Fitness and Milind soman :*

Why I Run http://www.huffingtonpost.in/milind-soman/why-i-run_4_b_7869546.html

Milind soman who did a triathlon, many congratulations to you on this achievement!

Milind soman.. I love him. Adore him. My crush.. My McDreamy!!

I have always adored him since childhood. Of course, his looks... Oh so.. Charming.. Hot.. His face.. Body.. His voice.. The way he speaks!!!

I may not have seen all his movies. But 16 December and Rules pyar ka superhit formula are the two movies which I watch every time when they are running on TV just for him. To see him.. To hear his voice..

Watching him run in NDTV greenathon and Mumbai Marathon on TV.. Made me admire him even more.

In his blog, he talks about how liberating fitness is for him and I am glad he feels swimming, running and cycling are his ways to fitness rather then just the gym and building bulky bodies as the trend goes!

He also talks about how he does not like to be told things to do and rather feel on your own, be inspired and attracted to the right things on your own rather than being told.

Also the mental physical and spiritual balance which sports bring in our lives.

Cycling.. As I love it.. Always liberates me so I get it when he says what he means by liberating.

Its the open air... Motion.. Moving forward.. Which really frees you.. As if you are going ahead leaving all the things which hold you down...

That feeling of being on your own and carrying yourself... Being independent.. Sweating it out. Not polluting the air...  Its just amazing!

Fitness.. Be it by anyway.. Brings you closer to your own self. Knowing your own body and mind. Walk.. Run.. Swim.. Cycle.. Or yoga.. Don't pollute environment.

Keep thinking!! Keep fit.. Body, mind and soul. :)

Spending Me time!!

This whole week has been really busy and exhausting for me. Working on logic, meeting the deadlines, working continuously. Only at weekend, I got the Me.. Time.

Its Saturday..
Now what to do? Had been planning to go shopping for so long. Finally, got the time. So went shopping. Some trousers and shirts and tops! Then had some fulfilling kebabs...

Now that I had traveled so far.. Had to see the beach.

Watching the waves, cloudy sky, sitting on the stones, peace, calm! Felt really good!!!!

Traveled all the way back.. Too tired.. Gulped the food and fell asleep.

Sunday... Everything slow.. Lying on the bed even after waking up.. Breakfast.. Tv.. And then some personal grooming... Lunch.. Nap.. Movie.. Just relaxing!

Just being with self and not thinking also can be soothing!! So much fun...

I just love myself and need some pampering from me. :):):) that's really important for me. everyone.

Having that me.. Time..

Away from social media. Just zoning out sometimes. Be it reading a novel or shopping or just relaxing or maybe even doing chores or playing games.
Being with the best company.. You.
Feeling your own!
When we just keep running all week forgetting ourselves. We need that pamper..a hot shower.. to Stop running. And just be. Rejuvenate.

There will be another week of working long hours, doing what you always wanted to, taking those steps to where you want to go, being professional, making things happen and sometimes just belief!

Just go on and do that. But don't forget to spend those little moments, doing those things you like to do to show your love to self!

Keep thinking!

Watching T.V.

TV... Television.. Idiot box.. Or whatever you may call it. We watched daily while growing up and even now whenever we get a chance. It's our way of looking at the world. Different point of views, different shows, different people.. Diversity.

With the advent of social media and YouTube.. We may have decreased our watching but everyone loves to watch it lying on the bed or while eating food or just after a tiring day.

Be it enjoying world cup matches, Wimbledon, those fake reality shows, competitions, award shows, chat shows, movies, songs, series, programmes or dreaded serials.. We can watch them singly or with family.

It doesn't make us feel lonely. It makes us fight with siblings or other members for remote. Remote control is really an important invention alongwith TV. It made us lazy but also a multitasker.

It also gives us reasons for conversations.

Be it about the recent new show, scenes, Songs, our favorite Participants or movie stars. From the clothes they wear, to how they made us laugh, some shows teaching us how to survive, how things are made, some funny videos, brain games, promos, news, travel shows, food shows, fashion shows. So many things to watch!

The whole world at our fingertips!! And yet, sometimes its like there is nothing interesting to watch!

It's not really an addiction. We know we can live without TV. But the question is why would you want to?

If we don't like something which is shown.. We can easily choose not to watch it by switching the channel. Its really in our own hands.. Actually thumb. :)

We can watch educational shows and even entertaining ones. We can learn new things and explore them. It's a medium through which we come to know how each individual is different yet they come together to present us something with  such enthusiasm!

