It was a short trip From here to nowhere A journey that was on the anvil All along Undertaken well.. In the mind For it never could be. (A short poetry... that never could be!!)
[Topmost pic - current; Pic just above - November, 2008] Hi folks! Sorry for the long delay. Wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and an advance Happy 2009. Fully into bodybuilding now. I've reduced about 7.5 kilos in 3 months and have shifted to full-fledged weight training from chiefly cardio-vascular exercises. No six packs as yet, but have already been seeing the outlines of one. It's alternate-day jogging and 6-days a week weight training now. I'm actually on a split routine, i.e. alternate days of working separate body-parts to give those time to recover and grow. My mornings now begin at 4:50 am on jogging days and 5:45 am on the other ones. The workouts are rigorous - consisting of 2.5 hours on an average. I complete all studies the previous night, of course, till I begin dozing off embarassingly in my chamber! The experience of my new passion is thrilling - overcoming newer and greater weight resistances and reaching new heights ...
Great News. Got delivery of the new Maruti Swift on May 20, 2008 i.e. last Tuesday. The driver of our family car brought it home from the showroom. From then on, I've been driving it. Enjoying it, I can assure. The model is very comfortable as well as powerful. So engrossed at the moment with the new acquisition and mastering it that I've not even been coming online regularly! We intentionally took delivery during the summer vacation and the decision has proved to be successful. I can't even dream of devoting so much time to the Swift during regular weekdays (apart from driving it to Court and back, of course). Bye for the moment.. have to go out again .... in the Swift of course!! [But the pic here is not of my one, will upload mine asap]
Sorry folks - a really long gap this time. I shan't make any excuses. Just too busy due to the oncoming annual vacation of our Court. I'm into the fourth month of driving and bodybuilding! Getting benefits in both. Initially I was getting confused since there's so much literature on bodybuilding on the net. However, I'm getting somewhat accustomed to understanding the needs of my body. As far as driving is concerned, the teething troubles of the new driver seem to be over. Now I'm trying out techniques in 'hypermiling' i.e. extracting more mileage out of your car than the brochures say. E.g. using the brakes and gas pedal (accelerator) less, shifting the gear to neutral and idling long before you reach traffic signals and so on. Hey.. saw a movie in the meantime which touched me. It's 'Mumbai meri jaan', using a cliche from an old Hindi movie song to good effect. It's about the change in lives of different cross-sections of the Mumbaikars...
