Thai Chir...

My my... today, seems to be the most painful day after a long time... Was at the training center at Trivandrum and I heard that there is a new activity that is going to happen, called Taichi. When I heard it, I realized it was only the normal breathing exercise which I realized later how wrong I was. Yeah yeah, it is a breathing excercise, which also helps you maintian your physical fitness. For close to 40 mins I was in the rythym of tearing my legs apart and trying to balance my body. At the same time doing the breathing control. So many a times, either i forgot did I inhale or exhale. Which leg should go behind or to which direction do I do the twist... My my, after sometime I thought if this did not stop then I would faint and six people may have to carry me (Thanks to my huge structure!!!).

But, yeah when being done in the group, I could feel the lovely energy around me that helped me continue with the process. Ofcourse, how can I forget the great "Tanya" who made me do it and "Balaji/Teena" to ensure that I was there to do "Thai Chir" sorry Taichi....

Harried thoughts

There is this one site which I seemed to have taken a good liking for. What I liked was the flow of thoughts and the conversation style that she has put in to explain her wonderful interactions with her son...

Rocking...

It was a desire to do a bit of rock climbing which got fulfilled on my travel to Trivandrum.. The adrenaline rush was really high.. Looking from the ground level the cliff seemed to be small but as I went up the cliff, the fall was really steep. This seemed to be an old quarry which is now used for adventure sport. On one hand I could see the greenery in front of me, spread in vastness, while on the other hand the mere fall gave me goose bumps. The guy on the top helped me with the harness and the loops. My friends said, Sid no problemo, use just need to go perpendicular to the cliff and keep walking down.. It is not at all difficult. I said, if that is it then fine, no problemo. Bloody hell, how would I know the pain and the pleasure in going down. So 1o mtrs down and I realized, that I am all shaky and can't even think of going up. The only choice left was to go down. I said to myself, Sid, you have to go down at any cost, so better enjoy the way down. Believe me, I just enjoyed apart from the shaky feeling inside. My friends kept saying, Sid you are almost there, bend down... leave more rope.. I was telling myself, "Shut-up, I can do it". What ever said and done, their support helped me in going on till I did Touch down..
Once I manage to foot my foot down on the ground, I was like, WoW!! i made it.. It is an amazing feeling, difficult to describe... The feeling now, is what next. Rock climbing is done, Can I look for some para sailing. Who knows I may actually end up doing that..

Pickled cook


It is such a difficult time to be all alone. I am surprised as to how ladies manage to cook for themselves even when they are alone (I am generalizing!!). But for me, even though I love cooking, cooking for self.. naaah.. no way. It is a herculean task. I dread to step into the kitchen. On top of that my lady keeps telling me, why don't you do this.. why not that..

Well I am waiting for her to come back home. No not for cooking but just that I seem to be longing for her company... Miss her ... cooking!!!???!!!

Forced Bachelor

It is the time for me when I had to leave Minakshi at Bhubaneswar. Rishab is now two months old and both Minakshi & Rishab need some care, which for sure I will never be able to give. But, longing to see them. It is the first time that I happen to leave Minakshi and stay. Thanks to this forced Bachelorhood, that the mobile companies do make a lot of money!! ;)

Everyday, when I hear that the little one is taking on his Dad's footsteps, I kind of feel proud on one hand but then thinking of poor Minakshi, I feel sad. She has a torid time managing a relationship with me on top of that another remake...
