a bit. You can see the original scene in this trailer. It took me over 2 hours just to direct this 3 min scene and another couple of hours to edit (using Final Cut Pro)!

Not bad for a first timer, eh?

The day I Sky Dive’d

chimps — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:19:41 +0000

Couple of months back I Skydive’d from North London Parachute Centre (NLPC).. its nowhere near London. It’s in Cambridge. My first ever.. as you could figure out from the video.

We did from 13,000, Ft. As you can see from the video… a bit scared but wanna do it again.. someday. Free Fall is where all the fun is!

Here’s the video.

UK to Beijing by Bicycle….Anyone?

If you run Adwords / PPC Campaigns then you probably keep an eye on the text ads you see during your web journey.

Here’s the one I found when I was doing research before I bought my cycle. (Btw I bought Ridgeback Cyclone which is a beauty!)

The adtext is so compelling I had to click. I m sure they must have an amazing CTR but not many conversions!

I saw the ad in Gmail where I had saved some info about some cycles.
