Chalte Chalte….
Morning walks are no fun… one needs to get up early first!!! But then, it’s fun for sure. Pun intended. Because, not many people realize that walking is a science, as much as it’s an exercise! Oh yes, many are natural at walking, and then some are trained through ‘gait analysis’ with help on how to lift the feet, how much to stretch, nutrition, shoes, strength training and motivation!!
And then, there are those who just go by the song… Here’s my list
Mera Joota Hai Japani:
These are the folks who like ‘one night stands’. They buy a pair of Nike or Reebok or any other walking shoes you recommend the night before. Next morning, you will find them stamping their feet in the park, just in case you missed the brand they are showcasing. And then they disappear, till they come out with new brand of ‘Patloon’ or ‘topi’ – what a commitment!
Yahan Main Ajnabee Hoon:
No, it’s not just expats that am talking about or new into neighbourhood wanting to make friends. Not even those who are out to walk their dogs! They are out early morning trying to figure out why on earth were they born!!!
Tera Mera Pyar Amar, Phir Kyun Mujhkoo Lagta Hai Darr?
Newly married couples. One can see the joda hand in hand, sometime hubby leading and wife running or else, wifey running and hubby sulking. Think, it depends on what happened the night before!
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par, Nahi Padte Mere:
Midlife crisis. Especially, women. Just tell them, each pound is equivalent to 3500 calories and the waist, ooops, weight loss programme is something that cellphone companies can talk about whole day. With a bowl of pop corn prolly!!!
Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega:
Saw that buxom beauty walking out in the morning and got inspired. To walk behind, make an impression, and if nothing, just watch… Can anyone stop some nayansukh first thing in the morning?
Aa Dekhen Zara, Kisme Kitna Hai Dum:
‘Yeh lambi race ka ghoda hai’ applies here. You just can’t beat them! In fact, if you run, instead of walk, they will become runner… or runnest as the situation may be!
Yunhi Koi Mil Gaya Tha, Chalte Chalte:
‘Time kya hua hai?’ and then, ‘kahan rahate ho’ uncles and aunties. Maan na maan, main tera mehmaan! Coffee?
Chalte, Chalte, Mere Yeh Geet, Yaad Rakhna:
A MP3 player and ear-plugs are must for a walk. And then, others around keep guessing what kind of music does this person like?
For more, go take a walk… LOL
