To excercise or to not excercise !

I wake up every morning listening to the laughters in the neighbouring park. Yes, there's a laughter club where a lot of old people and quite a few middle aged people also come and laugh every morning. I found the concept very amusing initially. Then I stopped getting amused by it. Just accepted it as one of those innumerable inexplicable things in life !

Then begins the struggle of making choices. From the below list I need to chose a few and plan a chronological sequence of the activities ! What a pain !
1. Take a jog in the park
2. Do some yoga that'll improve my body and mind
3. Or is it too late for all these coz I've got to rush to office ?

I postpone the decision making moment because my body needs to release all its waste ! Okay I can make the decision while I crap.

Now where is the newspaper? How can I not make use of the time to catch up what's happening in the world ? Okay there it is ! :-) Now I can go in for a crap.

Okay I can now pull myself to wear the running shoes and go to the park. I start my run .. it's a little funny watching the same people go round and round and round in the same park endlessly. I sweat it out and feel good about the excercise. Prbably next year, I can complete the Bangalore marathon.

But the day I've described above is a good day! A bday day begins the previous night. A stupid party with a bunch of drunk blokes ..coversations leading nowhere and yet everyone's laughing their ass out :-( .. that's the beginning of a bad next day.

There are other days that begin - well begin much after it has begun for others. Then I sleep sleep and sleep on that I could make sleeping beauty feel ashamed !

A certain other types of days - the yoga days. Wake up and do a quick round of asanas and surya namaskar! And the hurdles in that - just when you are all set for surya namaskar the servant maid rings the bell. And she needs to clea the room. Cleanliness after all is next to Godliness :-). Another excuse not to excercise.

Other types of days when you decide that evening's the time for excercise. Then the evening you end up in the gym. But there's always a shortage of oxygen in all the gyms :-( .. Can't seem to run beyond 20 min on the tread mill. When will I run the marathon ? Booh ...
