Fasting.
The reality of my private hunger strike was announced in Chali and my 'No, it's Bhangad', it's just a 'showing of hands', 'It's private when it's not enough!' Such phrases began to fall upon my ears; But I wasn't going to begrudge any criticism. 'One hundred and eighty-one pounds,' the card danced before my eyes day and night. I lost sleep thinking that I should lose weight. I also didn't care about the idea that if I lost sleep, I would lose weight. Dharmapatni, however, did not believe at all that I was not sleeping as deeply as before. "If you snore all night!" She used to do such bad things to me.I'll lose fifty pounds in two months!" With such a vow, I began to delve into a book on diet. My interest in words such as protein foods, fatty foods, etc. started to increase. Instead of seeing all the food on the plate, I started seeing only the 'calories' and happily, I started seeing dozens of weight loss experts every day. What's more, but the people in our chali who had disregarded my fasting advised me to 'diet'. For example- Sokaji Trilokekar. "I'm telling you Pant, go on a 'diet'. Give up the potato. Don't name the potato."Yes! 'I mean where do you live?' So if asked, just say 'chali rahato'. Don't say 'potato chali'. WeightWill grow! Khee Khee Khee!" I don't know what to say to Mr. Reggae. What does it mean to always speak obliquely!But Sokaji rebuffed him. "You idiot! Why do you joke about everything, Nemi? I tell you, give up the potato. The list of things I would lose if I gave up started with the potato. "Potato is fine; But Pant, leave the rice first. " A piece of advice. "Want to get a little fat with rice? our Everyone eats rice in Konkan. Where are the fat? You leave the dal. "Kashinath Nadkarn.Skip oil and fried foods first." Grandma "Quit sleeping during the day."Actually, stop playing cards. Sitting makes you gain weight." But I decided to listen to all these people. As the first solution I started 'diet change'.Sugar has the most calories, so first started unsweetened tea. The first day didn't feel much different. Sugar ban announced at home. The family was forced to spend the entire Diwali on spicy and sweet. "Do something a little silly for the kids." So much discount kept. I started feeling the difference on the first day itself. It was difficult to abstain from rice at all, so the middle rice was abstained from, keeping only the first rice and takbhat. She experienced how empty it was to eat only boiled leafy vegetables and still had no idea what 'this' Nirale was doing with regular vegetables.The first day went smoothly and on the second day there was an incident of breaking the vow. More than half on the first day Kacheri had heard about my weight loss story.So, keeping only the first rice and takbhat, the middle rice was avoided. How hollow was the thought of eating just boiled leafy vegetables, the experience came after eating them and still did not guess what 'this' Nirale does in regular vegetables.The first day went smoothly and on the second day there was an incident of breaking the vow. On the first day, more than half of the girls had heard of my weight-loss vow; But the next day the news came that our Anna Nad Gowda got a promotion and he threw a party for the whole section. The chef of the canteen decided to take revenge on my 'diet' and made food. Well, Anna Nadgouda will feel bad if she doesn't eat! Bichara was out of the trap of 'Efficiency Bar' after six years. The chef had brought sweets without adding sugar to the sweets. Thousands of calories were consumed in the stomach, so the food was not sweet. Potatoes mean more calories. Chivda is a real 'vegetable' fry, so more calories and all that shaking and finally 'what's a party without vegetables?' Because of this taunt of Bhikoba Musla, Nad Gowda ordered back the special bhajis.Finally I don't want to stay. After devouring the sixth plate of vegetables, I mumbled, 'I'm on a diet now'Everyone drove me crazy when I said yes. "Hey Pant, what's the connection between food and weight?" Bhikoba Musale said, "Look, I ate twenty-one gulabjams. You have not exercised in your life. You have Kumbh Rasa and Kumbh Lagna. Just eating gas."
