There are all kinds of walks that one can take to keep in shape. There is the evening walk, the morning walk, the treadmill walk, the brisk walk and so on and so forth. But all these are for the middle class pansies.
Now, what the Real men are into these days is the mother of all walks...the Walk Out.
Yesterday, the entire opposition in the Malappuram Panchayat walked out because the ruling guys were seriously enthused about the nuclear deal and passed a resolution on it. (The long-term implications of the resolution on the national and international front is expected to be cataclysmic.) After about five minutes (the normal time period for which the moral outrage of a healthy Kerala politician lasts), our troopers walked back in...only to walk out few minutes later because the ruling boys went into resolution overdrive and passed one against Jeevan and his now-famous quest for a Secular education. Now, that is some quality exercise.
I am sure that the day is not far when Jai Hind TV (quality entertainment by Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee)will have an exercise segment with our venerable Opposition Leader extolling the positive effects of the Walk Out on cholesterol and blood pressure. Of course, the other half of the programme will be taken up by Mr. Hybi Eden (the Young Turk that leads the not so Youth Congress)demonstrating more rigorous exercises for the youth,including the right way to exercise that back muscle by pushing hard against the barricade in front of Secretariat and developing those biceps with some quality stone pelting. Kairali TV (CPM + Mammootty = bad entertainment) had an idea for a similiar programme on the health benefits of the Party's mode of operation. But apparently somebody at the Information and Broadcasting Ministry told a puzzled Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan that a man is not very healthy after he is dead.

Brillianto mu derrida!!
LOL!! :))
Very nice - love the last line. Even the bridal post is fantastic!
man, i tell you. some years back there used to be this guy called g.k.muppanar (don't think the spelling's right though). he had broken away from the congress and formed the tamil manilla congress. now being in tamil nadu, everybody knows how "strong" the congress was/is. now, imagine a breakaway from that.
he was only famous in a couple of villages where he would go and spew his stuff, and have a frenzied crowd following of maybe (if it were his lucky day) hundred people.
i think those days it was the indian economy on the rise thing. remember that "third front" government that had like three PMs in two years or something? well. from those days of "near frenzy" in villages around coimbatore, he became a "veritable" force in the third front, and was even propped up as a prime ministerial candidate.
shit. that was perhaps his only brush with fame.
anyhow, the point that i was trying to make is this: indian politics is weird. period. these small town resolutions somehow, crazily enough, have the potential of making it to the national front.
imagine.
@pooja: thank you, great traveller and sports fan, from a guy who is neither and is very very very ashamed..
@a hairy snail: It is weird and funny..so funny that suddenly you have no idea who is laughing at whom..and that...is scary
