Spotlight on India's human rights record

Day Two of my new fitness regime. Yesterday I went for my second run in a week. The first one was a killer. For five days afterwards my whole body felt as though it had seized up! How I'm going to get from this to cycling for 8 hour stretches I'm not entirely sure, but I've got a little while to muse on that on...So today I'm planning to go for a swim, in the (probably) vain hope that cross training will make the transition from couch potato to triathlon-fit easy!

As part of my preparations for cycling India in 2012 and raising funds for Amnesty International I am using this blog to focus on the good work it does in all different areas of the world. Where better to start than India itself?

And here's is a link here for an interview on Al Jazeera's Fault Lines with one of my favourite Indian writers and fantasy dinner party guests, Arundhati Roy, an incredibly wise lady, social commentator and unintentional campaigner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnTS9gHCZoI
