The words old and fat resonate with me. I had to ask my Uncle Google what parkour is and he referred me to Aunt Wiki. In Bangalore an ordinary walk from any place to any other is an obstacle course. Bangalore is the most pedestrian unfrendly place after the ocean. Parkour sounds like good exercise until you sustain your first major injury that sends you back to golf. shiv
