The Arsenal

The steroid stack... !

One of my relatives who came to the house became curious looking at my supplements. She asked me what were all the containers that occupied so much space . I felt kinda awkward, I just said they were my supplements and kept quiet. She gave me a strange look! She asked me what were they used for so I had no other way but to give her  a crash course on bodybuilding supplementation but I m damn sure she wouldn't have understood half of what I said!!( Why do you ask me?!)

Next time a couple of my friends who came to see me were shocked to see the size of my protein tub and they were sure this one container was the reason I built muscle and they kept asking me about its price and how long a tub lasted! obviously they must have calculated how much I spent on protein supplements.

Next time another friend comes to my house sees the containers and asks me so much question like if they were all steroids! And when I told him what they were all. He was only half convinced that they were not steroids.

Let me be clear guys

1. I don't do steroids. For me exercising is more to do with being healthy and its like a therapy and meditation. It's my quiet time with my body.

2. Whey protein alone just won't make you build muscle you need to eat properly and bust your ass in the gym.

3.Yes it's costly but everything comes with a price. I don't booze or  smoke like most of the guys . So both of us spend money  but the only difference between me and a majority of guys my age is that the expenditure is for different reasons.

Let me tell you what items are present in my stack and their uses, (From left) Creatine monohydrate - to keep my ATP levels high for training, Pre-workout- to help increase focus during workouts, Whey protein - a fast acting protein essential  to help muscles to recover post workout and then L-glutamine,fish oil capsules & probiotics with a good number of CFU's- to help repair my damaged digestive system. Ya I called it "steroid stack" coz I have a bad sense of humor (you ignoramus! Just kiddingggg ;P )

Transformer..

(This was lying in the drafts for like 4 months I guess..)


My life has been going through radical changes in the past 12 months. Though all the changes were good and have groomed me to be a better person, there was a flip side to them. I was losing my interest in fitness. I was becoming lazy and for almost 6 months or so never stepped into the gym...After such a long time, when I had put on a considerable amount of fat and became totally out of shape it struck me that I should not prolong my exile, so I joined a gym. As soon as registering, I stepped on the weighing scale and boy did I get a mini-heart attack when I saw those numbers!! I ve never weighed that much in my entire life.. And when I measured my waist I felt like screaming! Luckily the gym didn't have a caliper to measure my body fat!! So with all these shocking numbers creating havoc in my brain I stepped on the treadmill I thought I was gonna be exhausted in no time but I kept going on and on and after a decent 20 mins jogging I realized I wasn't fatigued at all...With that little encouragement I went to the dumbbell rack and after some warm up did some dumbbell bench press, I was able to lift almost the same weights which I used to, 6 months back... I thanked all my stars for that ... I need not start everything all over again all those years of hard work definitely have paid off but the numbers were still  scaring the crap out of me... So after the workout I got back home prepared a workout schedule and a diet plan and made a resolution that i'd stick to it.


                             I worked out the next day and the next day but the third day I lost all motivation to go to gym as my mind started playing games with me, thoughts like "U can never get back to ur old shape", "whatever U did was history u're not the same" ,it kept distracting me.To make things worse people who were skinny and lanky 6 months back have now gained some mass...(that's one painful thing to see, when for years you were the "rock star" in the gym!! They have overtook me in this 6 months exile!! ) The next day I forced myself to go.. For 3-4 months this was the case, I was very irregular . I worked out but I lost that drive, I just went on coz I had to... After 3 months was over I stepped on the weighing scale and Gosh!! I had lost 5kgs though the progress was very slow it wasn't bad keeping in mind my motivational level. After seeing the results my motivation slightly increased. I changed my workout plan and went on with a little more intensity . After one whole month of training I stepped on the weighing scale again.I measured the same weight. Pop!! went the bubble.. My mind was telling me "didn't I tell u" ?!!

I never stepped into the gym for another week... I tried everything I knew but I wasn't losing a kilo...That was when I thought of following an expert's advice so I started following Kris Gethin s 12 week free trainer on bodybuilding.com in 2 weeks time my weight started dropping again. There are no words to describe how I felt to see the weighing scale again. In another 7 weeks time I lost like 7 more kgs and finally got the physique I wanted. When I compared my before and after pictures it was shocking to myself at first. It was an impressive transformation! All hard work finally paid off !It was a quite a bumpy ride. I thought I ll post here so I can remind myself about what I have accomplished.

Resurrection...

This is shocking I just opened my blog to see the number of posts I have made on this page and it shows that for one whole year I ve written only one post and that post is  a list of my favorite songs. What has happened to me? Why didn't I record anything on this page ? Am I getting matured am I trying to keep things to myself instead of letting the whole of the web know what I am doing? or am I getting lazy ? or like everyone else am I getting too busy with my life that I hardly have any time at all to post anything on this page? One thing I know for sure is that I haven't written anything at all and one more thing I am sure of is that I don't wanna stop writing, but how am I gonna let my thoughts flow into this keyboard and ultimately on to the web ? How am I gonna make a mark in the history of blogger How am I gonna make people remember my name even after I am gone? Oh! no what have I done? I haven't written anything ...Oops! no I have a couple of drafts lying incomplete but still only a couple ?? where s the genius side of me where s my wisdom? How am I gonna lead the future generation. This world has already missed a genius' presence for one whole year thats 365 days and 365 nights ... It can't be !

