Thanks for all the enthusiastic response…Most of you feel it’s not cool to mix movies and cricket with politics. There were a few who felt if the countries are at war, we should not encourage ties like this but here the problem lies within the countries. Both countries are facing the same issues, its not just cross border war …you hear of blasts everyday in Pakistan as well and now the recent Pune tragedy in India with all those young innocent lives lost, I’m really disturbed by it…my heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved families.
Talking about life… comes along with it fitness, a subject very close to my heart as you all know. I’m right now extremely excited about the upcoming Cyclothon in Mumbai on 21st Feb. Have been always fond of this sport and been cycling to shoots for years. My first cycle was a Speed king followed by a BSA and now I ride a Raleigh. As a kid, my friends and I were so passionate about cycles, we used to even build our own cycles. The strange thing is while growing up, there were cycle shops everywhere, now so difficult to find one…no parks, no playgrounds...to top it all no cycles!
Where do the children in this city go...the Cyclothon is something to get them started and interested in this activity and all the kids in my family are going to participate. There are so many reasons one should take up cycling. A person who doesn’t have a car or some where cannot afford one usually takes an auto or taxi which costs him more and takes longer in traffic hours to travel. If you can cycle around 15 kms a day, you don’t have to work out, cardio ho jata hai, exercise ho jata hai, stay fit and save money. As it is, we are living in a polluted environment, cycle to work everyday, cut on diesel and petrol. If Salman Khan can cycle, so can you! It’s not embarrassing and it’s healthy.
I am doing this for Being Human and the proceeds from the sale of Cyclothon t-shirts go to charity. And yeah, am not an ambassador for any cycle company. If I ever become one, I’ll make sure it’s as good as the cycle I own!
Well, waiting for my shot, call you guys back soon...right now Dabangg is keeping me fit!
