It is all about commitments : That is how I built my physic



Sometimes we face such a situation which we never dreamed at all. And sometimes we want to do something good for us or others. But system will not cooperate with us. And many times though we are capable of doing some good stuff, but due to some reasons we end up with by not doing it.

It is an year back, marriage plans were going on. but most of the people started telling me that I'm thin, and looks like school student and many more weird comments. And lot of people suggested me both good and bad ideas to become healthy or fat !! including, eating non veg, drink beer, go to gym and  many others. Then I started surfing in net and concluded that should eat more protein and fibre food, and then do workout for healthy look.



After some days I thought of going to Gym, I remember it was in the evening 6 pm I had been to nearby Gym for joining. There were many people who were heavily working out with dumbbells and other instruments. Felt happy that, one day I'll become like these guys if I join the Gym. I met the instructor at the reception. I told him that I want to join Gym and what is the procedure. He replied, this is costly gym and here only classed people comes. And he added that you are very thin. And he was mentioning that if I join I should pay him regularly.I told it is okay and came back. He might have thought that I'm student and I can't pay him.

The same night I surfed in internet regarding the Gym instrument prices. And I come up with basic list. And decided to buy them! Next day I went to sports shop and bought all the required stuff. And downloaded all the required videos from the net. Within one week I was able to get fair idea on how to proceed. Since being scoliosis patient I was worried about other side effects.

The project 'Swasth Bharat' started!! first day did small warm up only, then second day did some dumbbell works and so on, one by one started. From that day till now I'm doing daily half an hour to one hour. At least 4 days in a week I'm able to do. My aim was not to become body builder, Just I wanted to become healthy and fit person. Then after few months I was simply standing in front of mirror, I was literally shocked with my curved muscles and 6 packs!!! And that day there was no end to my happiness :) that day I felt like going to that Gym guy to show my 6 packs, but did not go, I don't know why.

After some days I got more interest in working out and playing to stay fit and healthy. Started swimming twice in a week. And after some days I was able to get 8 packs naturally and without any much effort. One day I met the same gym guy in swimming pool , literally he was shocked seeing my built  and asked me that what I do for living, I replied It has been more than 6 years I'm working for MNCs. That time he felt very bad. He asked me how I'm able to do so, I explained him all. And then he invited me to his gym saying that, we are looking for trainers ;)!!! As usual I told no, since that is not my business :)

Giving opportunity to needy persons : My badminton story

In one sense all are freshers and starters. Until unless someone provide us opportunity to explore or learn we will not go forward. But in the same sense once we reach some position we should be able to give chance for starters or initiators. Be it be education, be it be job, learning new things, sports, driving or be it be any other works.

It has been more than a year I started playing badminton daily. Before getting membership to the badminton club I waited for 2 months and I went there more than 10 times to beg for membership. Finally I got admission to the badminton club. It was my first day I went with non-marking shoes and with sports wear. And I went early at 4pm. Others started coming at 4.30. I was like asking each person to play with me. But none of them were interested since I was beginner. That day I could not play since no one gave me chance to play with them. I did  warm up and came back. 2nd day I went there with some hopes, but no luck.Again I came back by not playing. 3rd day I requested a senior person he strictly told 'NO' with arrogance. I told  him 'fine no problem'.  


The same day I saw a school kid was playing alone. I asked him can we play. He was happy and beginner too :) then we both played little bit and went back. I did not have feeling that I was playing with school kid. For few days we started playing together and his mother was happy, since I would able to teach him few shots in the sport. After some days we both picked up very well. And meanwhile many school kids started joining us. It was fun with them. I played for 3 months with them. And whoever joins newly I use to play with them and teach them.


One day the same senior person who told me No, was sitting alone since his partner did not come that day. I was playing with these kids. after sometime he called me saying that can you play with me today? I was shocked and replied yes with big smile:)  That day fortunately or unfortunately he lost all 3 games. though I did not wanted to win over him. Then after that whenever his partner is not there he use to call me for playing. And Yesterday he asked me to play with him regularly!!! I told sorry sir, I do enjoy in playing with middle level players and with beginners. But I'll play with you whenever your partner is not there.


I should be thankful to those school kids who gave me chance to play with them :) and I still continue to play with beginners :) may be I dont want to become a champion by playing with good players. I just want to play for fun and maintain my health. And now a days if anyone joins and if he asks other players to play with him, they say that may be 'Chetan will play with you' ;)
