the lovely PAIN is back!!!

(Think of a dull mellow boring music in the background while u r reading this part)!

IPL is over :(…life seems 2 b on an all time low…nothings left…those 37 days were so full of life, excitement, discussions, ice-creams (1 sponsored after each match on the basis of result) and what not!!! Now, there is no zeal going back home frm office except on the weekends (for obvious reasons). When I come 2 office in the morning, it feels like “abhi to gaya thaa!” while during IPL, there used to be a different world at home too….N now, the differentiation has vanished.

N on top of it, the game of politics is almost over too, settled well for the next 5 years, I suppose…to ab hum naujawaan kare kya!!!

(Think of a sudden fast pace background music like Rocky to gain volume while u r reading this)!!!

Getting bugged wid evything, I decided to hit back again at the place which has always enthused me, The Gym. Not a big time body builder, but yeah, this is my fourth credible attempt at the coveted place. The first one: When I was in school, and believe u me, it was love at first sight, the only issue was that, I could never indulge in this adrenaline rush love due to the persistent exams and studies…u knw!!!

The second and third attempts were fruitful 2-month stretches of gymming, which I have talked abt in my previous post. So, finally comes the fourth attempt and so comes the PAIN…Five regular days in the gym and every muscle of my body is paining like anything, every move I make like even raising my neck stretches the side muscle and I feel IT, but believe me there are only a few kinds of pain which one can love. And this one for me is lovable to the core. Even right now, while m writing, my elbow is pressing against the handle of the chair which triggers the pain, but nay, soon I get my elbow again over to get the same sweet feeling again and again ;-)

I knw its sounding weird, like a masochist, but its not that at all. If u’ve never paid a visit to The Gym, there is something which u will never experience and that is called as the lovely pain of the working out…the only pain which will might make you smile...as they say, "u hav to feel it to believe it..."

Some are sufferers of the pain of the heart,
Some are bugged by the pain in the a#^%,
Some have it in the soul; some have it near the broken bone,
Some experience it mentally, some loathe it physically,
Some run away from it, some wish to never chase it,
But all I m sayin, is jst experience it once…the pain of a work-out sane…!

:)


PS: I told my trainer at the Gym abt this pain, n he told me tht it stays jst for a week…:(…some1 just overheard and said, “Yeh meetha dard hai miyaan…!” N popped the other one, “Nay, how can it b meetha dard…! Meetha dard to kuch aur hota hai!”, n there was a laugh riot at the gym!

Here comes the PM...

With no Bollywood flicks around, the only three things which I’m engrossed with these days are nothing but IPL, Zoozoo ads and Elections…

Having already created a lot of buzz on the former two via Facebook messages, Gtalk lines, blogs n what not …, today, I’m making an attempt to talk about the latter one, which actually is a story that’s gonna impact the maximum part (hopefully next 5 years) of our upcoming lives…n yes, it is more influential than any of the Zoozoo’s antics and Cheerleader’s latka-jhatka…

So, the match or the mis-match begins this Saturday i.e. the May 16th and believe me or not, I am waiting to watch this one much more than even the next Rajasthan Royals match…

But let me get this straight right away, that I call myself a nobody when it comes to politics and I even couldn’t vote this year because of our sheer archaic system where even if someone who wants to vote, he/she can’t since they have a Voter id card which belongs to their hometown, but beyond all that, still I can say it out loud that it is the first time in my life that I hav found myself having a newfound interest in the Indian elections and this is first time I hav a real enthu to know its outcome too…!

So whatever gyaan I hav borrowed with this diligent followership, I wish to rage a young debate to know who will be the better PM of our country, some say that the current elections makes us choose the best amongst the worst two candidates which I don’t really agree to…

So, out of the options we have on cards, the following can be the PM of our country this year…

1. Singh Saab: Some call him weak, some the best economist, some a rubber stamp…whatever he might be, I think he and PC are still the two best economists in the country…wasssay? However, they can form govt. only with Left’s support or if they can manage a single majority party. The second option even sounds like a distant dream and the first one will again be like “a bird dying to fly yet caged”…end result…no reforms…a repeat of last 5-years dismal performance???

2. L K Uncle: He can come with the support of Mayaji and Jayaji only. And believe me or not, it might be worse than Option 1. These guys might try to act bold in the beginning but with Jayaji and Mayaji’s persistent tantrums for becoming the PM, the govt. might even not last its full term…what say?

3. Lefty Karat: Faaaaaaaar chance, but believe me, if any of the leftists come to power, than our economy will be down to the drains and the first thing I will do is to sell of all my stocks…:)

4. Five PMs in 5-years: Oh yes, that will happen if Third Front comes to power…Oh, you guys don’t know what third front is…even I don’t know…so plz…don’t take ur slippers out…, lets say, this is NOT happening, for now!

So, while we wait for our own Obama of Change, I think that’s what’s on cards for this year. Now, I wish to understand what do you guys think, is the sentiment against the incumbent orrr the Gandhian Surd will rule the game again orrrrrrrr there will be some1 else, the unexpected, who will make us Dance on the tune of Democracy…what’s your best bet?

Whatever it might be, m ready with my popcorns n couch to watch this piece of action which starts this Saturday…what about u…???
