    Thank you Kamalji for your words. That is the hardest part of accepting I guess even though we all know it deep down. It is only natural for us to want to see results for all ourhard work - but it may come in a form that we may have not anticipated at all!

    Dear Sabitha,

    Very well said but I didnot get the full essence of the post in a single go.
    :thumbsup
    I am short of words to describe the result of reading your writing:cheers

    Thank you Raba, will you believe me if I say this was one snippet I tried really hard to simply ?? - because of the complexity of what I was feeling I guess. And I do appreciate you taking time to read to get the essence - it means a lot to me. Thank you!

    Reading your posts feel the same as having a conversation with my Dad Sabitha.:) You both share the same philosophical bent and both give me big platters of food for thought. :bowdown

    While I admire your perseverance in continuing with your spinning inspite of it giving you headaches and you not enjoying it as much as yoga, I also feel sad that the one that I thought of as my soul-mate has abandoned me so cruelly. And for what? Just so you can be healthy? How frivolous, dear Sabitha! :spin

    The only yoga exercise that I do is when I lie down to go to sleep. I breathe in and out. That too, several times. Is there a name for that in Yoga? :wink:

    Kidding aside, a truly fantastic, thought-provoking post! Posts such as these balance out the totally foolish and silly posts of mine. I am nominating this for the Finest Post for this month. :thumbsup

    Nice to meet a fellow fitness freak! I spend an hour and half on treadmill and exercise bike daily besides weights, ab exercises with weights tied to my legs and a bit of yoga. But reading the word "spoinning" in the title I thought you are one of those quirky Gandhians who spent time spinning a charkha and wondered how does that become an exercise routine.

    Balajee....that is a new spin to the word "spinning" now! If one really spun with the speed with which we spin on the bike, oh imagine all that wonderful cloth coming out. Oops is that quirky Gandhian speaking :confused2:?? Weights tied to your legs....wow...why??? As long you enjoy my friend! Thank you for your feedback.
