Gym Regime

Hey guys…Today I am going to show you how my gym looks like. It has got tonnes of equipment that i dont even know about leave alone using them. I am happy with my elliptical, treadmill, cycling,crunches and the machine which lets u sit n then twist sideways so that ur waist gets defined ( dunno wts it called).

My dearies..this is where i am most of the times in the gym

There are some body builder types who come in n its fun watching them..

Some of the equipments look like they are from a playground..lol

My fav here is the treadmill though i know elliptical is more effective...

Me!!

still no headshot...sumhow m not comfortable plastering my face here...on one part its unreasonable as m all over FB..dunno why.. does anybody else feel the same??

Thats my gym…the first one i have ever joined. I dont know how it is by international standards..well equipped or a basic one but to my eyes it seems like it has got all..and the best part is it’s not crowded..:).It has got a trainer who you may use if needed…But i think i am managing on my own ..I go for 45 mts sessions as its just the start and i dont want to tire myself out. Basically i do 15 minutes of elliptical, 15 mts treadmill,10 mts cycling and 5 mts for crunches and the twister. I sometimes shuffle up and sometimes i increase/ decrease the timings . But majorly thats how n what i do..

Thats it for now guyzz…take care and keep visiting!

furnished house pics

As promised, i am publishing the pics of my furnished house..Apologies for the delay..gt a little bit occupied with dinners n movies..The house is not spick and span as the pics were taken right in the morning time …which is a rush hour tym for me..

The Entryway and the wall opposite it with family pics..This is my fav part of the house..and the cabinet is the shoe cabinet..

The kitchen on the left hand side of the entryway..pl excuse that it luks a bit messy..kay just left for work when this pic was taken so hadn't had the tym to tidy it up much..

The living room on the right hand side of the entryway. Sometimes we would keep lookin for each pieces ( couch, rug,book lack etc.)for 2-3 days, scout various retailers and then after much searching, wud select one..It was tedious but most fun. I was quite sad when the PROJECT HOUSE got over:(

Our prized possession..The L shape Couch. Kay wanted this one so bad..and it luks marvellous. Plus its so comfortable and very appropriate for those cat naps... and did i mention i luv this painting...

Another view of the living room...the long shot from the balcony side..m thinking of adding sum flowery thing in the room but cant think of the proper corner to place it.Also i want a small fountain like thingy, the sound of water is supposed to be a gud thing as per feng shui but again placement problem..Any suggestions?

one more...yes u can tell now i am in llouvvv wid my living room...:)

The bedroom---The bed is yet to be made properly as you can see i havent tucked the sheet in...

The bedroom needs a painting though to be hung on the main wall...M so grateful for this built-in wardrobe..It was such a relief not to invest in a bulky wardrobe.

The main bath...n m a cosmetic junkie;0

The Half bath

So thats it frnz…I hope u like the house.. i know i do:) CIAO…keep rocking!

Small gestures

Sometimes small gestures speak a volume. I have this one friend who is my bestie. We have been thru school ( 11th & 12th)  & Graduation together and even post graduation was in the same city but diff colleges. It has been 13 yrs to our frnship now,  tchwud !n we r still goin strong. Now last yr I got a  bit upset with her as i felt that she is not makin enough efforts on her part to be in touch with me. We stay in different countries n our situations ( read phone call rates) were a little different. Nevertheless i told her how i felt . Now here is the thing…she could have  felt irritated about our conversation and left it at that. But instead she listened, actually listened and later on proved thru her actions that she does not want to hurt the frnship and that she cares so much about me n our frnship. She made genuine, qualitative and tangible efforts to stay more in touch with me and i am so grateful to her for that. Not for her effort ( obviously i am glad that she makes an effort) but MORE  for her listening and not walking away. This is somethin i will always always remember. So dear friend if u r reading this, i love u n thanks!:) As they say , if sumbody really loves u n care for u they will always find ways  and time to connect…

fitness first!

Finally i have done sumthin i have been puttin off for a while. Mind u ,it was not coz i dint want to it was just laziness on my part…So u ask what is it….Well i have joined Gym…:) ya that simple sentence warrants a smiley….We had recently shifted to a new locality and there is a grt gym rite behind our building. So i have enrolled and its a good feeling. The plus points are u can go anytime and for whatever duration u want , 10 mts or 2 hrs totally up to u…Thats cool…

I am lukin forward to it every day now and lets see, if i am lucky i might meet sum amazin peeps there n forge sum frnships. I have joined with the goal of toning down a bit and basically just to get out of the house and off the TV.( A little losing the Pounds wud be added benefit) I luv tv u see so i watch it a lot n i thot a little bit of activity wont hurt.Plus i get to plan my day acc to whenever i feel like gyming and that works gud for me as i tend to procastinate things ( read household work) to the last minute. Havin a constant thing in my schedule(??) allows me to wrap my head around the chores nicely!  So Happy Gymming!:))

Generation gap???

Have you ever seen the serial navya?  if not i will give u a brief.. its about 2 college going lovers Anant and navya who have fallen in love but their families are against them and against each other. Now thats a common reaction but the way it was shown on tv was not common. The parents of both navya n anant got to know about their relationship in a common relatives marriage.

source- http://starplus.startv.in/show/navya-anants-decision-shocks-navya/news118_2246.aspx

Now the thing which i couldn’t digest was the way both families were portrayed. Both the families are highly cultured families. Yet they behaved in such shocking manner that too when a wedding is happening at somebody else’s place.  This topic is very real but whose parents create such a scene in real life had this situation taken place. ?? They were shown to be calling each other names and tarnishing each other’s reputation..and anant and navya has such expressions as if they have murdered sumbody….a huge drama was created and guests in the wedding  started to notice. In real life the parents would talk to their wards privately and settle the issue once they get back to their respective homes. Instead the exact opposite was shown. In fact the kids were shown placating them. So my point is  please start showing things which we can relate to…not such dumbness….
