My Body’s Sustainability

From the last two months my daily schedule for almost 6 days is as follows:

Wake Up by 6:30 AM, walk for approximately 2.5kms and hit the gym, do gymming for 45 min to 1hr 15 min and then walk back 2.5kms and go for swimming for 45 minutes and then go back to home and do cooking followed by eating, taking bath and sleeping for 30 min. Go to the office by 2:00 PM and go back home by 11:15 PM and hit the bed. Adding to this from last 10 to 15 days I am started to do horse riding also. This means waking up by 5:00 AM , catching up the bus by 5:45 AM , traveling 10 kms , getting down the bus and walking another 1 Km till the stables and then do 30 min of horse riding and then go to Gym directly and followed by swimming. Initially when I am doing two things ( Gymming and Swimming ) my body is able to take it and when I started to add Horse riding to it my body and health went for a toss. I felt good initially but my body couldn’t able to take it all this . I broke down last week and was on my bed for 5 days. Still struggling to regain my strength. This reminds me of a story by Sadhguru. The story goes like this

“Once there is a fly who wants to go to the top of the very long vertical tree. So it started eating bull shit daily. Day by day it started to climb more and more. Finally one day it reached to the top of the tree. Suddenly a man, who is practicing gun shooting, saw this file at the top of the tree and shot it. The fly died. Moral of the Story: Bull shit may take you to the top but it will not be able to sustain you there.”

Soon after realizing about my body, I decided to keep my physical activities to two per day. Right now thinking of doing yoga to regain my lost strength.

The New ‘MY’Tattoo

Image
It took nearly three and half years to get the new tattoo inked on my body. This tattoo has a special significance to me as it represents me psychologically and emotionally. The inception of the idea of getting tattooed has begun when I met Aparna Sarepaka (alias Appy) who is an amazing artist (One of few best artists I have known till date) and was amazed by her designs and sketches. I asked her whether she could help me out in sketching myself for a tattoo. She agreed and asked me to fill a template about likes / dislikes and interests /disinterests. She actually sent me some designs but those are cluttered and needed some modifications. I requested her to do the same. Meanwhile she got busy with her exams and then with her life and the project went on HOLD.Then I worked independently looking lot of designs in different cultures and trying to match to my philosophy in life.Nothing got materialized. After sometime I met Tejaswi Damaraju , an architect with immense interest in des...

Interval Bang

As I was falling from the plane from 13300 ft with a speed of 200Km/hr, I felt very much relieved as I completed my bucket list that was created five years back.I became free from it. I was so attached to the bucket list that there was a background process running all the time in my mind to complete the bucket list. Freedom is unexplainable experience. I did not know how to express it and I felt like running running running and running. The moment I landed on the ground, I got an impression that half of my life was over. In the movie language, the first half was over and the interval time had arrived. Bazinga!!! Looking back, life was mostly passive till third year of my engineering education. Life spurted during the final year. Then it started to scrawl then to walk then to sprint then to run. Past 6 to 7 years, life was at a very good rush: Ignorance recognized, ego brought down, confidence unveiled, courage uncovered, love craved, character built, innocence protected, youthful vi...

Becoming a little Lighter

Image
Philosophy is in my blood. If you chat with me for 30 min I will atleast refer it 7 to 9 times or perhaps more. People  were puzzled, and even considered  me foolish /stupid and if the person was woman /gal she would go mad. Some people thought I would become sanaysi at one point of time. It has reached a point where for even I do not get a cup of tea I started referring philosophy which made people even more mad and this in turn made me mad. I tried to control it but I could not. As George Bernard had put it more eloquently “ Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman but believing what he read made him mad.” I guess I am Don Quixote in making. I was brought up in a lower middle class Brahim family. Philosophy is everything for us. To get motivation I referred philosophy, to calm myself I referred philosophy, to get answered questions I referred philosophy, if my dad sends my brother out of the house since he did not make it into top 3 of the class I referred philosophy,  wh...
