Five of us. 40 years. A school friendship. An instant, electric friendship full of food, sport, movies, summer holidays, heated argument and laughter. Everything taken for granted, nothing left unshared. It’s still the same. Except now there are four. No one prepared us for loss. Now we know. So here’s to the fifth who is even more fiercely in our hearts than when he was when he was in our midst. #HappyFriendshipDay May you be as blessed as I have been.

First attempt at a (proper) headstand after 38 years- earlier did it the gymnast’s way during school gymnastics. Been learning yoga for the last four weeks and my teacher (my amazing sister, Anu Bose) thought I could try this today. I know it is nowhere near perfect, but in these topsy turvy times, it’s good to look at things the wrong way up. Thank you, Didi. (NOTE : THIS IS NOT MY HOUSE!) #sisterpower #halfmyheart #putyourheaddownandgetworking
To my greatest friend and fighter in the world. As kids how much you tortured me but when I was in a corner how much you fiercely fought for me. I love you, Didi. Except when you are teaching me yoga. #rakshabandhan #sistersruleok #sistersandbrothers #thestrongestbond
This is such a wonderful, timely initiative. Five designers have created masks to sell – the profits of which will, through @give_india , be channelled to seven NGOs across the country that directly fund the livelihoods of karigars and craftspersons. So please buy one or many and get #BehindTheMask for a cause @gqindia @vogueindia. Shop masks inspired by the designs of @taruntahiliani @manishmalhotraworld @anitadongre @rahulmishra_7 and @gauravguptaofficial on Myntra (@myntra). All profits will be donated to GiveIndia (@give_india).
Went into the studio to record something I had never done before. Wore my running gear for the long run back into town after the session. In case you were wondering 😬 #whatidobeforeirun
You couldn’t paint this better. Post sunset right now. #theskyisthelimit
This is not a paid post : A line of wristwatches launched by friends of mine. If you like wrist art combined with international engineering excellence, have a look. And it’s all #MadeInIndia @horpawatch www.horpawatch.com
On the last day of my year (a new year starts for me tomorrow). A 12k run that started in dry, hot weather, segued into driving rain and then finished in hot, dry weather again. 🙄 The Bombay monsoon. Go figure. #birthdaytomorrow #goodbye52
Enjoyed this chat with Mitrajit. @outlookindia
Respite from the rains and it’s good to be back doing runs / sprints on the ground again. But even better to have a friend with me. Those who have seen my posts from a year ago might remember Badshah the dog who used to keep me company on my workouts (without ever wanting to move a muscle). Badshah passed away last year but I now have a new (and potentially friskier) workout companion. She hasn’t been named yet. Begum? You think? #theroyals #queenisamansbestfriend #blueskygreengrasswhiteclouds
What a pleasant way to end a Monday evening! Thank you @filmfare . My best wishes to the other five nominees. Must watch their work! #Bulbbul @kans26 @anushkasharma @anvita_dee
After running in driving rain for the last few weeks, a dry, mid afternoon 22k run to #landsend #marinedrive and back. Shook off all the rain in my head. 💪🏾 #monsoonvictories

The @discoverychannelin 25th anniversary campaign took me down memory lane. I remember shows like, How The Universe Works, Man Vs Wild etc. The #KeepExploring campaign is quite fitting – it urges people to go beyond the limits of human imagination! It’s been my pleasure to do the voiceover for this campaign. 💪🏾
Crows. Feet. One day even I will get them. #theinexorableprocessofaging
