The thing is, I recently had my 'Body Composition Analysis' done. I didn't get it done by going out of the way. It was done as part of regular admission procedures at the gym I recently joined. And what did the analysis find out? The same thing many of us knew just by looking at me...that I am OBESE :P Thrrrrbbbt! :P
Here are the hard numbers to convert the non-believers amongst you into believers....
Body Fat Mass (kg) - 20.5 (Normal range - 7.4 to 14.7)
Verdict? OBESE!!!
BMI (kg/cubic meter)- 25.2 (Normal range - 18.5 - 25.0)
Verdict? OBESE!!!
Percent Body Fat(%) - 29.1 (Normal range - 10.0 - 20.0)
Verdict? OBESE!!!
Waist to Hip Ratio - 0.89 (Normal range - 0.75 - 0.85)
Verdict? OBESE!!!
For such a mighty deity as described by the statistics above, I have made a prayer. However unlike usual prayers, it is more of a bhoot-bhagao (ghost-busting) mantra - meant to destroy the very thing it is directed towards - my godly obesity!
So folks! Without further ado and boring delays, I present to you....
Prayer to the pot-belly deity!
(Side by side original prayer in gray for a greater illuminated enjoyment ;-) )
Tum hi ho mota, petu tum hi ho,
Tum hi ho mata, Pita tum hi ho,
Tummy baloon hai, sukha tummy ko!
Tum hi ho bandhoo, Sakha tum hi ho.
Tum hi ho Haathi tummy se haarey...
Tum hi ho saathi...Tum hi sahare...
Tummy naapna, bada huaa rey!
Koyee na apna siva Tumhare!
Thinny hoainga, toning kavraynga...
Tumhi ho naiya Tumhi khevaiya
Tummy se bhondu sucka' tumhi ho!
Tumhi ho bandhu sakha Tumhi ho.
Jo hil sakey na woh fuley bum hain
Jo khil sake na woh phool ham hain
Tumhare (charne-ki-bhool)-e-gham hai
Tumhare charano ki dhool ham hain
The yucky bursty bada pet apna
Daya ki drishti sada hi rakhna
Tummy baloon hai sukha tummy ko
Tumhi ho bandhu sakha Tumhi ho
Tum hi ho mota, petu tum hi ho,
Tum hi ho mata, Pita tum hi ho,
Tummy baloon hai, sukha tummy ko!
Tum hi ho bandhoo, Sakha tum hi ho.
