Suggesting songs for OST of Living Twice by @subrothob if it's made into a movie.

Maybe a duet will sit perfectly.

Zaid:
I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror

Naina:
I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?

The positive side of being surrounded by positive people ❤️

The community has grown and so has the energy. What makes it special is being surrounded by like-minded people who genuinely want to see each other grow — not pull each other down.

Like-minded people who push each other to grow, encourage each other, celebrate every PB, support each other through the tough miles, and genuinely want to see everyone become better.

We run together.
We train together.
We suffer together. 😂
We celebrate together.
We pick each other up when the legs and mind say, “Enough!”

There’s no pulling down, no unnecessary negativity — just support, encouragement, healthy competition and good vibes🏃‍♂️🔥

Someone gets faster, you chase them.
Someone gets a PB, you celebrate it.
Someone struggles, you stand beside them.
Because when one person grows, the whole family grows.

That’s the best part of being part of a good community.

It’s not just about running. It’s about the people you meet and the bonds you build ❤️🏃‍♂️

This Sunday 27 Sep 2026, I ran Half Marathon distance as part of Wipro Bengaluru Marathon.
I could execute my race plan. I felt like things fell in place.

Importantly, I went back to enjoy the race - posing for the camera mid-run, breaking into a jig to the beats of the percussion groups en route, cheering for runners.

The running community is just awesome - Cheers from the sides on race day, Train together, Share stories and tips. Something to learn and improve all the time.

Make a plan. Trust the process.
Turn up prepared.
That's the best one can do for a Race day. taken in Kanteerva Stadium, Bangalore by @bal_brahm

Watching Mara Coffee & Roasters close its doors hits a raw nerve. I’ve been through my own share of things shutting down in the past, and I know how heavy it feels. But no matter what ends….a business, a relationship, a chapter…there is always a new beginning waiting if you just hold on. Life always opens new doors.
This week is all about celebrating Mara and the incredible times we spent here. The coffee, the jokes, the warm memories, and this entire community coming together to sing, laugh, and celebrate one last time.
Shoutout to Ayaan…the face of Mara, the hottest barista, and the most beautifully crazy human. Brother, I’m praying so hard for your next move. I already know your comeback is going to be legendary, and I can’t wait to celebrate it with you.
All the love and best wishes for what’s next! taken in Bangalore, India by @bal_brahm

I can love Trail Running. ❤️⛰️

Every turn gives me something: a challenge, a view, a little lesson… and sometimes a completely unnecessary but extremely satisfying sprint down a rocky slope. 😂

If you had told me back in 2023 in Mumbai that we’d both end up here, I probably would’ve laughed... and then told you to keep dreaming!

Reetu went from being my most obedient client to my friend, to someone who survived my terrible goodbye skills when I made my exit without a proper heads-up. 😅 Time healed the drama, but the universe clearly had a funny way of keeping us connected.

I spent well over a year bugging her to get her butt into a real functional / CrossFit space, and look at her now. Today, I got to witness absolute magic: Reetu knocking out her first-ever 100 wall balls alongside Balan, getting fully prepped for her HYROX journey here at HYFIT!

From Mumbai days to watching her crush 100 wall balls without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little sweat), what a legendary full-circle moment to witness as her coach, friend, and official head-cheerleader.

Trust the timing of your life, people. @reetujain18 , you absolute rockstar... this is just the warmup!

A massive shoutout to @bal_brahm ….at 55 years young, he paced her, kept the standard high, and brought absolute pure gold energy to that set. Legend! taken in Hyfit Fitness Club by @bal_brahm

Easy runs aren't about the body giving up. It's the mind that wants to quit first. That's where the real race happens.
Shoutout to @hybrid_miles_club, they don't let me take the mental shortcut.

Hybrid Miles Club – GYM Crawl 💪🏃‍♂️

After Saturday’s 24KM long run, I was honestly wondering if I’d be able to make it to the HMC Gym Crawl. Then came a simple message from the Elite Balan @bal_brahm : “Coming tomorrow?” 😄

I immediately called the G.O.A.T @_its_ramesh_m and said, “I’m in!”

A 28KM drive one way from Hennur to HSR… and it was worth every single kilometre. In one line “What an amazing Sunday morning!”

Great workouts, incredible energy and even great company. Visiting multiple gyms, meeting so many amazing people and celebrating the Hybrid Miles Club community was an experience in itself. From LIFTR @liftr.fit to Hyfit @hyfit.fitnessclub to Kaizen @kaizen.klub_ and wrapping it all up with an amazing healthy breakfast bowl at The Lean Kafe @theleankafe.official —everything was perfect.

I think I should drive from Hennur to HSR every weekend just to meet the amazing HMC folks. The energy was simply incredible… just wow! 🔥💪

Already looking forward to the next HMC event. Here’s to getting stronger together! 🔥🏃‍♂️💪
