A morning walk and thoughts

I work up early today with lot of thoughts in me. With no intention to sleep again, I was lying down in bed thinking about something. After a coffee and overview of morning paper here (I never like that), I was roaming around the house. My aunt told me about Sangy Tank nearby, a good place for a walk. With no intention to walk today, I told her I will go and check that place.

It is 5 mins walk from my aunt's home. Lots of trees here in Bangalore. Sangy Tank is a water reservoir with lots of trees surrounding it. I was attracted by the sight of the place and I am very sure about lot of people going around the side path of the reservoir.



Walking has become a day to day event in India. Lot run, walk, sit, chat, shout! I was in my t-shirt and night pant and a normal slippers. Why do these people walk? my father always tells me all have some illness or know someone who is ill.

All the life has changed now. My father was healthy enough when he had to take water from well daily to bath and other uses in my old home in Chennai. When the water pump and tap replaced his work and job level changed, he got the B.P and other illness. He admits he should walk daily.

My job never requires physical work except I need to be awake to work. I sit all day in my air conditioned office with no outside air to breath (anyways polluted). I am sure to be attacked with more of these problems if I do not do physical. I was thinking how to make my job a running job. Only idea I got was to get my laptop or computer charged with a cycle dynamo?

I have head a friend say, a guy in early 30s got heart attack due to stress. Wow, that is near. Where am I now?   I realize that I am spoiling my health too by siting on my computer all day long and never move my a**.

Recently, a thought on Yoga made me positive. What is that in it really. I do not know. I am happy to see there are so many who is willing to do Yoga. All because of fear. At least that can help people do something about their health. Parks are getting crowded day by day and new activities start every now and then.

Being healthy is more than what we think. I have very close person to admire and follow. My grandpa does physical exercise daily and keep himself fit. Where else I need to learn from? It is all the willing or the fear that always makes us do something. I do not fear to shake me and do something about. Am I willing?

Morning. Near my home.

How disciplined are you?

I have always observed that each of my day is different. Not because of the different types of task I have but it is related to my attitude. Attitude determines how our day is going to be every time. I am a morning person or more to say, I perform better if I wake up early and sharpen my mind with right thoughts. If I am late to bed the previous night and wake up late, I do not get the time to sit and think on various things I need to do and time to read a book or listen to a talk. I am working from my home for last 2 years now. In fact, I did that few years back too. Having an home office is a blessing and a curse. It is a curse if you do not understand and turn the weakness to your advantage. I work a lot on computers. This means I am have physical activities and less interaction with people face to face. I can sit in bed and work and in my pajamas. No one knows who I am and how I look like. My parents and  friends I know have gone to office to work. I had worked in office s...

Magic Thatha

My old school friend remind me about magic thatha and I started to rewind back my school days. My thatha (gandpa) used to drop me at school everyday his his Made in England cycle. I used to sit in a specially made seat next to handlebar. My school is 10 mins away from my home in cycle. As I do not write notes properly, he used to come to school and write notes from my classmates notebook for me and I will be playing at that time. Well, he started to become student again because of me. He takes down all the notes so that I can read them and pass the exams. He was so optimistic I suppose. My classmate from whom grandpa used to copy the notes, told my class teacher about this in some class and everyone laughed at me. I did not bother much even after that. He is very popular in school and known as magic thatha. Made in England cycle stops daily in nearby tender coconut shop daily and he says the cycle will not move without buying coconut for me. Funny. I am his pet and never s...
