Silk


Early morning gym is such a pain till I get there! But yes this is one place where thirsty souls like me (no puns here…I mean thirsty for interesting observations) find a lot of spice. Today morning was no exception…

“One more.. .one more... one more… arey sir 20 toh karo” says Sudhir Sir in his deep husky voice. Huh…huh…huh…went the tough guy on his tread mill, for a second I thought he could win the Olympics with this speed – 14…now that’s wow! Kitna dalu sir? Pandhra ya bees? (Weights he meant, I presume :P)Said the Shorty with muscles so heavy that he could compete with Arnold Schwarzenegger soon…heavy weights, six pack dreams, too much of sweat and shitty music is a regular sight of my GYM…the place where I say my au revoirs and bonjours  to my flabs quite regularly.

Anyways, while the regular chores of workouts were on something happened!

The TV which does it for a music player started singing a retro no and then came “Aurat jo hai na rainbow ki taraha hoti hai…jitney raang utne roop…kisiko lagti hai lottery ki tarah...lag gait oh kismet badal jati hai…kisiko hoti hai mohobat ki tarah…ho gai toh  jaan atak jati hai…muze toh chadhi zeher ki tarah ki abb pani bhi piu toh aag lag jati hai… haan ahhhhh”  thadd… drops the 50 KG dumbbell from the Shorty’s hand (50 is an exaggeration) No points for guessing guys…yes it is the dirty picture! (Remember that my blog is all about PUNs!)

The point of the matter is that the very moment this video ended the rock still gym went back to what it was – busy in oneself kind of a place can we say sex still sells? If yes does it always sell? If not then where does it sell? And who is the target audience? Is male as a TG for sex based communication an example of marketing myopia? These are all the questions that struck my mind while I continued to pretend being busy doing my abs (for two reasons I wanted to observe these bunch of males unaware and two I dint want them to think I was different…LOLz)

P.S: Answers to any or all the questions are most welcome...come on guys!

A battle won, will I win the war?

As a kid I heard stuff like 'change is the only constant' and wondered if it has to change, why waste time trying to do anything about it - Lazy me you see ... ( I am writing a new post after 6+ years, that explains a lot) but today is different, today I had to say it. This morning when I got dressed up for a friendship day celebration at work (yes I work on Saturdays :( ) I asked Mr. Husband to take a picture of me for my before & after collection (BTW I am on a weight loss cycle again! This time on I am 100% at it) he took a good one with his iPhone 7+ and wallah! I look stunning - to him, of course and to me for the first time in a while! I sent the pic to my sister and she said - Make this your DP... and I was not sure! I have been conscious of a lot of things in the 30 years being, so much that I would find comfort in hiding behind the crowd, this was perfectly normal till I met my split personality for the first time in school. This split is a center stage person...

Simple Complexes

I  have been out of form for a while, part because I was busy - part because I was not, welcome to my world :) So lately I have been travelling to work with Mr. Husband and amidst some cozy PDA, we have been engaging in some worldly knowledge sharing sessions . The beauty of these conversations is that before we come to conclusions, it is time to say see you in the evening! One such conversation today made  ponder, retrospect and introspect! Complex! Sounds difficult and is difficult to understand and express! Complex! We spoke of someone we know an how I felt they had a deep complex of how they looked and the fact that to us, this individual seemed perfectly normal and in fact really radiant. While we discussed the positives of this individuals, it was time for me to get off the comfortable car ride and hop on to the bumpy auto ride to my work place. On my ride ahead, I kept thinking of this person and what could have led to them think of themselves as infer...

Open for happiness

Turning 31 was something I never thought of as being positive, let alone exciting 😟 but here I am all 31 and all fine as old wine 😉. On that note, I move my focus to the real muse of this article, Pooja. She was the better, more sincere, cuter one - in short she was the Sharma ji ki beti in the house! While I agree she was, childhood with her was bitter-sweet with us almost strangling each other over who got more Maggie to sharing candy that we got in school. All in all I had confused -  mixed feelings about being the elder one! She, being better at most things - adulting being one of them, was with me in the most difficult times. She did the reading for me and saved me the mehnat of going through self - help research and shared all the great insights. She enrolled me into Reki and boy, that changed my life. I chose today to share this because its a special day - it is the day I was born and Pooja in the past couple of years has helped me be born again! This post i...
