Control……

My mouth’s watering, Pizza’s, cakes, pastries etc. etc. etc… are disturbing me. The only thing on this earth which is uncontrollable is the word “Control”. This post is dedicated to me, coz I am suffering from this disease of “Control”.

I started gym from last week, for my good fate the gym is in the area where I have to cross my favourite eat outs (Mc’D, Dominos, Hot chips and many more). While I am back home after my two hour long tiring workout, all of the above will invite me like never before.

The devil inside me pops out and tells- “Hey, go for a last time. You should never disappoint people who invite you so well”. 

Angel inside me- “No Ranju, You can eat for whole of your life”. I somehow listen to Angel inside me and disappoint all the inviters, speedup my bike and come home.

When I was not on dieting, Programmes in the TV as soon as I first switched on were, Mickey Mehta’s exercises for a perfect body, Yoga from famous Gurus Etc. Now, when I am back from an exhausting workout the first thing I see on TV is Sihi Kahi Chandru’s Bombat Bojana, Sanjeev Kapoor’s Kaahana Kazana….. After seeing this I definitely understand God’s testing me.

I thought it was the end of my test from God. Because my instructor told me that I could eat egg. I was so damn happy. I love egg, so I myself call me as an “Eggitarian” coz I am not a Non –vegetarian.

With full enthusiasm I was going to the shop behind my home to buy eggs. A dog chased me and bit me. As it was a small wound not leaving my wish to eat egg, I went to the shop, bought egg, kept it at home and went to the Doctor.

I went inside the clinic; Doctor gave me the medications and conversation between us went like this.

D – With Serious voice, are you a veggie?

M- Yes Doc, But I eat only Egg.

D- You should stop eating Egg and Egg products.

M- Oh yes, I can do it. But till?

D- Till your medications are over, that is, till you complete 5 injections spread over a months’ time.

M- You mean, I should not eat egg for a month!!!

D- Yes, my dear. (With a sarcastic smile)

With an ear to ear smile on my face. I went home, returned the eggs which I had bought, to the vendor. And felt sorry for poor me for a while. But, I believe laughing at our own funny stories is the most wonderful enjoyment. So, I told all my stories to my Sis, Brother in law, Mom, Dad, Friends and laughed at myself and now I know “Control” is so “Uncontrollable”.

Ranju....