What if  my "regular followers" think that I m dead.. No folks am not dead nor I did I have a coma..Relax I m back! Mr.Ess s back this year with a bang! excuse me but I really don't know whats that supposed to mean.. I just said that coz it sounded nice. Hmmm.. This is surprising, astonishing, shocking that I didn't write for a year . That's it I am gonna keep posting more often on this page like how I used to. This year this blog is gonna get its life back. I m gonna bring it back to life. Oh! I guess both the sentences mean the same.No wait it doesn't mean the same first I said the blog is gonna get back it's life and then I said I was gonna do that how can that two be the same.. Ohh goddd! what has happened to me is it coz I didn't write for a long time I m losing my super writing powers ?!! No I haven't lost any of my super powers I m back with a vengeance ...but I don't know what vengeance it is.. I just wrote that line coz its eminem's song line..! Yes eminem the King of hip hop my super mightful god father .. I love you Eminem keep killing it .. Phew! finally somehow completed 2 paragraphs .. Finally started writing again...More stuffs coming soon.. I am back worldwideweb!

Roadside Romeo...

                       Today while I was returning home,I saw him after a long time, one of my favorite dogs (stray) with a pack of dogs, that live in the vicinity of our street park.I was totally surprised to see him there. Main reason was he was the "Alpha dog" in his territory, the street on which our old house was located. He would beat the shit out of any dog that stepped on his territory, I had no clue how he managed to adjust with a new pack. Another reason was the street were he used to "patrol" is quite distant from here, I didn't know what he was doing here. He was resting with the other pack members,I stopped my bike and I called out to him (just a typical sound I make to call them,he and his sisters know that sound means food!!) He looked around to see where the sound came from,I again made that sound for him.He then, found the source of the sound, but the dummy didn't recognize me at first but then he did. He wagged his tail. I called him to my house,I started the bike moved some distance and made the sound,He came towards me, but then, after some steps he got confused as to why I called him and kept moving and he stopped, seeing this I had to stop the bike and again make that sound then he followed me and after sum distance he stopped again,I did the same thing once again,he continued following me. I wanted to give him something to eat to "celebrate" the reunion so I went inside, he was waiting outside eagerly,he knows that if I go inside the house that means food is on the way! I brought some biscuits and egg yolks(U see,bodybuilding!) I placed it near the gate he seemed to enjoy his treat...He always loves biscuits and bones but not a big fan of bread or anything soft. Then something funny happened, while he was eating, his pack member who had followed him, tried to approach the food! GGGrrrrr!!! came the sound... Some things never change!! :D .

                         I know this guy right from when he was a 40 days puppy!! He used to do the same thing back then. Sometime back I used to feed his litter mates. Three  puppies, all black in color through out. But this guy alone has this white patch kinda appearance on his nose and he always did this puppy head tilt. He looked so cute when he did that and was obviously very energetic. I thought of raising him, so one day I took him home but that didn't go well.His mother followed him and she was standing outside our gates and howling, I had no other option but to send him back with his mom, but I still continue feeding them, all the 3 (including their mom. One of his litter mate went missing :( ). He's a really lovely dog.I can take him in now but this guy has grown up totally feral and he's got used to that way of living.I hate to see him with a collar and  inside a confinement called home. But at the same time I know it's dangerous outside...I'm stuck, I don't know what to do...

 (This video was taken a long time back when he was a puppy. One evening, he was playing behind our house I sat on the compound wall and was tossing him biscuits..)

I am not guilty..

Copy cats,there are so many out there who wants to take credit for someone's  hard work.But what if you are the person who is called one after you have worked so hard with your imaginations and finally came up with some script or a storyline which in your opinion is good and in no way are you deserving such disrespect.It has happened to me quite a number of times.I like to wander in the fields of  my imaginations or fantasies call it whatever.I write stories.I tell stories.Sometimes it happens to be stories of movies which have already been released and which have ran successfully in theaters or out of theaters(!!) but I swear I've never seen those movies before,I swear,I swear.To mention a couple of such strange coincidences,

Once,I came up with a story of a
couple,college going kids who rob just for the sake of the thrill part of it.The two are so madly in love with each other and they both have a passion for breaking rules,stealing and are a notorious couple..But they are not psychopaths just misled youngsters victims of bad media influences.So it was a story about how they committed all their robberies,how they fell in love,their adventures. Now when I thought about this whole thing I never knew about Bonnie and Clyde or The Great train robbery or I had never seen the movie "After the sunset" starring Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek.I was sitting in a coffee shop and I saw a couple coming out of the nearby atm and this idea of a couple committing robberies popped up.I did a little work on it and the story was done.So how did I come to know that this was the replica of that movie?? I was narrating the story to a friend and she told me"hey,this sounds like the story of "after the sunset",haven't u seen it before??!!!(poppp...!!!) :(


