Hey Muscular Hey Popular (2)

Apparently Aamir worked for 13 months in getting this look together... and he also has brought out a video + a guide on how he did it and how, people like me can try and emulate him!

New Year Resolution??

Hey Muscular Hey Popular

Just wondering how the likes of Aamir and Shahrukh are able to produce such bodies in such short periods... Of course we never see the hard work that they inevitably have to put in. Maybe they hold it back to inspire oohs and aahs in us when they unveil it... and maybe the hard work they put in is just not what we want to see.

What I am wondering is this: If I worked really hard for 6 months, can I have a body like that of Aamir? I mean naturally, without steroids or other stuff which would strictly be not-recommended by doctors.

Google is not everything!

Common sense counts for a lot more, even while looking for something on the internet!

And of course, nothing to beat good old word of mouth.

Re 1

A little girl, maybe 10 or 12 years old, on my bus in Delhi was playing music by hammering two flat stones against each other in her right hand using the index finger as a pivot. It was skillful. She was also singing some song in praise of the "mata". More than anything, I was impressed with her use of stones to produce sharp rhythmic beats. As she approached passengers with her left hand out-stretched, I handed her a rupee. There was another voice which accompanied her song. The voice belonged to a much younger girl, maybe around 5 or 6 years old. I had not been able to see the little one in the slightly crowded bus...

Normally, I refuse to pay beggars. I indicate my non-willingness to part with my dear money by a brusque shake of the head. Today, I wondered that I would have liked to record that talent if I had a video camera, and my thoughts moved on to how I should have payed her if I had indeed recorded the performance.

And so I decided to give her a coin from the pocket of my coat. It turned out to be a rupee. A penny for my thoughts...
