Being Fat.

I am Fat. Thank God.

I like Being fat.

you see..... im fat because i KNOW a good bitter chocolate and JUST the mostest perfect wine that goes with is.
Im fat because i can down eight whiskeys, and then proceed with the rest of the evening.

Im fat because i know that there are 16 different cultures , histories and techniques of biryani in India itself. Im fat because i can have daal-bhaat and a rogan josh in the same breath, with the same amount of love and craving.

im fat because i love Billy Joel and Herbie Hancock, instead of Armin.
Im fat because i can read non stop for a week... and still not feel like im not getting any exercise.

Im fat because i can go to Dhaka on a train, and take a Bullock cart to Jullundher.
Im fat because i can walk aimlessly , happily for as long as i can, and still not get tired.
Im fat because i read about Venice, over a breakfast of a belgium omlette and choc milk shake.... because i read amitav ghosh and have a full on Gujju lunch, topped with a glass of the white. ill have a Soorpi Chai at 4 pm as i read of the Bombay Flamingoes. and i shall have a lovely dinner with all of you with my new CD of some Polish Jazz... ( no i dont know the language... but i like the band)

im fat because when i do Yoga, im a one man zoo.... and not Indian rubber. What fun would stricly disciplined Yoga be? So i get to explore the different animals in me, and i walk away with a good stronger back. that's Yoga for me.

Im fat, because my character and intelligence is much more that a backless halter would contain. ( PS: yes the physics of such garments is TOTALLY unreliable.)

im fat.... because i do so much, and i allow it to be a part of me... and i allow it to show.
i LIKE being fat. it makes me different.
thank-you.