Another story was about a guy who fell in love with a girl and who risked his life for her,without even knowing if she loved him back.The girl is the only eye witness in  the murder of a big shot and the assassin follows her to kill her too. The hero comes in between them both saves the day.But he's not a hero who can fight a 100 guys with both his hands tied, he is just an average guy unlike the killer who is a ruthless murderer.The girl proposes only in the end of the story.After Hero had killed the killer.So it is a happy ending love story.Now I was narrating this story to another friend  and he says dude this is the story line of the upcoming movie "Paiya" a tamil movie starring Karthi and Tamanna(what the.!!!!) I thought about the story a long time back atleast 3 years before the film hit the screens. I got the inspiration for this story from a trip to Ooty.We were staying in a cottage and they had arranged a campfire that night,imagine, its dark and cold and this fire lights up the darkness and gives warmth on a cold night.And in that light, what if  a guy happens to meet a beautiful girl...that was how I developed the story.But too bad that Lingusamy also came up with a story similar to mine.

         Okay,Now let me get this straighttttttttt.. in no way I can be called a Copy Cat,its unfair.Well,though on one hand its sad to know my efforts have been wasted,It's encouraging to know that I can make up stories which are too good to be made into a movie,my thinking is of Hollywood standards.I AM A GENIUS.!!! :D
             

The Desolate dark crawler..

When I was in 10th standard we were taken on an excursion to Kerala. It was an unforgettable trip..Good times of teenage.So on the second day after reaching Kerala we were taken to this huge zoo.I don't remember the name of it(I got a bad memory).Soon after sometime we entered it. I noticed that I was lost.All my friends who were walking together suddenly disappeared.Maybe too much excitement had caught them and they were in a mood to explore or It was me who lost them, I dunno.So I was walking around by my own looking at the green lush grasses and the trees.

                             When I reached the cages as I walked by, the first thing I happened to see was a Black snake,which was locked inside a cage with net covered from the inside.I approached to take a closer look at it and I could see that the snake barely moved.I've always loved these reptiles ever since I was a Kid.To me they looked like Invincible and splendid.And when I stood there watching at this vicious creature there was this feeling of loneliness and despair that filled the air which got into me.The snake was all lifeless.It had a look, which to me was like as though the soul had already died within its not so long body.The snake must have been at least 4 feet long and it was there lying all curled up  just hissing every now and then.It was such a negative vibration near that cage I couldn't move either,it was like I was being pulled into it more and more with the passage of time.A feeling that I can't describe precisely even after all these years.As this magnificent creature wasn't moving but staying still the visitors didn't spend much time,except for me and the snake there were nobody at the scene.I felt a sense of loneliness a feeling of desolateness in the snake.I was wondering what it was to have been locked up inside a box and fed at right times throughout the day,having numerous visitors staring at you every day.You are given everything but freedom.The creature must have fought to get out of the box,it must have tried it's best to escape but must have failed ultimately.Now since that it had learn't it has got no way out it was lying there lifeless, it's soul already given up.But its heart was still beating.There was a dead rat or some rodent on the other end of the cage.I was standing there and finally took a picture of the snake.Even after like 15-20 minutes I was still standing there unwilling to move.By that time my "lost" friendly friends found me and they broke the spell which the snake had cast on me and took me...It was an unforgettable moment in my teenage phase..

The Eminem Show

This post is about "Just lose it" by Eminem,which is one of my favorite tracks.The song is very funny.Its mostly about Micheal Jackson  and his accusations of child molestation.Little bit about "8 mile" the movie in which eminem acted and the rest are from his crazy life and imaginations.Okay,Eminem disses MJ outrageously in this one song and I feel sorry for MJ.But I have no idea what he's got against some celebrities.In one of his song he shouts out"Jessica Simpson sing the chorus",other celebrities like Mary Kate,Lindsay Lohan,Britney Spears,Madonna,JT,Mariah Carey have also found a place in his "Diss List"...I feel sorry for them.But can't stop listening to those songs 'cause I like them! :D In this song "Just lose it" MC Hammer and Madonna are also being spoofed.He dresses like Madonna and imitates her!! :D Okay this is a Hit song of Em' and I think I don't have to elaborate about it any further.It's been like 8 years since the album got released.And man I would have listened to it a 1000 times, but the thing is every time I listen to it,it sounds even more funny than before..I don't know how!And I just can't stop laughing!! I think only Em' can do that.He's a real master when it comes to the dissin' game.Apart from being called the "King of Hip Hop",I guess he can also be called "the master of disaster"!!! Okay,by this time it would have been obvious that I am a die-hard fan of Eminem and I don't think I'll have to mention it again..But wait oh! I think I did...!! :D :D... Thats all folks...
