In creative world it’s easy and “almost” recommended to get an audience
by manufacturing controversies and stirring-up-the-pot by inaccurately citing history,
maligning popular leaders, talking ill about communities and religion especially
the ones who will react, paint nude deities, defend ones obvious plagiarism or a simple bar brawl/road
rage … oh and yes if you a big tongue, tongue dance at MTV awards ;) …Hence
I am talking about Six Packs. :)
Last Tuesday I worked till wee hours in the morning and got up “early”
for a crucial meeting and then drove to work for a video conference. Due to
craziness at work, I decided to go any check my appearance before the video
call. I gauged myself and decided that I looked “ok” despite little sleep and
too much coffee. But then I noticed my outfit and got baffled. I tried very
hard to remember if this was the same shirt and jeans that I wore the day
before. In my exhaustion I could neither remember what I wore the day before nor
remember the events from the hectic morning in order to trace where i picked up the cloths and get a clue if they were fresh or worn.
That moment I accepted that I will have to quit my job to be “magazine”
pretty or “moderately fashionable”.
So yes getting six packs of abs is not on my mind even remotely as
I struggle to stay healthy, comply to my TV/words with friends/scramble with
friends/Netflix/writing addiction and still pay my bills.
And as far as I know my most of regular readers … you doctors, teachers,
businesspersons, managers, movie makers and IT professionals … sail on the same
boat …
Six pack abs is not a unicorn, it’s more like winners of the multi-million
dollar lotto; a number small or big enough, however you see it, to constantly
tease you. Make it kind of theoretically
possible but practically impossible if you are not in the business of looking
good.
I don’t believe Six pack of abs will medically help me. I will die
from cold when I wear cropped winter wear over my cropped t-shirt everywhere
including office and church. Because if I ever get them, I ain’t hiding them… but
if you know me, you will know I prefer unity. That’s the secret. J

ahh so you don't believe in unity in diversity ?
Swati, actually i don't believe in diversity in my unity :D
I have recently found that getting into a shape, other than round or stick figure, as might be the case for several of us, is not an improbable dream. All you need is a job that pays you a handsome 6 digit salary and expects you to work 8-5.
You ask how I know all this, well ask my manager for the life he lives!
