Things I see no point doing and wonder why the others do it...
1. Travelling all the way from one country to another just to get baked under the sun in a cricket stadium from where the players dont look any better than a bunch of ants, when you can sit in your house coolly and watch the match with your friends and family on a big flat screen TV getting to see the slow-motions from all possible angles.
2. Driving all the way to and from your gym when jogging that same way to and from your gym might help you burn more calories than you would inside the gym.
3. Working out (jogging or walking) on a treadmill for 1 hour when you can always jog or walk around your neighbourhood for free for any amount of time. I've always wondered...Why do people make use of electricity to rotate the belt in the treadmill for burning calories when they can instead burn those same calories to rotate the belt and generate electricity?
4. Travelling from your place to a big temple in another state and standing in an endless queue just to get a glimpse of the god's idol when god is everywhere (even inside you) and all you need is some peace of mind and a pure heart with strong conviction to pray.
5. Going to a music concert and standing 4 km away from the stage not even getting enough area of ground to stand on and enough volume of air to breathe when you can rather throw a party with loudspeakers blaring those same songs on your backyard and dance your heart out.
6. Buying a music cd of 10 songs costing more than 300 bucks when you can download those same 10 songs from the internet and burn it into a cd and print out the front and back covers and add it to your music collection.
7. Buying a 200-page book for 500 bucks from crossword when you can get the same book from the streets of VT for less than 70 bucks. (Who gives a damn about piracy..)
8. Going to Essel world and sitting on the most chilling roller coaster ride when you can sit on the back-seat of a rickety public transportation bus and ride through the roads of Mumbai.

#3- on the treadmill i know how far i've ran, how long it took me, plus the gym here on-post is free for us military types.
#4 i definitely agree.
#5 do you savi? do you dance your heart out in your room?lol
hey!!first time here and i love ur blog..
and about this post..well said and well written..personally even i think that doing all those things that u have mentioned are futile..
especially #4 and #7..

#3-I cant wait to join my new workplace. they've got a free gym there too..:-)
#5-Yes I do dance my heart out in my room :)..doesnt everyone?? dont you??:)
@revathi
#4-you might have guessed..I was talking about Tirupati
@rashmi
#7-just cant digest buying a book for 500bucks and finishing it in a few days and seeing it lie in some corner of my room with dust and cobwebs all over it..
which dance are you talking about?
have long thought the same except the last 3 (i cannot say that i have not involved in #6 & #7 but i would surely not advocate that :) ). and yes, though public transport provides us with Rs.4 ka demo esselworld, I would prefer the 'full' version :)
if you can rotate the belt and generate electricity, then you will end up getting shock na, thats why people dont.
@Seshadri
Not advocating privacy?? looks like you too are planning to write a book..:)
@anonymous
good joke...:D
hahaha amusing!! agree with all your points! esp 4 and 8:)
hey savita, hello? nice post. there are really several such many things which we don't think on... but still they are thinkable..
hehe...kya ab har thought ke peeche selfish motive hoga kya??..and yes, i was talking abt 'piracy', not 'privacy'..un comment paaru..i hav nothing against privacy..:)
