Yoga is the latest addition to my shameful list of “attempts at losing weight”…but I’ve decided I like practicing yoga…apart from increasing flexibility (I’m secretly hoping this increased flexibility will come in handy later on in life ;) it helps me sleep like a baby in the night…
The timing of my class is a bitch though…Its at 6 in the morning, which requires me to be up by 5:45 am latest! I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination…I only begin to thaw and become my usual chirpy self by 8:30am or so…Till then I have this “Fuck Off” look stamped on my head which causes everyone including my parents to stay away!
So recently, this new chick joined my class…and yesterday morning I happened to ask her something about the previous day’s class, when she called me ‘AUNTY’!!!!
Imagine, one 20 somethin college going girl callin ME, aunty! The nerve…and my intention here is not to be mean…..but not only is she fatter than me…..but also way more dowdy lookin with oiled hair and those nighty like t-shirts and ugly, ill fitting track pants…
Anyhoo, I had the last laugh, literally!
While doing one aasana, which is particularly gas inducing, I guess the girl forgot to clench her butt cheeks and she let a loud one rip! Normally, when someone farts in class I’m polite and just privately smile to myself….but since I was peeved with her,…I guffawed loud enough for her to hear....and more importantly let her know that I heard!
Serves her right for calling me aunty! hmmmpppphhh!

There was this girl in my office, she used to say excuse me whenever she farted. And she used to sneeze and hiccup at the same time as farting. Triple combo= Death to colleagues.
Yoga is good, but unless you sweat you can't lose the fat :)
Cheers!
N
@nothingman - lol..tripple combo it sure is...though im not quite clear as to how one can sneeze and hiccup at the same time...
and dont u just love it when ppl give unsolicited advice :P
pls continue with yoga - you will to get over childish trivilaities like guffawing at other aunties. you will learn to relaaaax. you will become a morning person...
inhaaaale...exhalllle....
and it does clear a blocked nose and makes you more fleixble for lots of things...but pls also ensure you flexibility target also tries yoga...else its only half fun :P

@trauma - what all will i check for macha...distance between thumb and index finger, elbow colour patch, knowledge of yoga :) but yeah...i catch ur drift!
@ninja - got nothin interestin to write abt..i unlike u lead a very dull life!
@ram - thanks macha
@adi - i wouldnt call me mean..just obnoxiously petty! :)
@srk - danke danke...and if ever i was to judge someone by his writing..im pretty sure id be in love with you :)
The only asana I was ever good at was the savasana, the one where you just lie down and rest!
(I spent a long time doing that much to the displeasure of the teacher)
:D
Was it Savasana - corpse stance, where one is to relax every muscle in their body?
Paavom the girl - I hope there were no men in audible range.
@vivek - well...in my books savasana is as important an aasana as any of the others..its important one cools down right :)
@idling - naaah...id be worried if one has to clench their butt cheeks when lying in corpse mode...it was the dhanurasan aasana...where u lie on ur stomach, lift ur legs, hold ur ankles and rock on ur stomach...all the while remembering to hold it in!!
and what paavam..nonsense..who's side are u on??? u read my blog not hers!! :P and there are mamas...but i dont think they mind...they kusu loudly all the time :)
1. Quite surprised you let the girl get away with a laugh! ;-) Guess the timing would have been perfect!
2. Trust me, yoga works if you are on a diet as well. No use gobbling up in one end trying to loose in the other!! Cut down the carbs - rice especially. Go green! Managed to lose 10 kgs in 3 months along with yoga and ever since there has been no looking back.