Even if you do it, you will remain fat. Is obesity in our hands?" "Nonsense!" shouted Jagdale, "Running every.Jump rope better than running. Well Pant, my sister lost forty pounds on the rope.by leaps and bounds. " said Ms. Kamalini Kenkare.Finally everyone agreed that I should run in the morning and jump rope in the evening and I did Picked up the vegetables in the seventh plate. But the family's excitement about my 'diet' was indescribable, as every day some miracle food started falling into my mouth. One day she fed me just by picking up a piece of bread. Shegya pods, Padwal, Balsedar congregationsShe started the diet of lean vegetables like okra, cowpeas etc. Cabbage, cauliflower etc. were banished from the kitchen. Even the morning tea is not what it used to be. So much tea without sugar.I never imagined it would be bitter before. "The tea was initially unsweetened but did not become bitter, and tell me why it does now," he saidDisclosure received from the family. "What did you mean by that? Ah, I mean the sugarless tea I gave you at the beginning was sugarless.Not at all Itwasn't? So what did you tell me about tea without sugar?" "Hey, there was a little sugar left, let's add it till it runs out. Yesterday ran out. From today, tea without sugar.Kale or without adding sugar.' "I mean! Oh, how many millions of calories must have gone into my stomach. How am I losing weight? ButWhy didn't you tell me?""Don't cry immediately. What is the weight loss? It will gradually decrease and we should not eat from someone's back. We should earn and eat by ourselves. If it increases, let the weight increase." Rani exclaims as she takes out the ladle and keeps the saucer to give to the children, putting a new spin on my weight loss resolve.Why did you make Ladoo? There is sugar in it!" "Ishsh! Ladoo without sugar, no one in our family made it!"Meaning, it is true that the tea was unsweetened; But in the form of ladava, some calories go into the stomach!The rope jumps were only attempted once and the first jump was the last, as it was difficult to complete the first rope swing in our eight by ten living room. Once the rope passed over her head she brought down the bottles of oils and medicines on the dressing table. Acharya Barvya, who twisted the ropes for the second time, staying half-gallery and half-house, was already angry with me. When they came to know that I was fasting, the whole congregation in Chali came to Samachar; But Acharya Baba Barve did not come even though he was in the adjoining room, because 'upas' was his speciality
There were reserve pastures. "It is all right that you have done this wickedness by putting a rope around my neck; but this is unbecoming of your ageIf someone else had fallen victim to dhingamasti like me, you wouldn't have bothered. I forgive you." "But... I didn't do it on purpose, Acharya! Hey, I am jumping rope to lose weight. "It won't do any good!" "Why?"Why? No control of the tongue. You need patience. You need concentration of mind. For that, a few things firs have to leave."Don't you see, father, that I have given up my shame to do these jumps?Okay. Stop talking first." "Stop talking.Absolutely! You see that the use of the mouth is less for eating; but also for speaking.But I must speak, father." I screamed in a hoarse voice.
"Why? Don't you have so much patience? The power of silence is great. Silence is power. Silence is..." Holding one end of my jumping rope in his hand, Baba was babbling on the topic of 'importance of silence' for an hour. Finally interrupting their speech, I shouted, "But father, if I don't speak, will I eat?"So? What's the connection between talking and eating?""I'm a telephone operator, Dad. I have to talk all day."So what weight are you going to lose?" Taking very compassionate look, Baba went and hugged himI regretted thinking that I had not tightened the rope that had fallen on me.But then I got angry and decided that it was enough. No more fasting until the weight comes off! I began to dream that I was stingy. I started to get up from the full plate. What about sugar-free and dairy-free; But I started drinking tea without tea. When I saw the sugar, my body started to get goosebumps. I started living only on fruits. Lemon juice seemed like nectar to me. I started going to Andheri cows occasionally for warm milk. The rope jumps were only due to the complaints made by the 'wickedness and laziness' of the lower floor congregation.Had to stop. I had reached the point of hitting ten jumps without getting stuck. I started running on the Girgaon road. Started only nutritious and sattvic diet. This sequence continued for almost 12 days and I could see the difference in myself. I wanted to weigh the thorn in the evening, like children plucking a plant to see how much it has grown after sowing; But I suppressed that desire. Exactly one month later I was going to do it. A drop of ghee would not enter my stomach for a month. Only milk! Unfortunately, there was no daily access to cows; But the total diet continued vigorously.During the fortnight, only two times of sugaring happened. Once Sokaji had stolen shrimp rice and Bhauji Pasratwar downstairs had once sent Nagpuri Vada rice. With these exceptions, rice was not touched. Therefore, mainly fatty substances were lost in the body. Seeing my total determination, I could not escape the respect of the congregation in Chali. The congregation that was making fun of me, my diet and fasting was the only one who said, "Pant, you can see the difference!" He began to confess.Even a very curmudgeonly neighbor like Janoba Regya had to admit, “Pant, bhaltech kay ho rodaulet.The only thing I feared with the abundance of congregations was the growing of a handful of flesh; But I was not one to walk away from the occasional compliment. After such unusual self-restraint and self-control, I was sure that I should lose at least twenty to twenty-five pounds, and with that conviction I stepped on the weighing machine in front of our office and took the ticket. A month ago, the same machine showed my weight at one hundred and eighty one pounds. a month of fasting,
After fasting, scientific diet, jumping on the rope etc., the weight is on the ticket today.
I couldn't believe it for a minute. One hundred and ninety-nine pounds and the fortune was: 'Aap bahut samajdar aur ghambir hai!' Lately I have stopped worrying about both weight and future and especially not going on a diet in this life. Chhe, chhe, the path of weight goes through the fork.
