baleh baleh baleh!!!

A typical saturday afternoon in the life of ms epiphobic goes like this : she wakes up and faces 3-5 toads depending on how many of them oversleep (ie : simply refuse to wake up and come for tuition). Then after counting down for exactly 2-3 hours, she finally gets to have lunch which consists of grapefruit,celery and carrot sticks. RITE. after that extremely light and healthy meal, one naturally is bound to feel rather sleepy. of course. so she walk-a-jogs from the dining table to the bed room - note : she would like to run for a longer distance, but but she finds that usually 5-6 skips/steps gets her there, afterwhich she does a long distance leap and lands straight on the bed.
After a much needed nap she wakes up refreshed and all set for yet another healthy minimalist meal.
But today was an unconventional sat afternoon.
unheard of in the history of epiphobic.
coz epiphobic is also too comfortable in her comfort zone, and does not like change.
Today, epi found herself boinging her way down to the YMCA, in the middle of a rainy afternoon, to attend a bhangra-aerobics class.yup, you read that right.
bhangra plus aerobics. both of which do not feature in epi's book of things to do on any regular day, let alone a sat afternoon.
mind you, we were forewarned. the sign read : it's idiot proof for ppl who don't have 2 left feet, and who have a sense of rythm. which is why epi should have about-turned and waddled home.
but thanks to yogajunkie and poohbear, she didn't.

we were a motley, i mean ahem, an enthusiastic 3some doing with alacrity and spirit, our own versions of bhangra and aerobics. Yogajunkie, thanks to all her wild bhangra night sessions and dancing em nights away, looked pretty good and had the right moves...at the end of it, she was as pink as her pink op t-shirt, radiant and beaming frm ear to ear - possibly still elated that she had finally succeeded in convincing epi to crawl out of her comfort rut (read : make a blithering piddlesqueak of herself) ..pooh was no bhangra-wallah but she looked funky enough lah,pretty groovy and next to epi, who convulsed more than she danced and moved right when everyone moved left, pooh looked quite good. pooh & yagajunkie looked so good infact, that epi looked at them in the mirror rather than at herself.epi, in short, looked like she was dancing an exotic fusion of bharatanatyam,bhangra and breakdance. or so she would like to think. someone watching her though, might be quite convinced she was having an epileptic attack right in the middle of the dance floor.
in retrpospect, this has been pretty much a groundbreaking (er...no pun intended) start. At the end of the sessions, epi hopes to be :
a) a qualified star bhangra babe
b) visibly slimmer
c) not secretly plotting to murder pooh and yogajunkie
perhaps she will discover she doesn't have 2 left feet afterall.if nothing else, for once in her life, at least she would have tried something diffferent..she would have actually gotten out of her comfrt zone and done something she would never have dreamt off. she would have for the 1st time felt like she was merely paying lip service whenever she said 'carpe diem' to someone else.
and i guess we've only got pooh and yogajunkie to blame for that :p

who knows...perhaps in the uncertain future...she might actually realize her longtime dream of being able to write a funny and lighthearted blogpost.coz today she has learnt, anything is possible, and there's always a 1st.
see yal next week my dear bangrrraa-wallehs!!
