I was a complete gym freak and I worked out almost 7 days a week. My workout routine was jogging for 45 minutes, thrice a week and weights training 3 days a week.
Even on most Sundays I would land up jogging. To intensify my workout I joined a kick boxing class. It was quite strenuous and to be better at it I became my own task master. I used to feel so great after every class for I was able to do more. In one of the kick boxing sessions I developed a severe lower back pain while doing the high kicks. I didn’t pay much attention to it and continued my work out as usual. Then one day at work I couldn’t sit, something felt wrong. My colleagues immediately took me to Bombay Hospital and after checking me, the doctor said that I had a slip disc. I didn’t believe him, but on that same evening I met another spine specialist who confirmed the same. He also explained the first treatment for slip disc is complete bed rest. I was petrified to hear that, yet I tried to delude myself that it will be over in 15 days. But destiny had planned a new beginning for me that couldn’t be fulfilled with 15 days of bed rest.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
