Mid-life Rishikesh!

33|M|Delhi

Some quick background about myself - In that phase of life where I am busy with work, family, health and errands during routine days and so are most of my existing friends from school and college. Instead of investing time and energy in convincing friends to plan a trip, I’ve decided to take a week off and drive to Rishikesh all by myself.

Will be in Rishikesh during June 16-19, most probably staying at a hostel around Laxman Jhula.

Open to meeting new people, grabbing a coffee or a beer and not being judgemental at all. If you too plan on being in Rishikesh around the same time or are a local, happy to catch-up. Open to acquainting with people from both genders. Just to clarify - Married, and not seeking casual dating through this post.

Bonus points if you’re into fitness and would like to socialise over a run or indoor/outdoor physical workouts. If you’re a local, maybe you could recommend me some good fitness events, running clubs or just running roads/trails in/around Rishikesh?

Cheers!

Fitness Retreat Suggestions?

Male | 33

So I’ve taken a week off from work in June (13th-21st) and I really wish to spend my time attending a fitness camp somewhere in the Himalayas. My ideal expectation would be a mix of cardio (hiking/running), strength and yoga (optional). Wouldn’t mind cold plunges under waterfalls too!

Have been scouting for coaches/organisations that offer such a retreat on Instagram but haven’t found anything yet. A couple of options that I found were outside of my preferred dates.

I have two questions for this group:

  1. Does anyone here know of any such fitness-focussed retreats/camps in Himachal/Uttarakhand? No pure Yoga retreats, please.

  2. If there’s anyone who is on the lookout for a similar vacation, maybe we could team up and do our own thing? I don’t think I’ll have the skills, motivation and discipline to pull it off (especially the itinerary and logistics parts) on my own.

Thank you!!!

Police Verification for Passport

My passport is due for renewal and the file has reached Kotwali Police Station, NIT-1 for physical police verification.

I went in today to submit my documents and the policeman who was dealing with me said that next steps include them scanning my history to check for any criminal record and also physically visiting my home. He said it could take anywhere between 10 days and 60 days and how much time they will take is at their sole discretion. I get this feeling that he was trying to hint towards me paying him some cash so that he wraps it up in closer to 10 days than 60. I for a fact know that the police have to submit their report back to the passport authority in 21 days (3 weeks) but did not bring it up because he would have been pissed off. I honestly do not have the energy to make round trips to the passport office in Gurgaon if the police plant some documentary hurdles.

Has anyone here been police verified by Kotwali, NIT-1? Did you have to bribe the policeman? If not, how much time did it take for you?

Posting once more in the hope that this will reach like-minded people who can be company for runs and outdoor workouts in NIT, Faridabad!

I really don’t wish to quit this summer!!!

u/Beginning-Eye-5526 — 1 month ago

I run about 2-3 days a week, mostly start at around 9 a.m. due to how my personal and professional calendars are laid out. I run on the synthetic track in Rose Garden, NIT.

The heat has been killing me lately. Used to manage 10K during the winters but barely finish 5K now. I don’t really chase timing but am more focussed on showing up consistently and running at my conversational pace.

I get this feeling that this heat might just get the better of me and I might just end up quitting/being less consistent and hence, looking for fellow runners who wish to run along and help me hang in there!
