"Weight" but please don't watch

Well the tittle of this post gives away the content. I know this problem is faced by a lot of my friends. Wherever you go it's like God is pointing it out to you "YOU ARE FAT". Be it the sexy sirens of bollywood or the average girl next door, they all seem slimmer. Its like the slim are getting slimmer and fat are getting fatter. If the world never cared about how we look why the hell do we have larger than life posters of weight reduction programmes everywhere.

I am proud to say today I am on the healthier side. Yes, not all the pretty dresses fit me; Yes, I don't like asking for "L" sized clothes but atleast I don't feel deprived from food and fun. There is no harm in being a little flabby as long as you do not become obese. The woman body was always imagined as curvaceous NOT linear. Is being thinny skinny really worth it?

Some people are born thin and live thin I do not have any grouse against them because that is how they were made. But I do hate people obsessing over looking stick thin. Though even I go to the gym, I do not go there to be stick thin , I go there to lose the excess and remain healthy. I have understood that God did not want me to be thin and I have made my peace with it.

The funny thing about my life is, I used to be stick thin till I was 14 and then I just grew. I heard so many comments about it that it still makes me cringe. But then I looked at myself at the mirror one day and realise that there was more to me than just my fatty appearance. I have made a promise to myself to be fit and healthy. Even though the Shilpa Shetty body would never be mine, my creativity would never be her's either. Quite a fair deal there.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY: IF GOD HAD MADE EVERYONE ALIKE THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUNDANE PLACE. BE HAPPY WITH YOUR DEFECTS CAUSE THERE IS MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN BEING PERFECT

Here's to life

Cheers

It's a BAD BAD world out there

The moment we get through our 12th Board Exams the first thing that comes into our mind is "SHIT!!! We are gonna go to college, COLLEGE... So cool". If my experience is anything to go by this is the worst illusion one can have. I, much like lot of people I know, was misguided into thinking college was a cool place where you go to to chill and make friends and be grown-ups. All thanks to films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and the other serials and stuff which were nothing but mere mirages.

When I got my 12th marksheet I was elated; a cool 77% (considering the fact I was never a genius, 77% meant a lot), I could get through a GOOD college and lead the GOOD life. I could'nt have been more mistaken. The irony was that even though the colleges were considering best of 4 subjects, which meant my percentage shot up to an 82, I got rejected EVERYWHERE. Reason- my caste, creed, board etc etc ; stuff that Literature or in fact education had nothing to do with.

As I had run out of options I got admitted into one of the lesser known colleges of Kolkata, where my only two consolations were the faculty and the fact that the name of the college would not be mentioned on my degree.

For me the biggest issue was adjusting. Something that took me 2 years. So by the time i adjusted it was the time to leave. The adjustment problem was mainly due the environment. I mean with all due respect, I never knew girls could get so catty. That is something one does'nt realise in co-ed schools. I faced some serious problems but now (touchwood) things are better. Transition is tough but to accept the changes it brings along is far tougher.

As I get by each day hoping to get through quicker, I discovered that college was never cool. It was just a rude medley of the life to come. College will give you one of the worst experiences of your life but if you're lucky enough you will find moments to last you a lifetime. As for me I got a bit of both. The ratio..umm...read this and take a guess.

Until Then

Keep Living :)

A G.R.P topper... My Life

Well to start things out Life is not just about issues that require sleepless, sweaty and restless nights. At the end of the day when I sit back and analyse the events of the day I see that God loves watching me getting into uncomfortable situations and find my way through it... Much like in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for instance. I mean obviously I neither know people like any of them nor do I live with 5 of my friends in a Manhattan apartment; but my point is everybody's life is like a serial to God... While mine belongs to the category of sitcom there are other categories as well.

Thinking deeply about it I came up with a term G.R.P. Much like T.R.P, G.R.P God's Rating Protocol. Even God has a opinion about lives. Some which he feels are boring, he makes those lives event-less and mundane. As for my life its a G.R.P topper. God's so entertained by my life that he keeps on making it more and more eventful every passing second. Why my life belongs to the comedy genre is a matter of perception. But really when I ;look back at life i'm either laughing or ... no i'm only laughing.

Everything in my life takes a really weird course. First, stuff happen then when i look closer I see the tag of 'TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY' and BANG the situation gets out of hand. As i keep posting you would realise exactly why I call my life a comedy,

Till then

Happy Living :)
