Gym Talk!!!

My sister and I have been working out in the gym for quite some time now.. and it has always been a place of entertainment for us.. you will see a varied crowd there..from wanna be’s to sophisticated to down right ghaaties… and mind u uh, these ghaaties are the ones who have the cash…well knowing that both of us have a busy schedule that’s the only place we actually get to talk…so we usually are catchin up wid each other as to how r day has gone etc etc…but how much ever we try we never end up talking about r day much in detail as there are such wonderful characters around that steal r attention… even though its just both of us we know how to have fun… as we cannot take names in the gym (coz then they will know that we are talking about them.. duh) we have kept code names..

When I sat down one day writing all the names they were easily over 50.. now they might have reached even 100..the names range from Major, Minor, Captain(the military squad) to Rapunzel, the Queen, the witch ( fairy tale section) ….we are so used to speaking in this code language that sometimes these names utter out even when we talking to r friends… (then u can see the question mark on their faces)..

There are a lot of advantages of working out in a gym like Abs… you get to see a lot of good looking guys and a lot of not so good lookin guys who think they are very good lookin…then we have the pretty chicks who look absolutely lost in the gym…its like apart from their manicured nails they cant think further..For eg: when I go to workout I just wear a t shirt and track pants…anythin that is comfortable and which absorbs sweat… but these girls have to look pretty in the gym too…so they will leave their long lustrous hair open while doin weight training hopin that some guy will fall in love with them, at least by lookin at their hair(coz they know no one is gonna fall in love with their intellect)…

We also have the psychic ones (ladies again) who will wear make up and come to the gym… and m not talking about lip gloss or lipstick.. I mean foundation and other accessories..i could never forget this lady who walked into the gym the other day with a pair of goggles… I am like “ have u ladies gone bonkers”..this is the gym man.. not ur social party group…

M telling u this is a total entertainment club…i have so many times walked in the gym in a foul or a sad mood… but these cartoons end up makin my day.. ha ha…but then of course there are the serious ones too who know why they come to the gym.. TO WORKOUT… and its good to talk to them..

Snip snip snip...

Have u ever experienced the thrill and excitement when ur gonna get a new hairdo.. well at least I feel it..its more for girls I guess.. coz we have so many options(as usual)… I have a hair cut appointment every 3 months… and I see to it that I get a different look every time I go… my last appointment was on Saturday… my goal this time is to grow my hair long… and m telling u it ain't an easy job… so I just cut my hair in layers and for the first time I decided to have bangs(or in the Indian version flicks).. well I do look different now.. some girls at my work place called me Barbie doll( which btw was not very funny).. but yes one advantage that this haircut gave me was that I looked younger(which woman would not want that)…but its nice I kinda like it… I know its difficult to get used to a new hairdo.. coz after u wash your hair and all the blow-dry effect has gone(from the hairdresser) all u have left is bushy hair.. well my hair being wavy does not look that great if I just leave it by itself… it looks like as if I have gone thru a tornado or sumthin… but apart form that I have always enjoyed the experience of getting a new hairstyle…the two days that u don’t wash ur hair and people get to see u in a different way…aah that feeling is good…I am grateful that no one as yet has given me a bad haircut… and u know wat it does make a difference when u get a bad haircut… I mean hair does take time to grow and u are gonna like that for quite some time u know… well like said m glad that I have had a pleasant experience at the hairdressers till now..

Childhood memories..

I really don’t like the times when u go completely blank and u have to write a post… was just thinking really hard and wondering, c’mon there has gotta be sumthin that I can write on…then the other day when I was talking to a student in college we suddenly went back to r childhood days.. and in no time we were laughin r hearts out.. then I thought why not write about this in my next post…

Well as kids both my sis and I were brats, in the eyes of our parents (more so my sis.. I was a little angel who never could hurt a fly..hee hee).. but I can never forget those days.. we really enjoyed r time…sumthin that u will notice about my sister and I is that we can laugh anywhere at any point of time.. obviously we have got into trouble for it too..

One occasion that comes to my mind now is or bed time.Somewhere as growing kids we never liked r deadline being 8:30pm.. there we would be both of us in r beds in the dark..even though we cant see each others faces we are giggling away to glory..for us it was giggles but in the quietness of the night it was as good as a laugh and then I remember my dad comin into r room and yellin at us sayin “Malaglike agudilla wa”( cant u guys go to sleep). We would have a straight face at that point of time..but as kids we were shameless.. so the moment he left we would be giggling again…

Well the giggles have mellowed down the years but r tradition to talk till late nights havn’t.. coz that’s the only time we get to chat as both of us are workin full time now… but I miss those days..where I did not have to worry about anything as to how m gonna get thru this month with all the expenses that I have, wat about my career, blah blah blah.. well I guess those are the privileges of being a kid…

Got Ripped Off!!!

My day was goin fine yesterday..nothin seemed very interesting but not so boring as well..was just happy to finish work n was on my way to my favourite coffee shop i.e Coffee Jar in Wanowrie. Well i took a rickshaw from wanowrie to the coffee shop, stopped there for about 2 mins and then directed the driver to go to MG Rd..can u guess how much the fare came up to??? 70 bucks...i was sooo annoyed...i told him and explained too that is is way too much.. that i have travelled a lot more of a distance and the fare has never come so high... he just was not ready to listen..i shud have just givin him 50bucks n walked off..but at that point i felt so cheated i did not even know wat to do..well right now m tryin to find out online where i can put a complaint against these rickshaw drivers who tweek their meters and over charge the customers.. will see to it that they pay a price for it... m still sooo angry about the whole thing...coz u know u slog so hard and earn every penny..and then there are these jerks around who swindle u off all ur money... i guess it will just take me time to cool off..

