Awesome thing # 57 - People!

Tuesday sucked. I woke my lazy ass at 6am in the morning of this chilly weather and went to attend the Art of Living's 1st of the 6 days course - my second stint in 2 years. Why i went there was for the Yoga. They teach some breathing things which are seriously good. I still remember the first thing i learnt here 2 years ago. It went something like this 

There are 3 types of species in the world 

Dog - breathes 3 times in 1 sec

Man - breathes once in 1 sec

Tortoise - breathes once in 3 sec

Dog: lives upto 15 years

Man: lives upto 80 years

Tortoise: lives upto 180 years!

So, if you breathe properly, you will live properly.

This was the driving force which took me to this camp again. and it worked well for me the last time. If you try to breathe properly, you will inhale so much oxygen that it will give you a super HIGH, and give you a dreamless, peaceful sleep for days! and then to top it, it will improve your health, your fat will burn fast and your blood flow will increase. Super stuff, aint it!

But, i guess somethings are better left done only once. Like this camp. My first day here on tuesday was boring, sad and i hated the teacher who was taking it. They repeat stuff! The only good part came after 2 hours of utter boredom - we meditated and then did some breathing exercise. Needless to say, i skipped the entire camp after that and haven't gone there again. Nor will I go in the future. Sorry, AOL :|

The next day, wednesday, I met at least 14 different people throughout the day! Not including my family members, of course. Started the day at 8am, went to the court with dad and met 3 usual case-mates :P Came back and then met Romit and went to dce yet again. (4) Had the best post-lunch snacks again :) Then i went to the hospital to meet my older cousin who was admitted for some disease. Met him and my uncle. (6). Left that place and accidentally called up Tulsi, met her :) (7). Came back then and went for a walk with Piyush after dinner. (8). After i came back, saw my 'gali' people playing badminton. Struck a conversation with one of them and ended up playing badminton with the 3 couples. (14). Needless to say again, i have plans to start playing with them more often :)

Awesome thing # 56 - Frizbee

It was almost after 10 years that i touched a frizbee today and almost 15 years since i actually played. Well, when you want something to happen, it does eventually...and so it happened today :) Me, pandu and amar, a frizbee and a bat-ball went to India Gate to give our lazy and couch-ridden bodies some activity. And we found out one thing - Frizbee is damn tough a sport to play because of 2 reasons. One, not many people find it easy to throw the disc (pandu just couldn't throw it!) and partly because of it, two, it is very very tiring..because the disc follows some complex laws of aerodynamics to never land where it is intended to :P We had super awesome fun though. We also played some catch catch with our tennis ball :D Serious reminder of school days it was! 


And then came the surprise part. Me and pandu decided to beat up the other fatso to the ground, but instead those 2 buffaloes tackled me to the ground and jumped on top of me - with their 360 pounds of solid mass :( Man, that hurt. But wait, there was more! As i ran to get the bugger pandu to the ground, i slipped, got entangled in the cone-pointed iron chain of the pavement and hurt my left foot terribly. People who watched laughed hysterically :P Well, even i would have if i were on the other side :D But sadly, things were different. So i struggled to my feet again...and we walked (i limped) to the ice cream wala to have some delicacy :) Somehow, i felt good that i hurt myself playing :P It rarely happens to our age group now.


I don't think I have enjoyed any other game more than this lately. We should play this game more often. 


P.S. I am having a lot of fun these days and work is not good. I think some bad days are round the corner :)

Awesome thing # 55

I made up for missing Metallica last week, by watching Sonu Nigam live in concert today :P Well, to be honest he was pretty awesome. Qutub Minar in the background, smokin awesome lighting and this guy with his band performing to some nice beats. Without a doubt he is a super singer and extremely talented. He even composed a song live on stage with the lyrics from the audience at that very moment! But the bugger did not sing a single song from his most amazing collection - Deewana. Nonetheless, we attended this and then went on to have the usually amazing Italian at Big Chill. No alchohol tonite and the night went awesome.


P.S. The crowd at khan market is always composed of 2 kinds of people. 1, babes with their dudes and 2, us. This has been happening now since forever! :( One day i will be there with my girlfriend..one day.
