Row your life !!!

Yesterday, I was at Gym after 3 days of break. Having done my thread mill, I came to Rowing machine. For me, this is the perfect machine which tests your stamina (My favourite too). For the first time, I thought of testing my stamina and keep track of personal best in meters covered. It wasn't a bad idea to check my endurance and stamina level. I began slowly and selected 30 minutes workout level. Thinking to do something like this requires no skills and focus. However, to complete this you need to be focussed at least for next 30 Minutes. There were millions of thoughts and ideas about everything in my mind. Then I committed not to focus on anything other than my rowing for next half an hour.


With my music on, there was no challenge till I complete my 20 minutes. The last 10 minutes tested all my motivation and true commitment to complete it. Pain in muscle and sweat were started to aggravate when I crossed 23rd minute. I closed my eyes and focussed only on the remaining minutes and rowing. It was truly a testing moment of mine which can be remembered at any point in time. Finally, I made it. In 30 minutes I have covered 5271 meters in distance. I noted down this as my personal best. There is always a next day and next personal best. Let me try my next personal best. 'Focus is everything in your life' - the lesson I learnt. With focus, you can row better in your life.

Back Home at Leeds

Image
Having traveled for several days altogether coming back to home is like finishing the last lap and taking the podium. Standing on the podium without the race is meaningless. On Oct 29th, I started from Leeds and reached Wembley. From Wembley, toured to Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France. On Oct 7th, back to London finished the European tour. However, my personal adventure continued further to Hatfield as I had asked to move there right from the tour on next day. With the same Euro trip luggage been through the ups and downs of London underground station and found my way to Hatfield at the Odd midnight hours. Again luxury stays at the hotel as in the Euro trip, but I didn't enjoy much as I had to be alone in the hotel room. I did 101 ways to kill the time in the hotel room all alone without the internet and with boring documentary channels. I started my day with proper English breakfast to keep myself energetic without any other food. Ate a lot of breakfast to sustain

Just about my Sister on her Birthday!

Image
My best constant childhood enemy at home Till I realise, what is fondness and care? A truly opposite charisma Yet, we share the same blood. Very lately, understood in my childhood Having sister is lovely and great. I understood this only when we came off from home Not in the TV remote combat in the home. More than a mother She knows me A Second mother. Here, I am not too emotional :-) Still, I remember blazing colour shirts And, dazzling ideas which she has given to me. I didn't express myself as a brother thoroughly. This doesn't happen anymore from now on. Successful or not, White or dark, Here or there, This way or that way, One thing never changes. "She is my sweet sister" I wish joy, love, and cheerfulness to be with her forever. :-) Penned down this on My Sister's Birthday. Just to show how I kept her in my heart which I have never shown her before.

How does love work in this Planet?

Recent studies say Indians are happiest people in this world. The relationship is the top reason for the happiness of Indians. The ultimate business of all the human beings in this world is Well being. Keeping a good relationship with others and self is key to being a good being. The relationship is a too vague topic for everyone. Without this, there is nothing in this world. The moment we born in this world we are bound to have relationships. For this relationship to grow and give the fruit, Love is the root. When we do everything with love, there is nothing in this world which stops you. If you see the fundas of this planet, you would be amazed to know how love works here. What I am calling as love is without expecting anything in return just give yourself 100%. Simple tree in your street (which is most neglected) expects nothing but simply be there and does an amazing job. Does it expect anything from you? No.. There is one more friend who is the most important person for every
