Lockdown #1: Learning


Surya Namaskar!!🌞 

As the lockdown started, I have been lazing around and relaxed a month assuming things will be normal soon .. so no workout for a month and lazily waiting for the day to hit the gym.. Uhmmm… Lockdown is stretching out.. ☹ and my laziness too..!

 Work out in a day is must for me and I feel complete when I complete 1 hr. workout on the day. Hence, started figuring out a way to get back to my workout routine at home itself.🤔

 Work out, for me is not only stretching body or toning… It helps to stress free and makes me feel alive! And of course it is challenges me every now n than and makes me feel proud when I do better than yesterday!😎

 On the searching process , I stopped by the  cult-fit app and its online class!

 I did try few free style dance class before settling out with yoga , but somehow I could not match their energy level and did not impress me too.. Uhmm.. !!😜

 Yoga classes are very interesting, it had the pace that I can fit in and has the challenge that always pulled me towards it. i.e flexible!!  😍

Class structure is of Warm up, Suryanamaskar (shivanada style) , following few asanas to make core strengthening , hip opener etc , cooling asana and finally yoga nidhra (my fav. Part.. 😍)

When I started yoga, it was not easy.. I could not complete one online class completely .. To do perfect "Plank to Ashtanga Namaskara" I took almost 1.5 months by breaking hand! and ‘Parvatasana’ to ‘Ashwa Sanchalanasana/ still a challenge.. shortcut still.. :-)

                                          

But as the day passed, with the regular practice my body is back to flexible and my stamina also improved. Now I can do 24 rounds of suryanamaskar on a single shot..

Is work out part of day to life? if so, what is your fav. version? Add in comment..👀


Meet you in next blog..😇

    Oh yeah! I have the same feeling when it comes to work outs! I feel like I can do a lot more during the day when I finish that work out quota, but I do prefer fresh air over indoor workouts! Biking's been a recent fav!

A Telescopic view of API

  From a Business Analyst- Telescopic View to API The development/technical folks tell you a few words all day and the words register, echo… There is more than one way to deal with that Ignore the echo and start using the words like a pro; beyond that word, you would not have any idea about it.

All gold..

 As part of my job, I get to embrace a lot of gold chains/bracelets/rings /earrings, and being a woman, the temptations are real, to wear and own it. These desires grew stronger day by day, which landed me in a spot through the receptionist, where there is no camera coverage and with a deal that I have to allow her to wear it for a selfie. Well, one is taken care of, the wanting to possess at least a few did not allow me to sleep. I could not afford to buy any one of them because our peanut salary gets invisible into the endless loan, education fees, and all the bills. I did not want to become a gold thief, hence for now decided to sleep over the thought.  Days flew fast as the gossip on my Instagram jewel post. Few thought I won the lottery and interestingly, few assumed that my husband is getting black money in his IT job. Whatever the gossips where, but it made me feel like a celebrity in my neighborhood.  All the unknown faces become known. I got to choose the vegetab...

Impartiality.

  Today  Mythili, “get ready soon. We are late!”. “Why in such a hurry? We have good 30 mins to catch the bus. To be specific, I do not want to wait at the bus stand. The bus stand, that has taken my son’s life. I know something happened there and no one wants to share with me anything”. She sits on the sofa, not wanting to cry but still her tears reveal the pain that she is going through for the last 5 years. Guilty and feeling helpless! Sigh! I am hoping from today the days are going to be better. Suddenly the wreath falls from his photo, acknowledging my hope. His smile and that innocence,  at least once, I want to ask him,  "Am I not a good father?" 5 days back: After my son killed himself, Mythili lost herself in a different world. She stopped sleeping and eating. During those days, my situation was the same as hers. I could not do anything much to take care of her. Once I moved to the office, I managed to divert the pain, but she locked herself in a room and wa...
