Say no to body shaming, but make no mistake the body positive movement is harmful and unscientific!
After gaining a lot of weight in the early 2003 to 2006 due to my own lack of focus, for the last 15 years I have been totally focused on better health and its even a part of my leadership workshops.
Now I am in my 7th year of regular exercising, martial arts and good diet and have decided to get into my 50s (in another 11 months) in a better shape than ever before!
Of course, we can all meet with accidents or for example get cancer without any reason, but the idea is to try and live happy and fit till the last day! The truth is when you don’t smoke or drink you do reduce your chances of cancer hugely!
I have deducted salaries of overweight seniors in my organisation - who opted for the weight linked salary structure!!
At this point as well one of my colleagues has to send me a daily live location on WhatsApp while he does his 90 min walk and I can actually see him walking on the tracker. And cross check on video calls. At the end of his session he has to send me a snap shot of his fitness tracker with the time and distance covered!! His target is to lose 64kgs in the next 18 months!!!
Yes I love health conscious fit people.
My father was over weight and mostly fat throughout his life. I loved him more than I loved anyone else in this world!! A lot of my closest friends are fat and I love them today! So I am all for loving people irrespective of their religion, race, body shape. And BODY SHAMING is totally not acceptable.
But just like I have scientific reasons to believe that religious people are low IQ similarly I find the body positive movement uneducated, unscientific and outright illogical. It is pure and simple lazy living in denial of science. While body shaming is shameful, the opposite of it isn’t body positive. That’s irrational - however much it hurts.
That too specially since it’s carried out on social media to get acceptance!!
No doctor agrees with the body positive movement (a research showed that only 1.5% of them agreed). All research and scientific evidence points out to the undeniable fact that extra weight is the key reason behind Hypertension, Diabetes, Kidney issues and thus early death (apart from infertility of course)..
And most importantly it’s untrue that appreciating fitness is a social media learnt trait. Research has shown that even new borns react more positively towards fit people!!
So instead of living in denial. Get up. Get ready. Exercise before starting your day. And far more importantly eat good food - but less.
Really less.
>>>>> As the saying goes- eat your food like medicine today, unless you want to eat medicines like food tomorrow. <<<<<
Get fit for your own sake, get fit for the people you love and get fit to manage your finances better (because we earn for our whole life at the end of the day to spend on our hospitalisation expenses as we grow old)..
And yes appreciate every fit person around you. That fit body is a result of a lot of hard work, sincerity, focus and control over gluttony. It didn’t come by being lazy and eating fast food and accumulating cholesterol.
Cheers!!

HATS OFF TO SHAH RUKH KHAN FOR STANDING HIS GROUND! IT’S NOW TIME TO END THIS HOOLIGANISM ONCE AND FOR ALL AND MAKE MUMBAI A UNION TERRITORY!

SRK is great! Not just because he is such a star, but because he genuinely is the most amazing person and has such a logical and sound brain. And now the entire nation idolizes this man all the more because he has become a symbol of sheer courage as well! And I think all it required was someone like him to stand up coolly and say, “This is not right, I’ve done nothing wrong and I won’t apologise.” When he was saying this, one could almost see the schoolboy rebel in him – not ready to cow down to an illogical man trying to act as the school headmaster. I am writing this editorial immediately after coming back from a show on NDTV 24x7, which was on the topic, “Is Sena the real power in Mumbai?” I was one of the speakers. It was sad to see Uddhav Thackeray, who was another speaker in that show, sticking to a stance that cannot be defended by any sense of logic. When questioned on the show by the NDTV anchor on his tendentious comments against SRK, Uddhav’s reply was that one should ask th

It’s important for Anna to become more flexible and respectful towards the democratic process, to give a bigger thrust to his movement

I was too young then to really remember it all; but I have heard from many people that the mass protests generated by the arrest of Anna Hazare are similar to the uprising called Total Revolution led by the late Jaiprakash Narayan in the early 1970s. In fact, it was the Total Revolution and the chaos that followed – and a historic blunder by Indira Gandhi – that led to the imposition of the Emergency in India in 1975. Many people are comparing today’s situation to the Emergency days. The people of India are so fed up and so disgusted with corruption and our rotten and corrupt system that the wave of protests we see is hardly surprising. I have often publicly called India not a democracy but a demonocracy where crooked politicians and their criminal cohorts are openly plundering the nation; well aware that a dysfunctional judicial system will allow them to get away. In almost all cases, they have actually got away and have hence acquired the arrogance and swagger of pirates who know

Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

A phony poseur that has been made only to mock India for the viewing pleasure of the First World!! The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been trashed as a rotting old hat, which literally stands out only because of its stench, but since the man making it happens to be from the West, we’re all left celebrating the emperor’s new clothes. The film borrows an undoubtedly interesting narrative style – from films like “City of God” – but then uses it to weave in a collection of clichés from the Third World’s underbelly for the viewing pleasure of a First World audience. The real slumdog in the movie is not
