As you might have figured out by now, I am concerned about my health and try to do all that I can to preserve it and not let the family history repeat itself. Get paranoid bout thoughts of BP, sugar, acidity, arthritis what not in the years to come. No... no ... I am not a hypochondriac or anything its just that I hope to live with good health as long as I do.

To this end, I end up walking whenever I can at KBR park. I can go on and on about this place coz its nice, neat place where you feel you are caught between the noises of traffic on one side and the nasal-"Whaaackaaw" in falsetto from the dwellers of KBR(in case you didnt get it ..the national bird of India that abound here). Lotsa people, all shapes, sizes and ages flock here for various reasons. Families, friends, solitary joggers, health freaks, wobblers all kinds. Whoever said parks were like lungs to a city hit the nail right on the head. At times I wish we should have more parks mushrooming in the city than restaurants. Maybe they also have a law of calories. .. The sum total of all calories gained and burned is always a constant. :) But as far as I see the calories gained seem to increase in a geometric progression.

And yes my family is also into this walking thing. We do it together and whenever we miss it my mother is more dejected than me. She is hooked. To her credit she does a full circle at her own pace. Cheers to her!! Last week we had to catch up with other errands and by the time we were all done it was like 7:15 pm. We then decided that it wouldnt be a problem if we ventured out at this time coz there was sufficient lighting and stuff.

My friends tell me all sorts of things bout ppl who come there... some wannabe stars and producers and film artistes etc etc who visit there often. I wouldnt know me totally lost on the who's who in Tollywood. They claim that most ladies are chaperoned by their mothers and the actors are stingy so as to not jog inside ....Brushed all their stories aside as roobbish(Boycott style :) )

Was walking up and down and this chap runs up to me calling "Dr Sheela, you must be Dr. Sheela right?" and here is how the conversation took place. Lets call this guy AS (Initials of Arnold Schwazneger, altho I am tempted to add another S there). AS had biceps that looked as if he was pumping iron since he was 2.
'No!'. Of course not! I never ever wanted to become a doctor even if someone offered me a continent.
'Then I must have seen you at a party?'. Bad guess, try again. You know I know you have never seen me before and you are just trying and doing a bad job.
'I dont go to parties.'
'Then I must have seen you soooomewhere'. Trying to settle into a conversation heh?
'I know I look somewhat familiar'. More like Madhuri Dikshit, Kajol and Tabu rolled into one you know!! har har har!
'What do you do?' Why the hell would you want to know ??
'Am a software person. BTW what are you?'
AS looks shocked. 'Dont you watch Telugu movies?'. Over my dead body.
'No'.
'Are you a Telugu person?'.
'Yes'.So??
Looks indignant. 'And you dont watch movies? I have acted in four movies.' So sorry I wouldnt know!!
'xxxxxxx is my latest movie being directed by yyyyyy' Wow. Arent I gald I met you. ~sigh~
'So are you going to tell me the story?'
'No I will tell you the caption...."zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz". Please watch the movie.' Sure anything for you honey!! Twas an interesting caption but i was beginning to get bored *yawn yawn* and started wondering why I was putting up with all this nonsense.
All this while he was walking along and we finally reached the end.
'hey I am not a rowdy.' This one cracked me up!
'Of course'.
'Can I introduce myself to your mom?'Pray Why??????
'Your call!'. AS decided against it.
'Do you come here everyday?'
'Mostly on weekends!'
'At this time???' The conversation was more excruciating than the walk!!
'Depends on how busy I am!'
'I know its early but can we exchange numbers?' That was the last straw.
'You answered it already. Early days'
'Bye' AS stared jogging in the opposite direction.

By then my mom caught up and wondered what was going on. I told her she neednt even bother.

So ladies ...go to KBR good for your health and good for your ego tooo :) For all you know it could be a ticket to stardom!

Mr. AS if you happen to read this thank your stars I did you a favour by gaurding your privacy.

Three posts in 24 hrs .... that must be some achievement :)

Thanks JLU. Some define classics(books) as hardly read. maybe they might want to change that for posts :)

Glad you liked it Aran! I hope the mods read your comment too :P

Hahaha...that was funny DR. That entry made me post my first comment on blogs.

"Whoever said parks were like lungs to a city hit the nail right on the head"

I read lungs as 'lungis' and scratched my head for a while trying to understand the relation.
