New Year's Day ( part I )

Before I start , I'd like to wish all the bloggers a very happy and prosperous year ahead ! :) New year's day is always special for chennaites . The beaches start filling up rite from dusk the previous day. People suddenly remember their gods . Temples and churches are open 24*7 ( im not aware of how the mosques prepare on new years' day ) , and the crowd just seems to be endless .

For the first time in all years , I was at Elliots on 31st evening ! At first sight it semed to be a very Low - key celebrations . It was 6 in the evening , and you could literally count the number of heads in the surroundings . " Never was the beach stretch so isolated " i felt . I was proved wrong . In not more than half an hour's time , one could see bikers 'Vroooom' in . The parking lots filled up . The regulars to the beach had made it too . And all of a sudden , Elliots showed off its pride :) Along with few of my "jigiri thosths" , I started to Lap around the beach road . It was nothing "outta the world" actually , 'cos its really very common at bessie . But the very fact that it was hours before new year , made it so very special .

Happy families , relaxed thathas , excited children and charged up youths . . . you could see people of almost all the generations out there . Its a very nice feeling to see people with broad smiles wishing and greeting you . Admiring all this , I forgot to check the time ! It was 8.30 exact and i was late to get back home . My " jigiris" wanted me to stay back for some more laps , but mom had told me " No bessie business after 9 " . And she is quite " strictu . . strictu . . strictu . . " ( hope you heard the echos clear ) , when it comes to me hanging out in the evenings . Half - hartedly . . I said a NO to their offer and bid them Good Night .

I walked back half the way and took home a bus then . By that time it was almost " house - full "
I could see many familiar faces but I was eyeing to get back home B4 my mom decides to screw me up . " Hmmm . . all set for '09 " i thought to myself and started pushing ahead as i crossed the Cops who were there to enforce security measures . At around 9.30 i was home and my mom was all happy that I dint stay back till midnight , that she forgot I was late .

The 6 pack syndrome . . .

Finally , ghajini has hit the theatres , and the gals have started going 'gaga' over aamir's packs . ( wel ! im as usual going 'GagAga' over asin :p :p :p ) Its now Aamir's turn to make a few eyeballs pop , and he has done it with elan . Though im not a keen follower of Bollywood movies , Aamir has always been rite at the top of my Favs list :) geting back to the packs . . . ther is a big list which includes ppl lik Bruce Lee , Arnold , Stallone , Van Damme , Salman , Sharuk , Surya and now Aamir ( these re the ones whose packs i have noticed ) who have tightened their abs to shrink many hearts . This six pack phenomenon has reached its peak nowadays and aamir has been the tip of the glacier . So many gyms have cropped up . . . so many ppl . . . young and old invariably have started to sweat it out , to get a stunning physique . . . apdi enathaan iruku antha padi kattla ( 6 packs . . . i mean ) . . . ?

After Aamir released his "behind the make over" video , i wanted to know badly wat it takes to get somethin like that . I consulted few of my frenz who are "Gym bods" . "Hey dude , lie down flat and start crunching yaar . . . do 10 sets each containing 10 crunches . increase the number everyday and im sure it ll work . " said one . Another frend of mine was even more weird in wat he said , " machi ! start squatting da " . . . I was like start wat . . . ??? "squ...a..tt..ing" he said slowly. It took me some time to realise that its nothing but sitting and standing up in complex stances to tighten and lighten yur thighs , called i this weird way . Enna koduma sir ithu . . . :D

The very next day , I got up early in the morning ( pls note : get'n up is not a big deal , cos i get up to download torrents lik any other BSNL Home plan users ) with aspirations to shed of the flesh . I strongly ( wrongly! rather . . ) had a belief that , two or three days of training is wat it ll tak to get in to shape . I started dancing like Mr.Bhagyaraj ( technically speaking . . warming up ) :p Once when i felt my limbs had loosened enough , i started doing the crunches . I was asked to do 10 sets of ten each . . after 4 in the first set . . i was lik "O#*+@ ! . . . namala mudiyathu . I quit my crunches then and there and started my nikkal kunthal ( its the same game yur siblings play at iskool ) . . . naanum easy thaan nu nambi aarambichen . . . hardly six and thats it . . i was lying flat holding my legs ! ouch . . . it pains . . . :*

" Aamir and surya do it for money idiot " , i said to myself . I opened the fridge took a bar of 5star and started to bite ( its my resort for al emotions ) and realised " ithu aavarthukkilla" .
I dnt have a gal , so that i hear a mind voice " azhage oru mayam " and i start pumping . The only mind voice i have now is " vidra machan ! " Im contend with the single ( so called ) pack i have :p
