Prayer to the pot-belly deity!

Saturday, June 12, 2010
Oh no, I am not talking about Ganesha here! That one has an elephant head on a pot belly. I am talking about the one that supposedly has a lizard head on what is now officially a pot belly...The Stupidosaur!

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.

So, is the deity gonna go all 'diet'y? Nah! Just exercise I guess :P

Meetha Sa Chadiya Bukhaar...Ramji Karo Beda Paar!

Monday, June 7, 2010
Statcounter keeps me informed when people visit old pages on this blog. Recently someone visited this one:
http://saying-private-yarn.blogspot.com/2009/06/senti-mental-post.html

A comment by Abhishek Sim there set me thinking. What would have the joke that he mentioned actually been like...

Why should a guy wanting to get paired up go to a temple?

Wahan...
Bhakti milegi,
Aarti milegi,
Pooja milegi,
Shanti milegi,
Punyata milegi,
Diya, Deepika...haan woh bhi,
Saumyata milegi,
Khushi bhi mil sakti hai,
Prerna bhi,
Arrey haan, wahan aksar Vidhi bhi hoti hai,
Kisi kisi ko Deeksha bhi prapt hoti hai.
Mandir ki Garima toh ekdum khas hoti hai.
Aur kuchh mandiron ki Shobha badi hi sundar hoti hai. (Spell checker of Chrome is prompting me to change hoti to hot)


Why should a girl wanting to get paired go to a temple?

Wahan...
Prabhu milega,
Dev milega,
Anand milega,
Prasad milega,
Kalyan hoga,
Omkar hoga, Om bhi,

I am feeling sleepy and giving up for now. Who all do you expect to meet up with at temples? Comments section is wide open! Continue the lists!


(BTW title is a song (not title song ;) ) from Dev D, which is quite fitting, since the movie has both 'Dev' in title and marriage somewhere in the theme ;) )

Greek to me!

Saturday, June 5, 2010
If 'Citizen' is originally a Greek concept, why do we call a Citizen a Na-Greek?
