The Bhag Club in Delhi turns one inspiring people to run for fun
Last Sunday, a large group of college students and young adults gathered at Chanakyapuri in Delhi and voluntarily put on their running shoes to run the perimeter of Nehru Park and test their stamina and energy levels. It was neither a competitive race nor was there any pressure on them. People joined for fun, to up their fitness levels or to meet and build a community of like-minded individuals who like to run. Leading them were two college friends, Krishbir Singh and Jyotiraditya Thakur, who founded The Bhag Club (TBC) in June 2024with an objective to promote an athletic mindset among the people of Delhi NCR. 'Post pandemic we noticed how peoples' social lives were negatively affected,' says Jyotiraditya. Krishbir adds there has been a lack of both healthy habits and a sense of athleticism among the majority. Both of them felt community running would help to break the mental and social barriers. They wanted people to run for pleasure and whenever they feel like. 'Running needs only motivation and a pair of good shoes unlike other sports that require investment,' says Jyotiraditya. The idea was good but to get things going was not easy. A lot depended on how they marketed the concept. 'We had to think of a strategy that would appeal to the young and make them feel it is good and cool to run,' Krishbir says. Juhi Majumdar, a UPSC aspirant, was a first-time participant at the Sunday run. 'I am into fitness, I play volleyball and lift weights but never took to running,' she says. 'It was a good experience and I made new friends too,' she adds. Software engineer Ekansh Batra, who develops mobile games, says running with the TBC has helped him inculcate a fitness regime. 'I have a desk job and joined the run for the first time in January this year; ever since I have been a regular,' he says. Ekansh says he lost 16 kilograms in the last six months and is now able to do HYROX, an indoor fitness competition that combines running with functional workouts. 'Running with The Bhag Club has increased my confidence, stamina and skills in other sports such as football,' he says. Vidushi Kaushik, a recent graduate of OP Jindal Global University, joined the TBC five months ago. 'I started off slow, but I recently completed a 10 kilometre-run at my own pace. It pushes me to do better; that is why I keep returning,' she says. It was Trusha's third run with the TBC and the Plaksha University student says she enjoys pushing herself. 'In the coming months, we want to focus on more beginner-friendly programmes, be it 10K accelerator or Run your First 5K,' says Jyotiraditya. We want to scale up and get as many people active as possible, adds Krishbir.

New party name? Sorry, Jezza, ‘Hamas' is already taken
Jeremy Corbyn has invited suggestions for what to call his new party, after discovering that ' Hamas ' is already taken. The tortuous process of finding a name for the TBC movement is the most socialist comedy since Marx rang Engels to say he'd found an ingenious way of never having to work again. Around midday, Jezza posted a statement announcing ' a new kind of political party – one that belongs to you', with a link to ' Zarah Sultana, his partner in crime, then tweeted 'It's not called Your Party!' That's a placeholder. No name yet for a party that 'we're building... together' (like kids with Lego). Up pops Corbyn on TV. Black shirt. Bifocals. Shouting over the traffic. I WELCOME submissions, he said with an air of annoyance; he's been getting emails at '500 a minute'. The poor man's of a generation that can't distinguish junk mail, and feel they must reply to every single message with 'Thank you but, no, I have not been in an accident that wasn't my fault'. The name must be 'short and inclusive', he ordered, not long and reactionary like 'Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson'. But how will we be selecting this punchy moniker, comrade? This is a democratic socialist party. One can't just pull it out of a hat! Well, the website invites visitors to submit their name and address – now it's your turn to get 500 emails a minute – to take part in an 'inaugural conference' at which 'you will decide the party's decision, the model of leadership and the policies'. Presumably there will be a vote on the voting method? A chorus of committees. A profusion of politburos. 'Sandwich fillings will be decided by a show of hands.' Recall that Corbyn seemed irritated when Sultana announced the party a few weeks ago – bypassing the usual consultation period – and Sultana was apparently miles away when he tweeted the statement. There's only two of them and they still can't get a quorum. A split looms already. A brutal civil war between Fruit and Nut. When will the conference happen? Dunno. But there has to be a convention to agree on the date, hence the project is born in a loop of Marxist logic. Can only vote on a name at a conference; can only hold a conference after a vote. Yet the agenda, spelt out on the website, appears pre-written: tax the billionaires, nationalise industries, save the planet. Corbyn's manifesto is Labour's in 2024, except Jezza will actually do it – plus a paragraph on campaigning for 'a free and independent Palestine'. Once Corbyn was done dividing the Left and blaming the rich, he told the interviewer that his TBC party will be nothing like Reform. 'Reform only offers a message of division and blame. All they do is say that every social problem in our society is somehow or other the fault of extremely vulnerable minorities.' From what one hears at hard-Left demos, every problem in Britain is the fault of the Jews.
