The Gr8 Indian Workout

Today morning , I had one of the unforgettable workouts in my life. Usually workout done by individuals, but today I did along with 70 odd people. Imagine, you as a single person doing all those running, jogging, lifting, cycling, biceps, triceps building and all those punny (funny) things as though you are going to become Arnold the next day. You watch the boys working out around you and they try to lift the unthinkable weights, until the previous day, when they see our own traditional girls coming in right fits. You also watch how girls project themselves as extremely self conscious, only after they step in to gym. And all these hoopla things got vanished in today's workout. The entire bunch of people are in right fits and the wonderful thing is that we never tried to do anything ourselves. The machine on which we did our workout did everything for us.

Few people would agree that all those sweat-drenching workouts could be replaced with Yogasanas. People who do asanas know, that only few postures (asanas) will stretch and relax all the 23,000 nadis (some yogic terminlology) in our body. But in today's session, that machine with the help of a trainer, everyone stretched all the possible nadis & vadis in our bodies. Amazingly everyone felt complete relaxation after that numerous stretchings, twistings, pullings and pushings. Few of us got 180 degree twist that ensured life time free of constipation. See, single session, so much effect!!

Usually, while doing workout, the person's entire mass with the speed acts as momentum. If I am not wrong momentum of one person has = mass of that person x velocity with he/she does workout (speed). In today's workout, the complex forces like gravitational, frictional and pseudo forces came into the effect. This scenario is well worth of giving as a question in physics paper of IIT-JEE. Some times, the forces are so complex, they cannot be measured. Some forces repel you away from other person, not because of principle of magnetism, but because of the chemical principle (formula) of the deodorant used by other person around him/her.

So complex the forces are, exerted by the people, but the trainer was at ease as ever. He controlled the machine which produced so many intricate forces, which you can't even name them.

The machine I am talking about is a bus plying in Chennai as route no 21H. The bus was jam packed with humans, animals, agriculture things, radios & faces full of sweat. The main cause for this is, the bus (in that route) was plying irregularly this morning, for the God's sake, I got into it. Ironically, this route number bus (21 H - between parrys corner and kelambakam) has the highest frequency of operation among the city buses!!!

Finally, I got an answer for a long time unanswered question that how do Indians have higher immunity power. This is because due to the gr8 Indian workout like this.

Better you come in that bus daily, so that you will get all the strechings and twistings without any effort!!!

Best thingy would be to bunk work if you dint catch the bus...
its just not worth it esp when in notice period.

btw 21h is the best bus route in chennai like the revenue it generates it the highest compared to all other routes and also all the superb air buses which TN govt bus are plied first in this route :)
