Every year around this time there is some josh to lose weight (blame it on new year resolutions) but the weighing scale seldom shows favorable results. As part of my josh i have also started visiting (still not a regular) the gym in our complex. All kind of namunas you can see in the gym, the one category that makes you most jealous are the guys with flat abs, perfect butts and muscled limbs. These guys are gym regulars and they actually de-motivate you the most. The amount of effort they put in is 100 times of what visitors like me do. Anyway, I realized there are lot of visitors like me, one day -
Out of the 4 treadmills in our complex - one was not operational, I occupied one and 2 women in their 40s hijacked the remaining two
I was busy with whatever walking/running i was doing but i was all ears ..
Lady 1 (was walking at a speed of may be 3-4 km per hr) : Yaar, at 18 i was so fit, i used to run up the stairs without pausing for breath. Ab dekho... I am not even able to walk
Lady 2: seriously !! it has been so long since i ate to my heart's content and then stuffing some more not worrying about these calories. Yesterday I had made pani puris and i had to stop at 20 puris
Lady 1: What !!!! you made Pani puri yesterday ? why didn't you call me ?
Lady 2: Aree Pani is still left, lets go after the gym and have some
Lady 1 : Great idea.
That is when the power went off. I am sure the ladies were happy that they can now go home but their bad luck was very bad, the backup power was on in less than 10 seconds
Lady 1: f**k !!! what was the reading before power went off? was it 1.3 km or 1.5 km ? as per chart we have to walk 2 km each day. So should we walk 0.7 km or 0.5 km now ?
Lady 2: ohh shit yaar, i also did not notice? Lets calculate. What time did we come ?
Lady 1: I think 10:00 am and i think the power went off at 10:17 am, so in 17 minutes at the rate of 4.2 km per hr how much did we cover?
Lady 2: please take out the mobile and do speed * time
Lady 1: 4.2 * 17 gives 71.4 ?? we are doing something wrong ?
Lady 2: Yes something is wrong, call your husband and check
Me (i wanted to tell them it is ok if you walk 200 odd metres more) : divide by sixty and you should be good
Lady 1 and Lady 2: Ohh thanks they replied in chorus. Lady1 did something with her mobile and was shocked with the result (1.19)
Lady 1: are your sure we came at 10 am and not before? i remember i crossed 1.4 km ? what should we do
My session was over and had to rush for my meeting or else i would have definitely stuck around to see what these guys eventually did.
Note - this is a true incident. i narrated this to my wife and she thinks i have cooked up this story...but my lord .....yeh sach hai !!!
