Salsa class!

By -
I decided to spruce up my life and what better way I thought, than to get groovy doing the salsa! I also secretly looked at it as an option to meet a lot of new people. Or so I hoped:-( I was in for a rude shock. I entered the UC gym and I see a bunch of desis. What's with us? ARe we the only folks who don't mind making fools of ourselves?
Anyway there were some other folks too and so we did the cha cha 1234 and it was nice. I mean it's not as vigorous as the hip hop intro I took last semester. So I'm sure this is not going to help with the weight department.
Then I keep thinking we have one life, who makes the rules?? And plus I think fat people are so cute. I mean they always seem happy. LIke today the first partner I had was a fat guy. He reminded me of Adnam sami. He said something like "I'm arroyo or some such name". Anyway what I'm trying to say is that he had a really cheerful disposition and that's what mattered!
Back to salsa jig, the instructor was good and there was this one girl who danced damn well. Hopefully six weeks will see a better JLO me!

Fat people are fun :) More of us to loweeeeee ! The fitness freaks and the fat people will anyway die under the same tsunami. Non-smokers will die of passive smoking. Non-alcoholics will get run down by a drunken driver ! Anyway, we're all gonna rot in hell !

Tennis- An ode to my love!

 Intra apartment Tennis Tournament After a gap of nearly 7 years I took part in a tennis tournament at my apartment community in Bangalore. Unlike the younger days when I used to participate in league matches, I was a bit rusty on the tournament front. The funny thing is I do not find many women playing in the community. Hence to have a separate women’s tournament at the community is impossible. Therefore I persuaded my tennis male buddies to allow me to participate in the tournament when the idea was first mooted. They did not need much persuasion as they know I am a certified tennis lover like all of them. This brings an important point, most minorities just want to be treated equally and get a seat at the table. Game,set and match I knew my shot of winning a tournament like this was a long one. There were several disadvantages like weight, an average serve, weak backhand and inability to have a good court coverage. The thing that was going for me was my enthusiasm with the game ...

Errr..Arghhh

School is finishing up and generally emotions are running high. There are a lot of things to do. ON top of all this I have been wondering about the human psyche. The words that come to my mind is the "power game". Some people want to always be at the higher end of the equation. Well it's not possible always. I mean the people who generally make the effort to always keep in touch also loose out sometimes. I mean they're also tired. How many times can they alone keep it going? How much of work all these things are! Is ego everything in life? Or is this some sort of message that others have to read. A really close friend of mine is going thru a rough patch now because she was at the lower end of the equation. I always told her it was fine and you do not have to go by book. She was fed up of the mind games and the moves she had to play. It was like constant game of chess. My sister often gets into these introspective moods and I used to blame her then for over analyzing. ...

Snow, Skis and pain

By -
I signed up for a SKI trip organized by graduate student wing at school because I felt I must do something different. I mean for a person from the tropics getting to do something in snow is bloody exciting. So we left in the morning at 6:45 AM for seven spring ski resort. Though it hasn't snowed for a week at pitt these people kind of preserve the snow with some chemicals and something else. So we entered seven springs and it was really cold. The person from the tropics was of course well equipped. Three layers of sweaters followed by the BIG FAT UGLY red jacket. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do when it's below freezing. So after the initial ski lesson we learnt the basics of sking. Then it was upto us to practics and try stuff. So I skied for about 6 hours yesterday and right now my feet feel like jelly fish and my hand and feet are swollen. The thing about sking is that one needs to learn from your mistake everytime you fall. But me being a slow learner, took...
