She used to regulary look and my friend and run. My friend noticed this and it was like everytime this girl looked at him she increased her speed..now my friend whom even being the yokosuna type (hope u remember him from childhood days on tv...) fancied himself to be usain bolt and he also increased his speed...this continued for around half an hour when these two were setting their own 100 meter records....The girl left and my friend was satisfied he had won this mini contest...but he got his medal after returning home..he was not able to move his legs and arms and was confined to his chair for the rest of the day<br /><br />It was at this moment he decided that he will never again venture into the gym..<br /><br />Now he is well on his way to hitting a 150 :))))Hariharanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397673861352781587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-77483238461390896212009-06-26T09:46:32.868+05:302009-06-26T09:46:32.868+05:30Narayanan: Reading- thats where I get the words fr...Narayanan: Reading- thats where I get the words from. And a vocabulary is to use. Not stack away :) And also, knowing some extra words doesn't make anyone a lecturer. That's a gift in itself.<br />With regard to the gym, Long absence was not because a memory loss, but because of a sickness. The next time you are unwell, it would be interesting to note how many calls you make to tell people you ll be unable to turn up somewhere. Also I beg to differ there on the way you put your point across. <br />With regard to Newton, my focus is only that he asked and is on the act of questioning. I felt like saying it there and there it is. It makes sense to me and does not look out of context. <br />Gymming is not equal to instant results. If you thought so then I am sure you would have known by now that you are super wrong my friend. I now see a lot of similarities in people who go to the gym and want to look a million bucks in a month and those who go to learn music and want to be a recording artiste immediately. I cannot understand that. I personally am not into that kinda thinking. After all, you have to put in 12+ years to get a certificate that says you finished school with some marks. Nothing more nothing less. That said, I enjoy my time at the gym and perhaps I can safely say that it will be something I will do for life.Chinmayi Sripada /Chinmayeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140920395019781614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-22017018557700235312009-06-26T09:03:57.981+05:302009-06-26T09:03:57.981+05:30Chins,

And for some addicts (or fans) like me who feel annoyed to check back and forth every time only to find nothing is updated yet! Of course i know u can ask for feeds to be emailed when u update any blog. But call me lazy as i fail to do so... or i have another theory, its looks silly to get feeds for blogs! (hell...devil may care).<br /><br />Anyways, I wanted to ask you something, how common is a word like "traipsing". I was like, oh my god! does this girl refer dictionaries to find new words just merely to use in blogs as show off! Can't u keep it simple as basic purpose of language is communication! Ofcourse the word is one more added to my kitty. But just wondering what your modus opeandi is incase of vocabulary building. Care to enlighten us?<br /><br />Coz, as an average / ardent reader of all magazines online, i have never come across the word. May be if u cud suggest the same, people who write GRE or GMATs or Blogs may use your techniques to learn good words. I go one more step ahead in praising ur creativity in using the word "Thingerie", "magarine or marmalade"; u indeed have another profession of becoming a lecturer in English.<br /><br />Anyways, coming to the topic, you did have a subtle message to readers esp. after those hard hitting topics a few posts before. But i beg to differ on your arguments! If u don't remember to inform ur gym of ur long absence coz of ur STM, u don't deserve one (membership!). Its just a phone call after all!<br /><br />Secondly, the Newton's analogy looks out of context! In tamil we say, "Mottai thalaikkum muzhangalukkum mudichu podara". Newton asked about the fall of apple to discover some scientific facts. You are asking us to ask questions to exercise our rights! In what way both of these are in context.<br /><br />And finally, on ur advise on pumping iron, i started in 3 months back, heck a very late starter at 27! Still, I had the passion to turn up their (free at our apt), for 2 months. It's not only that u feel tired, sometimes, u get demotivated when u don't see the results! I know that's instant gratification at its worst. But seriously that is one reason and I wanted to caution u on that! Have perseverance and don't loose interest even if u don't see instant results. It may be loosing some flab or gaining some muscles (as for men incl. me!).<br /><br />Signing off......NarayananUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619696982166753915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-55577804755887966152009-06-26T07:02:56.552+05:302009-06-26T07:02:56.552+05:30hai akka,

Being a IT professional he has to compensate the long sitting work hours. Becoming a member and working out on your own generally does not pose serious problems. The work out 'packages' that the fitness centers offer really scares me out. Often the trainers does not have good knowledge and they dont guide their customers well. As u said the thing they are bothered about is only money. I have a lot of friends who paid huge sum and gained nothing. I dont blame all the fitness centers, but most of them which attracts especially the "middle class" and "i want to reduce my weight immediately" kind of people work only for money. Yes, we have to keep a regular fitness regime but at the same time double check the fitness center we approach. Afterall it is a health related issue.<br /><br />-KalpanaPriya Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328180323504956556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12719946.post-44220947100542333442009-06-24T17:18:49.972+05:302009-06-24T17:18:49.972+05:30Hi Chinmayi,

I though started to see the exercising as a medical practice, but now i realise the happiness of doing it.<br /><br />But the sad part is that i m not very regular.
