#MorningWalk 01

Thoughts pop up like sperns racing for life, when I abandon all the machines I make use of and complain about, and put into use my body and work it like the most imperfectly perfect machine; the one with mind and soul, during a morning walk.  Chin up, the whole body errect and walking as straight and steady and possible. There are not many pleasing things than to step out of your home and smell the morning, hear the birds chirrup; two signs that the life is still worth it, and see some of the finest people around, who understands and executes the idea that life is no fun without sound health.

The experience of a morning walk, have a proportional relationship with any 'difficult task' that we have to perform in life. The initiative to take the walk is difficult, the first couple of rounds are a bit challenging, but when the body gets warmed up, the speed increaes and we enjoy the body moments and want to continue as long as time permits. Similarly, while performing the task, at first, we are at self-doubt, whether we should take up the challenge or not. Then while performing it, we are very calculative and perform it according to prescription. There are difficulties and doubts, but they are overcomed, and we feel comfortable and soon we start enjoying it.

While walking, when I look at elderly people walking faster than me or jogging, I just whisper a 'wow' to myself. It i such an inspiring sight. And even for all the other walkers/joggers, the speed doesnt matter, the fact that they have come out and chosen a healthy way of life is all that matters. Just like in life, what matters is keep moving ahead, at rapid pace or slow pace, it doesn't matter.; what really doesn't work is relinquishment, giving up.

The pleasure doesn't end in performing the task, the satisfaction on its accomplishment is what we seek, and an initiative from the very beginning. The five minutes after walking continuously for an hour, the sweat, the feel of the blood circulation and coming out of all the oils and fats, that we unfortunately can't live without, in form of sweat is very satisfying.

I am an occassional Walker.  I wish to have a proper routine in my life and walking would be one of the most joyous parts of the routine as it is truly a great exercise for both my body and mind.

What is to come?

A big hey to everyone using the world wide web!

I have been told by a several people to start blogging, and I reject the plea on the ground that I have nothing important to share. But, I realize that in the world of blogging, you sometimes have to take it easy; plan less and execute more. So, I am not going to do a lots of planning and thinking and coming up with nothing to share. I will just blog!

Although I have planned a few categories that my blog would have. These are.

• Straight from the heart posts: This is going to come. You know I am a poet. I have a lots to share about a lots of stuff. I would share an unaltered version of what comes to my mind and heart. Honesty guaranteed.

• Picture poetry: I have friends who are photographers and I have friends who draw, sketch or paint. A good picture speaks a thousand words. And I like adding a few words of myself to them. This experimentation can provide results I myself can't imagine. Visual beauty guaranteed. 

• Announcements and Updates: I would use this blog to make announcements and sharing updates about my writing projects. My first book, Aman Arora Anthology Volume 1 just released this April. Holding the book was like holding my baby. The only difference is that it took several years to come since ihe point of conception. 

• Book Recommendations: I am not a hardcore reader, but I have read a few quality books in my life. i would tell you how I liked them.

• Movie Recommendations: Not a big movie maniac either, but I have seen a few good English and Hindi language films. i can recommend a few.

• Me and Teaching: I have chosen teaching as a profession. It is a noble field and there is so much to learn about teaching. I will share about my experience as a B. Ed student, teacher-training and actual teaching experiences. 

• Sketches: I draw sketches occasionally. It is the only artistic thing I do. I am not great at it, but I do it anyway. Visual beauty of this blog might suffer perhaps. 

•  My random lists: That is what bloggers do primary, right? I am going to share a few lists about things of my interest. 

• Lot more stuff I am not aware about right now: Let things flow, baby. 

You can tell me what would you like to read. Stay tuned.
