Random musings

In the last one month I have had some significant successes in my weight loss efforts. This includes a 5 Kg reduction in a 1 week period. Following my updates on Facebook I had quite a few requests asking for details. And so in response to all that here’s some details that may be of interest to those who are wide like me :( In one of my previous posts  Tond Reduction Contd . . .   I had summarized my efforts. The special emphasis on  Contd . . .  was due the WIP nature of the results I achieved :( So be forewarned that what I am going to write hasn’t quite been entirely effective on myself, but when did that ever stop me from giving gyan :D Despite the lack of visible results it’s my opinion that it wasn’t due to the lack of effort. In fact in 2010 ( Details of what I did ) I put in more than 140 hours of Cardio and YTD 2011 I have clocked in more than 110 hours of Cardio. Despite this number (Huge in my opinion) my weight loss wasn’t very significant...

Despite all my intentions I don’t think I haven’t written as much as I would have loved to. Guess my thoughts don’t flow as freely as they used to. Or perhaps my verbal abilities have overtaken my skills with the keyboard :D The one thing that I want to sit down and think about is the increasing importance I have been giving to fitness in my life. I have always been a fitness retard. In fact during school days I couldn’t run for more than 100 meters without huffing and puffing. And now that I think of it I was larger than the kids of my age and if anything I felt pride looking at the size of my thunderous thighs ;) Life was good and easy and then slowly things changed and I widened up L Then one fine day my mother’s love for me made me take notice. Over time I have made a few attempts at tond reduction with varying amounts of success (a euphemism). Somehow guys in campus developed this craze for running and there was Hutchy who within a very short period started lost ...

Three Cheers to Anju & Parag. For the first time this year I met my monthly target. I did 12:41:31 hrs of physical activity in March :))

Dec 8, My mass reduction initiative is in full swing. As a result of all that exercises i have gained a few kilos and a couple of inches sideways. It so happened that while back in bangalore i worked hard with my cycle. But then after each round of exercises i couldnt resist the call of my mess. To make matters worse i invariably end up taking some rest which usually extends up to a few days. Anyways i have told myself in very clear terms that enough is enough and i better get back in shape. So as soon as i reach back bangalore i would be getting back to my exercising ways. Will keep you guys updated about any progress i make :) For all those who dont know by now i have landed up a job with my summer company. For the next few years i would definitely have to work in the corporate sector and repay my loan and all. But i am seriously asking myself whether continuing in the typical corp job would be the right thing to do. While dabbling with things here and there and after meeting a few g...

Oct 5, That was a long time ago when I wrote all those things. The situation has changed little and the term regular still needs to used with great discretion. But jus for the sake of completion lemme do the honours and tell you abt wht happened on that fateful day in July. It so happened tht this METRO store is in the outskirts of the town. We took an auto and reached the place and as intended bought a cycle. But what was unintended was the fact that the cycle refused to get inside the auto. So poor me was left with no option but to cycle all the way back. But then when something goes wrong the hindi saying, “Jab deta hai to chappad phad ke deta hai” becomes so true. So as if cycling all the way to the campus was not enough I ended up with a flat tire even before I started the journey. And to add to it I happened to be in a city that sleeps early. So all the guys running a cycle repair shop on way just about closed their shops before I could avail of their services. Poor me so had to ...

July 3, I always knew that i was a bit gifted in mass terms. But the enormity stuck me when i went to delhi. My mother looked at me and said you have gained a lot of weight. This comment came from a person who usually used to insist that "Beta tume kuch kha nahi rahe ho". She told me this when i met her in the first week of apr. Had things been normal i would have forgotten everything about it and resumed on my mass enhancing activities. But then my mother intervened again and she sent me a very sweet letter. She said, "Son you should consider going to the gym". Guess i took the comment a bit to my heart and i started a regime of regular exercises. Now some of you may raise some doubts about the term "Regular". If you have any such doubts then i insist on using my discretion on the semantics and the use of the term. Since most of you wont be interested in the mundane technical details i would go ahead and describe how the matter of downsizing is given ever...
