The well being!!

Fitness- Is it about those wonder curves,those six pack abs or a perfect physique? Or is it about a consciousness that you need to be doing something good to your body, on and off. I never knew that i would love adventure sports and trekking so much before i tried all.I never knew i could cycle all the way 20 kms non stop on a close to rickety cycle and enjoy coffee and "jalebi" at a restaurant after the milestone. :-) I never knew i could enjoy abosutely,an hour of exhausting aerobics with almost similar music every alternate day and turn out being friends with some amazing ladies,feel confident to be working up on stepper combos and be smiling at the dance steps and expressions of the wonderful trainer in the special "Dance sessions" every saturday.Not being regular is another story ofcourse. :-) And yep, those rare evenings when i visit the gym,courtesy my waking up late and missing the morning time, where the young crowd and tempo is at max and you feel great to be in such a place!!;-) I never knew i could enjoy the ride back from gym in the same rickety cycle, and love my favourite lane,surrounded by beautiful trees,so much that i just look up and nowhere else while driving across the same.And ofcourse the adventure activities back there in my workplace,each one of which resulted in beautiful memories and a certain peace and tranquility that i could never have experienced so easily.And the cliffs and the rocks, and doing weird things like walking on a narrow lane,valley on one side,and getting a scolding from my friends,frequent trekkers,for risking my life,in an instant.Those innumerable photography sessions on seeing every scenic view,a beautiful tree,a big rock,signs and stretches,and being the photographer in reurn for every photo of mine getting clicked alone..!!Wonderful times,must say! And yes, the experience of walkin and climbing in Moon light(suggested by our group leader),with all torches off,on a night trek,listening to animals and birds' voice echoing in the valley was an experience i would remember everytime i will think of a trek.And the shrieks of groups mimicking lion's roar,reciprocated by similar shouts from some other corners.And the food together with limited resources at a small pretty old house,with innocent people,and the bonfire and lots of ghost stories being narrated there.Unable to sleep in the temple,afraid of ghosts,feeling cold and bitten by mosquitoes and what not, i wonder i could have such moments again,as discomfort added much more to the adventure trips.I recall everything,every detail as i write down a precise of the adventure experiences i became a part of here.And the valley crossing, an amazing experience, when you turn your head down,in middle of valley,stuck by a rope, looking at expanse, and a fear mixed with awe which makes you feel just so great.And the local buses,superpacked and the struggle to get seated in them, returning home tired,torn and exhausted and the picassa link exhanges and a series of mails the next day.Oh,i have started missing the fun already.

And talking of it,the badminton sessions in my society, roomies,cousin and his friends,have been so good and enjoyable.
So, arent they a part of the fitness plan? Yes,they do result in fitness and well being,bringing a sense of peace and health with unmatched memories.
