To be OR not to be ….. to believe OR not… is the Question ? – The Curse !!

 To be OR not to be ….. to believe OR not… is the Question ? – The Curse !!

Today I am bringing a topic that would certainly create a discussion – some favoring it and some against it.  I have been famous of de-famous in revealing all the moments that I enjoy, live and by sharing them with people, try to double the joy.  Its said Sharing is Caring – there are thousands of quotes that would prove this.  Great satisfaction comes from sharing with others.  I always believed this and kept on moving ahead on path of writing. 

On the contrary, I was always countered and had to undergo tremendous oppose to the sharing – they are all my close knit well wishes and TRUE care takers of me.  The thought that they always express is it necessary to share!! (?) I have been always overruling all those thoughts and neglected and made fun of it.  

Slowly I have also developed the similar thought within and started thinking internally – am I doing it right by sharing? will it be received well by everyone?  Would people really take it in the spirit I am carrying or spreading through the write up ? a series of questions have started populating in the tiny brain already flooded with so many mixed thoughts and started disturbing the flow.  I think when am writing this they all are excited and keen to come out and bounce here on the write up and will relieve some place there for good thoughts to come in.

I know its all going vague and I need to bring in perfect context to what am saying above – lets go back to year 2013 – where in a plump, fat round shaped body I took to the weighing balance in my company stores and to my surprise I weighed 83 kg… by that time signs have already started not able to bend fully, lazy approaches, even to get a spectacle nearby I used to call someone and ask for it.  My inner waves were shaken by this number of the display and I thought of doing something serious.  Very next day joined Gym  with a fitness trainer and a successful journey of fitness, weight reduction started. After achieving my target of ~ 18 kg loss was achieved.  Started following other gym mates and kept it continue till 2017 – a consistent journey.  Then have started putting my status, photographs, marathon photographs and was lost in that glamour and felt soothing in that layer of self-happiness and motivating others to do so.  By that time have also made so many followers who could also walk successfully on the path and shown results.  One sudden day I have been transferred to Hyderabad and the real CURSE to my sharing happened.  I kept on continuing my walking, some work outs in office, but all that was irregular due to weekly travel to Pune, extended role and additional responsibilities in office, improper food that I used to get their in PG – all that contributed to move me slowly on the same figure that I was in 2013 – not fully though but little closer to it.  I still keep it tight not to go there or cross that. 

Though my office had a treadmill and a spinning facility – probably I was the only fellow doing it very regularly – ofcourse after office hours – late evenings starting 8 pm to 9 pm and so on.  On Sunday or early hours of the day ~ 6 am to 7 am.  But I still had to push the tummy outside post workout to click the selfie or request someone to take my photograph to put on FB or to my statuses. Completely unaware of the shape that was going out of control I kept on doing that.  It could have helped me maintain the old status quo OR at least a moderate change … but CURSE – this is like blaming to it safely – it all was not supporting me well to achieve OR maintain the same status quo as I did 2013-2017. So I was referred to my care takers, well-wishers comments that they made and I used to pacify, justify it by not believing it.  

This kept on happening up and down, sometimes cycling, surya namaskars,  yoga, jogging but believe me I was never able to achieve the results. In Covid – came back to Pune and now had all that is supporting me to do so and was walking on the path.  Covid hit and post covid completely one year I was finding difficult to Run as was getting breathless quickly and had to stop run.  Have started winning over it by practicing Yoga, Pranayam and getting a positive success.  My jogging distance was increasing from 5 kms to 7 to 8 to 10 etc… I again started posting them and I got a job in Karnataka and a CURSE again forced me to stop all that.  Met with a small road accident (NOT TO WORRY – it was too small an incidence where in knee was paining for a long time) in the middle with knee injury which stopped it for 3 to 4 months … am still struggling to move successfully on the path.

I left all that behind and started enjoying my bachelor life at Saidapur (refer my earlier article) a small beautiful place, blessed with nature and good lovable colleagues around we all have started enjoying life.  Getting together, cooking sumptuous food and enjoying the pure veg hot food.  This process could not stop me posting the photos and sharing the same with all my friends, families and colleagues. Here again all my strong threads have warned me to stop and by the time I implement this practice.. so many people during events, meetings started commenting that .. wow.. you are enjoying the bachelor life, what a variety of items you are enjoying every day.... Majja hai and all that…. Believe it or not due to various professional reasons this all stopped… heavy work load at office, frequent travel etc. this all stopped and we are now not able to get together, cook together and eat healthy food together.  I am not elaborating it as my article had all the fun that we have had. 

So the question to be or not to be -  to believe OR not…. But there are over 100s of such experiences I can share and then your thought process changes, you start thinking other way, you change your way of life – why such external forces play a role in our own life and change the things – I am surprised. 

Yes, curse can ruin the person life to any extend depending upon the curse that he gets…

Curse is extremely harmful for the spiritual wellbeing of a person.

Just a food for thought….  I am all OK, good enjoying life as usual…. But wanted to bring this to a discussion…. 

Enjoy yourself and let others enjoy… No curse please
