Jogger's Park

To all the junk food and lazy lifetsyle and too much stress at ISB, i have bid good bye. :) Since i am out of ISB, i am only working on changing it completely. So, starts with jogging, then some exercises, then aerobics DVDs at time and then the cereal time and all that goes into my body is healthy. Has to be fruits, boiled vegetables or the vegetable juice. I read somewhere tomato juice makes your cheeks look like tomotaoes, so that gets added, then i read green vegetables are good for skin, that gets added, so i have this huge healthy diet and ideally i should have been turned into Cindrella by now, but then since i already am one (ahmm.. ), there isnt much change. :D
So, today i was tired after jogging and thought i will sit and watch the world go by. This was interesting and i totally enjoyed it.
Here are some funny things i noticed:
a) Rich aunties will come to park in big cars with ipod on ears and still run with another aunty and talk. Dont ask me why. I dont know either. Lets not even discuss the speed at which they walk.
b) Some boys will change their direction of running based on the girl they find interesting. Well the girl niether looks at them, nor talks to them, but then it dsnt matter. By the end of the day the jog had a focus. :D
c) Old uncle ji will always come with a stick in hand and shoo off the dogs even if it means finding them from deep grass. If there is a stick, there has to be some use.
d) There is always a lean and thin fitness freak who will run like there is no tomorrow. Someone needs to tell him/her that he/she needs something on body to look human. But then he is the fastest runner in the park and his waist line will give complex to Kareena Kapoor.
e) There are two dogs who ensure that everyone runs at fast pace. They come out to scare the woman who scream at their look as if dogs are something new in India.
f) This one is cute, there is an old uncle and an old aunty and a doggie and i love them, i like uncle and aunty a lot, they love me too. They are the best of the lot. Today they were particularly happy because their child is back from US for sometime and uncle told me that he has so much to do for next 15 days. I feel good for him. Its sad that people leave their parents and go, i think its better to have a dog than have such kids who come for 15 days and disturb their parents' otherwise happy rountine. Dont raise hopes which you can not fulfill. I know he will be very sad once his son is gone and then we will come to park and sit in one corner thinking about last 15 days. Anyway Uncle, we will sort it once the idiot is gone. :)
g) There is a huge, tall and strong girl who is from a village in Haryana and is now training in Police. I so admire her, she is just one of her kinds. So, there is this guy who changed his direction to run after her and unlike most of the girls who ignore this, she turned and took it heads on. "Kyun be!! Bahut style maar raha hai, chal thane mein band karun. :D"
h) There is a gang of 10 old uncles who have formed a laughter club and who laugh like there is no tomorrow. They wear tight shorts and white caps and i know they are just happy. This is their way of networking at this age.
i) Alright, here's something interesting. There are some real dudes who come for jog. Now, these are people i kind of know, cant help ( remember, i like good things in life. :)). So, some of us are good friends now. Most of us are MBAs and at times its fun to discuss life and market. Though one in particular puts too much gyaan on pace of running and hours of running, but most of us are just running. :)
j) Last but not least, some people ARE non sense like me. When they get tired, they just watch the world go by and have fun. I am sure people must have hated me for it. But then.. :D

Keep it coming Jogger's Park!!
