This years Connexion meet was to kick off with a 5k run, needless to say, many of us (spouses) decided to go walking early mornings to get aquatinted with the track. The campus is so calm and peaceful at 6 in the morning that its nothing less than therapeutic. The nicely thought-out route took us through the canopy of trees in the staff quarters to the beautiful architectural buildings of the old campus. Many a times the chirping of birds was the only sound we could here. Our walks turned into a amateur bird watching sessions, with so many different types of birds there, it was truly a visionary as well as auditory delight. I guess the joy of running becomes many-fold in such an environment. The connexion event even before it started helped us “connect” with nature.