Be it dance shows or singing.. They not only entertain us but also make us want to dance and sing. And the TV series keep us engrossed in stories everyday as to what will happen next. And there are few which make me laugh so loudly!

Also, we get to watch loads of movies action, romance, comedy, thrillers and the mixtures of Hollywood Bollywood, regional and others.

We not only enjoy music  of many genres but also across borders. I listen to sonu nigam, atif aslam and akon too. 

I have enjoyed sarabhai vs sarabhai, shriyut gangadhar tipre and even small wonder and friends with the same ease.

Disney channel india exposed us to so many fantastic shows like Lizzie McGuire, wizards of waverly place, that's so raven, Zack and Cody.

It really made my teenage years awesome!

Also, star one got us glued with Remix, Siddhanth,  special squad, instant khichdi, miley jab him tum and the epic sarabhai vs sarabhai.

And we keep wishing for more shows like these.

The reality shows.... Indian idol, dance India dance, jhalak dikhlaja, roadies, splitsvilla, sa re ga ma, so do you can dance, America's next top model, top chef, master chef india , Australia and USA and so many others.

TV shows...  friends, how I met your mother, grey's anatomy, house m.d.,two and a half men, two broke girls, the big bang theory and many others.

I may have not got the chance to enjoy these shows without TV. 

There is you tube but a bigger screen and surround sound and the easy of just switching on!

Vasudhaiva kutumbakam. The whole world is one big family. TV signifies it..!

Online streaming Videos technology has improved a lot. It may even take over television some day. Many people who keep travelling will prefer that too. But this medium which gave us a total exposure, almost a leap. Visual and audio medium. From the black n white to color to HD. From the big boxes to LCD and LEDs. It has evolved and so is the content on it. It also shows how we have grown and changed and evolved as people.

It makes people famous!

There is so much content on it!! We just can't get enough of it.

It takes us in the world of its own. Away from all the worries and stress. It teaches us so many things. Develops our mind in many ways.

Too much of anything is bad. So can be TV.

Ignoring conversations for TV ain't a good thing.

And even not using our brains and just becoming an idiot without doing anything could interest us but is harmful. We could miss living our life being engrossed in this fictional world.

So we shouldn't make it a bad habit. But just take it easy and have a good past time.

Now, let me enjoy it.. And you too.

Keep thinking!!

Standing up

We hear News about enforcement, harassment. In these cases, a person tries to trouble another person physically and emotionally. Many a times the culprit is an acquaintance.

People who see you daily or watch from far or maybe even speak to you. I just can't believe how anyone can think of hurting the person they like in some way. It is a state of mind of evil which finds pleasure in pain of other.

They may not be terrorists or killers but they sure do kill the life out of a human by not actually killing it.

Sometimes, I think. Why do anyone has to feel lifeless. Its just your body. Nobody can touch your soul or mind until you allow them too. But when someone takes away from you what's only yours, it can not stay away from touching your mind.

One rule should be universal.

No one has a right to trouble another life.

Freedom is what we live for. Freedom is what countries fought tirelessly to achieve. This freedom be it however, we may not make the utmost use of it, but when its mercilessly taken away from us, we cannot stand it.

If we are locked in an empty room we cannot stay in it for more than 45 minutes. Because we need to keep doing something. 

If someone is troubling you in any way.. Be it your friend or colleague or relative or anyone. Try talking it out. Explaining them how their behavior hurts you. If they still can't avoid it. Don't let yourself stick in that situation. Just lose contact with that person or complain if necessary. No one has the right to force you for anything. Be it your spouse, parent or child.

What you internally do not believe in or are against. Don't do it. Don't let them do it.

Don't be scared of losing them or being attacked. If we show courage and stand up for ourselves then only we can be actually FREE.

It is difficult.
Even hard.
But we should do what we feel is right.
Because at the end of the day we have to live with our own self too right?
We should be able to forgive ourselves and not live in regret.

If we live a life on constant force. It will just not be worth living..

There may be many reasons for not standing up like hurting the person, fear of losing, fear of being alone, responsibilities, or even social pressure but there is only 1 reason for doing the right thing and its you.
.
Don't you love yourself that much that you will do something for yourself.

It's going to be difficult.
Even hard.
But it's for you. We should live for our own self.

Keep thinking!!
