Hello readers,
As a blogger and online hustler, I spent most of my time sitting in front of my PC and as I am not currently doing any job, I don't have to go outside every day unless I want to and after spending years in this cozy lifestyle, I am getting pretty used to it and nowadays, I don't even feel going outside every day and always find something to spend time on the internet. As time passed, my interests have also slowly grown into watching Movie and TV series rather than going out to watch movies or spending some Nature time at parks, trying new dishes or my favorite ones in the nearby restaurants or street food carts or just roaming around Shopping Malls with my Wife. Now, as a result, my health status is also going down and I am starting to grow symptoms that I didn't have in me before at all. First of all, I am gaining weight! Since my childhood, I have been a skinny guy and even in my mid 20’s I only weighed 50-55 KG, of course all the people surrounding me including my relatives, friends and even sometimes my Parents used to lecture me in my physics or simply used to pass bullied words. But now that I am gaining weight finally when near 30, they are taunting me into getting lazy or getting fat. What an Irony eh..
But however, while still ignoring their words as I have always since my childhood, I am experiencing some health issues in my body - like getting weak after walking for half an hour, sweating like melting ice which I am experiencing from this summer or lacking energy to do any activity, mood swings or getting irritated for small reasons. Now, I confess I do not maintain a healthy lifestyle and I never looked at my personal health because living in a third-world country and belonging to a poor family, since childhood all I was taught was to earn money and bring food to the table. But now, as I am aging and experiencing the consequences of my ignorance on my body, I am finally feeling a need to change my daily activities and lifestyle. Today, while I was surfing my phone gallery and watching old photos that I captured on different occasions and times, I felt so happy remembering those old memories in this post, allow me to share some of those pictures while I continue to convince myself to change my bad habits and introduce some healthy practices in my life to make me healthy.
This is a random photo that I took while roaming around the famous Park Street toad Bazaar in Kolkata city last year during winter time with my Wife. The Christmas event was getting close and the market was full of people shopping, eating food and enjoying a good time there just like us. While going by the street shops that sell generic items from phone covers and tempered glasses to clothes and wall posters, I suddenly found this unique seller selling action figures, toys and other goodies and if you look closely, you can surely find your favorite comic character in there I guess. The seller has a very good collection of toys and while I quickly identified some of them like Iron Man, Spiderman, Dragon Ball Z, Demon Slayer and some other characters, there are a ton of more that I haven't seen before. Now it was surprising for me as I didn't see a shop totally dedicated to selling only toys and action figures like This one before in this bazaar so upon discovering it for the first time, it really attracted me and I took a picture of the shop to save the memory. No, I didn’t buy any figures at that time but the shop is now loaded in my mind and hopefully, the next time I visit the shop, I will surely buy one for my PC table. Which one I should buy, any suggestions?
Another unforgettable memory that I have stored in the form of a photo on my phone is the one that I shared above. The time was 25th December and the whole City was celebrating Christmas and everywhere you go - from Shopping Malls and restaurants to Movie Halls or even Parks, the crowd was so thick that we were only seeing heads all around. That day I spent an amazing evening with my wife while visiting the South City Mall and as you can see from the pictures, the Mall was gigantic and well decorated with the Christmas theme and there was a Large red colored Christmas Tree at the Ground level and people were taking selfies of themselves or with their loved ones. There was also a fairy castle beside the Tree. The whole mall was filled with colourful LED lights and a large number of snowman cutouts were hanging from the ceiling and walls which added even more beauty to the overall theme.
There was also a large Food court and a Night Club and we enjoyed some delicious dishes at the food court, but we avoided Dancing at the club and came back home. I really enjoyed our time there and spent a great festive evening. We ate Momos and Pizza and also tried some unique snacks there that were so tasty that even today my tastebuds thank me. Now while seeing these images, I remember how active and cheerful I was even a year ago and now because of my lazy attitude, I am missing out on creating happy memories like these. So yes, I think it's time for me to change and bring out the joyful mango once again.