Good Old Friends...

Yesterday I met up wid some good friends of mine… we used to work together and that’s how the friendships developed… we all know each other now for 3 yrs…and so many things have changed since then… we all were studying at that point, trying to just get our education done with…and now all of us our working…really busy… managing barely to keep in touch… it was so good to just talk…we could have gone all night… all of us have gone thru so many life changing situations in the past few years that we all have mellowed down a lot.. be it relationships or career.. it has taught us to be a lot more sympathetic towards one another… the best part of my friends is that they are into fitness….so we had some really good conversations on six packs and workouts and protein shakes…ha ha.. but all in all it was a fun time… was really motivated to workout better and focus more on my diet and exercise…thanks to my friend Amit (personal trainer in Gold’s Gym), after seeing his disciplined lifestyle(his well developed body) and passion for working out, was really encouraged to keep pressing on as regards exercise…

It's all in the Eyes...

Keeping with the flow of Robert Downey Jr I found this really neat photograph...As the saying goes a picture can say a thousand words...for me the look in his eyes say that he has a lot more that he wants to do...the journey has begun but there is a long way to go...so wat does this photograph tell you...please do lemme know...would love to get a different perspective...

The Gift Of Life..

Its funny when u think that a lot of important issues can come out of things we never expect…the reason m sayin this is coz I had gone for a movie (Iron Man) this weekend.. all of u who have watched this movie will definitely be in awe of the technology that is used…loved the scene when he puts on the suit for the first time…I still cant get it out of my head.. but sumthin else stayed in my mind for a long time.. Tony Stark(Robert Downey Jr) was such an intelligent man who had all the wealth in the world, who won countless number of awards, and could have any girl he wanted… but was never grateful about it..it took a big incident like him being kidnapped and to be thrown in a cave for three months, barely surviving, to realize that life is a blessing from God… he did not know for himself how brilliant he was, coz that was the only thing that saved him from his enemies.. sometimes only incidents like this can bring back perspective in our life.. I just hope I am not ungrateful to the people around me, my family, friends, my job… knowin that all this is a blessing from God..

My Future Glory!!

Was really encouraged by this daily devotional, so i thought why not put it as my next post..

"To obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.” - 1 Peter 1:4

We can rejoice after enduring a trial because our hope in Heaven will be renewed.The joy a Christian experiences as a result of trials can be the best kind he will ever know. But so often we allow the everyday stress and strain of financial difficulties, health problems, unrealized goals, and many other trials to rob us of our joy in Christ. True joy stems from spiritual realities that are much greater than temporal circumstances. In today’s verse Peter gives us one strong reason for rejoicing—the confident hope that as Christians we have inherited a place in Heaven. This confidence can be so powerful that Peter, who was writing to believers suffering persecution, describes it as a truth we ought to “greatly rejoice” in (v. 6). This expressive, intense word is always used in the New Testament in relation to the joy of knowing God, never of shallow, temporal relationships. Jesus’ disciples had a difficult time seeing that trials could be related to the certainty of going to Heaven. In teaching them about His upcoming death, Christ told the Twelve, “Therefore you, too, now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you” (John 16:22). And that is exactly what happened when they saw the risen Savior and understood the impact of His work. We can have two responses to trials, just like passengers riding a train through the mountains. We can look to the left and see the dark mountainside and be depressed. Or we can look to the right and be uplifted by the beautiful view of natural scenery stretching into the distance. Some believers even compound their sadness by continuing to look to the mountain shadows of their trial after life’s train has moved away from the threatening peaks. But they would not forfeit their joy if they simply looked ahead to the brightness and certainty of their eternal inheritance. Nothing in life can take away the wonderful promise of Heaven’s glory: it was reserved by God, bought by Christ, and guaranteed by the Spirit (see Eph. 1:11-13).

Suggestions for Prayer:

Ask the Lord to help you meditate today on the glories promised for you in the future.

For Further Study:

Read Revelation 21 and note the primary living conditions that will be true of Heaven.

Need a Change!!!

I don’t know wats wid my mood today…all I want to do is sleep… I think I need a vacation…I feel so worked up lately…even though I get enough sleep at night I never get up fresh in the morning…I think i need a vacation…I just feel like packing my bags and making a trip to a cool place..maybe a beach or sumthin…and just be there for a few days…no one around…sometimes it good just to be by yourself and do some thinking.. I think I need it right now…it might actually refresh me.. I feel the daily environment that I am in is so dull and boring that its kinda havin an effect on me…I know I should not blame the place or the situation…but I have seen it in my life..i am better off when I am around people who are a little lively…anyways hope I feel better by the end of the day.. lookin forward to my weekend..

So You Think You Can Dance???

Well this aint a question to all u readers...If u r into dance n have been watchin AXN lately there is a show by this name...and it has been one of my favourite shows for some time now... the participants really know how to shake a leg...when i watch them dance so gracefully and with such finesse it just gives me goose bumps...they perform from waltz to hip hop,Broadway, salsa, mambo and even quickstep...and mind you they have specialized in only one form of dance...so they actually learn quite a few dance styles on the show it self.. i really appreciate the dedication and love they have for dance which can be clearly be displayed on stage...My favourite contestant is Benji..he is a swing dancer by profession...this guy knows how to move man..last nite they(benji and his partner heidi) danced on mambo...oooh...they were good...i almost got up and started dancin myself...all in all i love this show:)

PS: This picture is of Benji and Heidi doin mambo from last nite's show...
