In each of these locations, there was a weird juxtaposition of things sited. In the first and second locations, a gym was right along side some form of educational institute, in the third the municipal gym was between a gurudwara on the left and a mandir on the right. Incidentally, the first and third places were closed (I tried to join while I was here … start the new year right and work off all the gulab jamun I’ve been eating). The third place, the municipal gym, saw all of its equipment break from overuse so the city just closed it down. It was a shame, but this is the risk inherent in overly subsidizing a service.
Incidentally, the first and third places were closed. I think the middle place was open, but I didn’t check.
Guy-m? What the hell is a guy-m?
OH! A GUY-M.
It’s been a while since I quoted the Simpsons on here. If you don’t know the reference, that phrase won’t be funny in the slightest.
the gyms…reminds me when what’s her face.. madhu someone i think, lost the miss world title (she would’ve wone it) because of her asinine answer to the question..what is one thing you would do for your country? and she said improve physical fitness… i remember the groans outta my mouth… hehe.. anyone remember that?
yeah, she actually said Å¡”IŽd build a big sports complex”. Honest answer, but not one that gets you a beauty queen award. She ought to have known to stick with the save-the-starving-children kinda stuff.
yeah, she needed the save the world, cure cancer, AIDS relief, etc… too bad, so sad.. we lost the title because of her answer… oh well… rai, and sen didn’t do too poorly 🙂
and hope and work towards world peace…ala ms congeniality
Thanks to Rai and Sen and all those other beauty queens that have made world peace possible
ironically, if Madhu-whatever had won, she might have at least followed through with her goals, whereas the ever-elusive world peace seems to have landed Aishwariya Rai selling mascara and hair color…
But seriously, I wonder if improved physical fitness would have an impact on overall peace… improved cardiofitness, lower obesity rates, longer life expectancies, everybody more relaxed and less toxic… hmmm, maybe she’s on to something 😉
Or maybe eye mascara and hair color is winning..by dissolving the line between preety and not so preety… everybody preety..everybody happy…YAY!!!OMG!!!it’s like…a..genius…idea!!! Totally!!! (high-pitched giggle!!)
Who needs world peace when you can be voted #7 in the 101 sexiest celebrity bodies by E?
hahaha! What fantastic pics. Thanks for posting them Ennis. I love it here.
This is classic India – so organic that it becomes post-modern without trying. Another thing I’ll be careful to look for on my impending trip to India.
Maybe she’s planning to save the world just by “being really, really good-looking”, a la Zoolander 😉
Unfortunately, not necessarily. There have been many warlike groups throughout history who placed a cultural premium on being extremely physically fit, but it didn’t do much to stop their aggression or ambitions of conquest. The opposite, in fact.
that guy on the gym sign in the last pic does not look right….
Pattie – what do you mean? He looks like a bollywood action star to me 🙂
