India, Nov. 20 -- Sir,

I arrived as a tourist in your magnificent city two days ago. I love running in a new city, so yesterday morning I tied my running shoes and headed directly from the hotel towards Kukkarahalli Lake. Two kilometres of slightly chaotic running navigation through the busy morning traffic, before I arrived at the Lake.

When you come from a small right-lane-trafficked Denmark, it takes a bit of courage and a lot of stupidity to battle the motorcycles, tuk-tuks (autos), stray dogs and cows on the Mysuru streets. But what a delight to arrive at the Lake and run 4-km together with hundreds of walking and running citizens of Mysuru.

Later the same day, I wanted to walk the shores of this wonderful city Lake with my wife. ...
