For those who wonder what the title is ..pls wait for a while..
Well Iam not a regular and serious blogger ..whatever I've written were to kill my time and loneliness in my last official visit to napa valley. After my return to Blr, Jun'07 its hard even to glance orkut. IT has deployed all sorts of new policies & technology to block any such social-networking sites...only for our fresher colleague to crack it with a new idea ...
One day I saw Suhas and Amit (colleagues of mine) happily browsing Orkut.Till then I could only see an email intimation about somebody scrapped me and I asking my some other online friends to read the scrap for me.. and at time they made a hell mockery of my Employer !!! and then comes these folks explained me the cache-refresh trick (we called it that way latter). Idea is simply search orkut in google (thats'nt blocked) and on the results click cached-pages ...and u r in...!!! Can you guys believe that...All you need is out of the box thinking
Then I was busy for almost 10 months ...not much of orkut..no blogging...not in touch with friends. But in the meanwhile I did something to keep myself away from boring..I started Aerobics...(Yes the same one you see in some TV channels in the early morning) It started as a joke and one Sunday myself and sugesh(my roomy) just went to "look-for" aerobics classes..we found one close by and we inquired in general about the classes.!!! Seeing at our "noviceness" the trainer (Archana !!) suggested us to take a training class for a week, 6:30 AM daily, and then decide.
Well all set and planned, Our aerobics-registration was the talk & joke of the day for our roomies..Reason being, my partner was very much known for his "commitment".
Well we guys managed to be thick skinned ... and sugesh keep assured me "Anna dont worry na..we will make it..World will make fun of us..but one day they will realise..". Well only then I realised about his being-commited !! Anyway I've no choice...Besides adding onemore go-live experience in my CV I've also added 5+ Kgs to myself Am in the verge of joining fulltime 38-incher club. (By then not all my pants were 38)!!
Rocky Balboa was jalking in Pennsylvania streets in the early morning for his second match with the whole crowd wishing and the kids following him with such a beautiful sound track by.....wait a minute...oops...it my alarm-tone and ..why the hell now..oops its
Monday 5:30 AM - First Alarm : No response.
5:39: AM -Second Alarm..and I snoozed...
5:48:AM - Next alarm...(Ctrl+Y!!)
5:55: Finally I managed to woke up and awake my friend too (latter that became tradition), and moved in to the bathroom. Digestion-clock not accustomed to this sudden time change...it will catch-up soon no issues :) Only thing I prayed was not to intervene in my class !!
6:20 Me.Finding my socks... Sugesh: still snoring in the bed..I shook him and reminded about the class (Thank god my other roomies were also in the same state..so no humiliation...)
6:23: I'm ready..and Suge getting in to bathroom..
6:30...Sugesh out with tooth brush in ...searching for a tracks.
6:35..Iam restless now..Sugesh managed to get his brothers track..but now hez hunting for shoes..
6:37: Found one...but hez little disappointed that its not matching his tracks.. :)
6:42 we both ready...and started moving out.
6:45 We saw a gang of mostly Maamis and couple of chicks in the dance floor...well delayed by 15 mts. The batch has already finished the usuall warm-up (10mts) and started the regular. Trainer welcomed us and suggested to follow the team. It was fun on the first day..to see ourself doing steps...I tried to avoid eye-contact with sugesh..else both of us would have burst into laugh.. (Though aerobics is new to my friend, thats not the case with me..I had been for 2 months just 3 yrs before and discontinued :)..Well I'll share that stoy in a different topic..)
7:35 AM..
At our level Aerobics is full of steps and sychnrono which will come only from practise. End of the class archana adviced not to be bothered about missing steps...also adviced not to stop in the middle.
In the josh of first class we didn't realise we climbed 3 floors up with 12+12 narrow steps to each floor...Man now I could see both of ankles & kness rushing down in the steps..with no contorl of brakes :(
7:58: We defended ourselves that we will be commited for this ...only to our friends mockery !!
Bu the irony is we did continue the class for 3 months and in fact we liked it. Roomys were waiting for day us bunking class but it never happened :)
To their further surprise,we inspired Pradeef, our friend, to join us. Though Sugesh was bunking class once in a while,I was almost regular for 3 months (excluding mondays on the weekend I travel to hometown) untill my travel to Singapore. I did see a weight loss of 4.5 kg and see my tummy melted a bit. More than that I felt a kind of freshness and confidence at work in office. I started buying couple of slim-fit shirts.
