Done! Posted on December 17, 2007December 17, 2007 A gruelling 26 kms, on a course that had a combination of several uphill / downhill combinations and took me exactly 4 hours to complete!

About tea and other things Posted on October 4, 2008October 4, 2008 Tea happens to be my favourite beverage. Over the years, I’ve disposed off the need for milk (and sugar in most cases) to get the real taste of tea. I read this yesterday while browsing through a book and liked it so much, I made a note of it: “Tea… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
