Feel Good Factor

Today I joined a Gym near to my residence . I had been contemplating a while at this option for quite some time but I was always thinking that I can workout on my own and avoided going to Gym.One of my new year resolution is that I will start running for 5 kms a day but I was finding it tough to achieve even 2 kms a day target plus I could feel my waistline getting bigger and unhealthy looking at mirror thats when I decided its enough of self controlled mechanism and let me look for a foreign factor to influence my workout . This is how it happened and luckily there was a new Gym opened near to my place so both the things worked quite in tandem for me to resist joining it .
I went there around 9 AM in the morning and I did all the exercise mainly for the lower part of the body as they involved walking and running on the walker for a period of around 15 mins covering a distance of 1.6 kms approx followed by cycling and another exercise for legs (I dont know the machine name :( ) . The person asked me to do a few exercise of for the ever expanding waist line and that was the toughest part of all the exercise I did today .... at a point I thought that trainer should call it a day as I was getting exhausted ..and luckily he did so after few minutes.....and I was bit relived .It was really a good begining to sunday morning as I really felt better after attending the gym session today and somehow had a feeling of inner happiness which made me to write ths post .... I hope to continue this feel good factor and wish it doesnt dry up soon :)

Spirituality and Me !

Today I had to attend a Sunderkand Path at my Maternal Uncle's house and I was feeling bit awkard and tizzy as honestly speaking with no disrespect to God I am just not comfortable attending religious functions where one needs to listen to chants and rhymes of holy mantras when at the deep of my hurt I know I am not understanding anything what is being said . The worst part for me came when I was supposed to read the book of sunderkand in chorus and I was just chanting without really understand anything out of it . To me it was like the famous hindi proverb "Kala Achar Bhains Baraber " being truly visualized in front of my eyes .
This is the feeling which is being echoed by lot of people from current generation and I am not sure if it would be wrong to say the feeling of Indian and religious sentiments is slowly dying and being taken over more by probably more simpler and easier to understand western culture . If this trend really continues I dont know what my children would learn from me when i am finding it tough to absorb what my parents tried to teach me .
