We Indians are prone to some psychological problems. In a span of a single year, we are supposed to undergo through the different kinds of bouts of this problem. These bouts often display our eccentricity of behaviour. One major ’bout’ we undergo through is, of freakishness about “physical fitness.” In this freakishness, we begin to plan about our physical maintenance, in which we plan and ponder to give a good shape to our body. This sort of ’bout’ assails often to people, who have developed fatty waist tiers and their tummy protruding heavily. In this condition, every person experiences a humiliation, when his trouser is not staying constant on his waist and often slips down continuously.
Prior to this ’bout’ of physical fitness, some symptoms in shape of thoughts and second thoughts begin to occur into mind months ago. These thoughts, obviously seem to challenge one’s “will power,” whether one could realize his plan on the ground or not! And on one day, man finds that his will-power is fully ‘active’ and he begins to to give a shape to his wish with his all main and might. Even he prepare himself to invest his hard earned money to realize his this sort of dream. In activating this will power, so many factors may play an important role. As far as my own case in this regard is concerned, I can talk about that.
How and why I activated my physical fitness drive
Though I am unable to describe about other people psychology about their being activated on this front. But regard me, apart from being in possession of waist tiers and big tummy, the another significant factor was my “acute stingy” propensity. In fact, I am a man with such a niggardly disposition, so that my friend circle, behind refer me as “Marvari.” In our India, Marvari class is a renowned business community, acclaimed for their stingy economic management. When my friends happen to denominate me as “Marvari”, this conferment too helps to double my happiness. I take this comment as appreciating me, since they appraise me rightly.
This “Marvari instinct’, how helped to initiate my drive for this ‘evening stroll’, has had a minor incidence behind it. Once what prompted me, even some times I think about this that Devil captured my mind, I happened to invest my some hard money in purchase of a ‘track suit’ and “joggers’ shoes’ without any purpose. The articles you buy without purpose and don’t take them in use, are supposed to categorized as wastage of money. The same occurred with me and the bad feelings of this wastage of money ever nagged my subconscious mind incessantly. The only proper use of those articles was to make them in use by going through an evening stroll.
This feeling, so badly infested my subconscious mind that even I began to find myself jogging in dreams. In dreams, I always found myself properly clad in the same track suit and shoes. The philosophy of the dream says that sometimes dreams are mirror of our unsatisfied wishes. The another nagging phenomenon was, I was swarmed by the feelings of a dreaded loss of ‘track suit and shoes’ being expired without any proper Worldly usage. That simply means, fetching of a substantial economic loss. In true senses, the feelings of this “loss” induced me to go for an evening walk.
Some troubles
Since I had had an old record of many years to leave my bed lately. Truly say, I have forgotten, how a rising Sun looks like now. Yes! In some morning messages on Whats app, I often watch the image, but that all is virtual. After giving long churning of thoughts, I decided to initiate my “stroll” in evening time. Since, I have got a friend circle, hence I decided to seek their advice. When I related to them my planning for evening walk, all they waved their heads in a big “Nay.” I argued with them, why they were giving a big No. As they all knew my niggardly propensity, they unanimously said, “If you walk aimlessly, this may cause a “loss” to you in shape of wastage of sole of your shoes . How can you afford such a big loss?” It was a big query on their behalf, though they mocked in this way upon me.
In response, I proudly intimated them, already I was in possession of a track suit and a pair of jogging shoes. Upon which, they further asked in their query, ” From where you grabbed them?” The term ‘grab” was what kind of mocking indication, I could very well realize that. When I said, ” I bought them with hard cash.” Their reaction was, ” Whether sometimes, you feel yourself undergo through the bout of madness.” Then one friend sagacious friend suggested on the same line, in which I too was thinking, “Yes, yes! You should go on walk, otherwise track suit and shoes may expire without use.”
Horrible pictures drawn
Not only this, one friend tried to dissuade me by projecting a horrific image of evening walk. He mentioned the cases when a person was on evening walk, he was hit by some biker and suffered multiple fractures. Again, he gave details of huge expenditure of medical treatment. But I too had a great rebuttal for this, ready in hand. With a great pride, I made them know, “I don’t reside in a cheap colony like you people. Inside my colony, there is a big park with joggers’ lane. Not only, this park is surrounded by eight feet high walls and even not a bicycle ride is permitted inside. Only people on foot are permitted to stroll inside.” This disclosure was like a bleak news to them and made them mute. Looking at their defeated expression that burnt with jealousy, made me highly elated. This determined my conviction and in fact I initiated my Evening walk from the same day.
