It was February 2009 I guess, when a friend of mine and I decided to go jogging and reduce the extra layer of cakes, ice creams, basundi's on our body. It was unanimously decided that the morning would be an impossibility and so mission impossible would be kicked off at evening time, till it became a habit. (Quite some time has passed till now and I must tell you it's still not become a habit). However this story does not concern how we lost weght or did not but is primarily focussed on how people react when they see two fat men trying to do what they should have done much earlier. For the record that friend of mine is Ams. Here it goes:
Our regular path was essentially from the way behind the hostel till sector 16. For readers who are unaware of how this path of ours is, this is a little road map. The total way can be divided into three parts starting with the sweat stinking crowded "sabzi mandi" to the "main road" where deaths and trucks are frequent visitors and finally to the more calm and gently populated human disgust of "sector 16". Since the time Ams and I started jogging, I have seen some of the world's most sad faces light up. Sitting in the dark, GNLU couples notice this event on a very frequent basis. We sometimes hear "Bahut Sahi aur Bhago moton" from people whose value in the human market would not even be a rupee. At our end, initially it started with disgust, anger and shame but eventually it was just a gradual wait till someone would come and pass a nasty smile. Its been six months now and this feeling has not dipped a bit as we aren't growing slimmer and they aren't getting better. The funniest are those good for nothing boys sitting besides trees who neither have eductation nor physical power nor any sex appeal to drive people towards them. We see a new bunch of them laughing at us everyday and wonder whatever happened to India's production capabilities that such great number fools have ended up making their existence felt. But however, I would not stop jogging because they are laughing. May be it is a way in which i can contribute to the society and make people happy. For this purpose I have decided on a category of people who laugh on us and I wish to please.
1. Badly beaten Husbands
2. Good For Nothing Boys
3. Good Looking girls who think we are making the effort and in a hope that one day they will tag along for jogging.
4.People who think fat men can't run.
5.Couples-and tell them that we will be jogging around so don't think the road can get lonely for long.
On a more serious note, fat people who feel ashamed of people laughing should understand that the shame can be the driving force, and more particularly, "Dude jab kha kha ke mote ho gaye tab sharam nahin aayai toh ab kyun"
Different things in the world are funny at different times but seeing two fat men jogging will be funny all the times.
