Why do you workout ?

-
This is the question my trainer asked me today. He rightly pointed out that I still look the same with those jumbo sized love handles. I had hard time explaining him I workout because I want to :
  • Sleep tight
  • Eat what I want to eat
So why should one workout ? to keep good health and enjoy the same, with mouth watering food and cozy bed to sleep on. What you say?

I wrote this poem at a time when I was struggling for answers in my life. These questions are so intricate that it would fail great scholars and most learned of all and no book would talk about it. Then you turn to the supreme being and ask your questions silence comes in reply. You wait and wait more for an answer and then you are agitated and start complaining. Why does he not answer ? This leads to a moment of introspection and a spark arises that make you wonder of  the language to converse with almighty , Its then That I say .... . Talking to you is a problem to me, As I don't know the language of thee, English or Hindi wonder I in silence of me, Do these language pleases you my lee, No! Says the creator of me, Nor do I listen to Hindi or to English, I listen to thy heart beat in silence of me, So let your heart beat from lup-dup lup-dup to love-love love-love.

Could Russian and Venezuelan navy joint exercise, speed-up the slowing world economy.

You may call it hypothesis or upcoming fact. Collectively world war II and Cold war are known for an era when most inventions and innovations materialized. This was the time when money was pumped into various projects, just to keep the name of nation. Classic example would be space exploration. Not only this the same era called for heavy investments into research and development at defense front. Later defense projects found way into civilian life. Isn't computers network result of such project at DoD. Hope Russians splashing water in America's backyard. Would trigger another cold war. That would lead to chain reaction of funding defense, or may be implementation of missile umbrella on America. Thus Americans pumping more money into market which may lead to easy cash availability. This might give an impetus to slowing world economy.

Satisfaction / Ignorant

-
Be satisfied for what you have, but I wonder if one goes by this notion s/he would never strive or struggle to gain. This would result in death of dreams and aspirations which would again diminish sorrow, agony and pain. Thus one would never do Karma because s/he ought to be satisfied , no matter what, when Karma stops their would be no results, and thus the very existance of "being" gets questioned. In contrast to all this if we go by the Bhagwata Gita which says do the Karma dont desire for results , would help us to understand "Be Satisfied" i.e do your best to achive and dont desire for results. This again brings us to a round about situation, why should I do Karma if I dont know what would be its outcome. Again Bhagwata Gita gives answer , if we do the karma with the belief of not being the doer, then what so ever be the out come (favourable / unfavourable) let it be offered at the lotus feet ( Samarpan ), when I imagine of this state I fe...
