Happy New Year!

i simply love being on the beach.

as always, the decision to have a welcome the New Year's at Pondicherry was a last-minute thing!

we sure did have a great time!  needless to say, we spent more time on the beach than out of it, and i've got myself seriously sunburned from spending way too much time alternating between the ocean's salty water and Pondicherry's hot sun...

i'd like to thank my brother for the numerous pictures we shot there.  as you can see, i love posing for the camera.  call me conceited, but hey, i have a body that most people would die for!  and this body didn't exactly happen on it's own... i've put in a lot of effort to get this way - i'll be damned if i don't show-off when i can!

enough of words.  i believe pictures speak a thousand words.  click here to see the web album.

Happy New Year, people!

 

 

 

ChristMasti! X-mas fun in Mahabalipuram...

my brother took us to a beach-facing hotel in Mahabalipuram to celebrate Christmas.

we hit the bottle at 11AM, and only stopped at 7PM!  man, we had a great time!  as always, we ended up on the beach, and in the water... we had so much fun, we never felt time go by...

as many of you know, the last few years were very trying for me and my family.  however, after a long time, i'm having a good time.

instead of a Santa suit, my brother wore a Superman outfit... maybe he really is a Superman, cause he actually lifted me on his shoulders!  and don't forget, i'm over 105 kilograms in just body-weight...

we were joined by 2 of my brother's colleagues, and they were a lot of fun too.  check out the photos, and you'll see what i mean!

peace on Earth, and goodwill to men... Merry Christmas, everybody!

HAT-TRICK! 3 Competitions & 3 Wins!! Amazing!!!

i guess the headline gives it away... yes guys, i bagged the Bronze in today's Bodybuilding Championship!

i'm so excited, i don't know what to say!  when i saw the other participants, i was filled with doubt.  many of them were in peak physical condition... besides, a lot of them were very experienced bodybuilders.  i'm relatively a fresher on the scene, and i never really expected to win a medal in today's extraordinary competition...

i guess fate had other plans for me.  thanks to my Trainers, Friends and Brothers for instilling me with tons of confidence and for being so supportive.

i couldn't have done this without them!

i have a lot of photos of this competition uploaded to Picasa online.  you will surely love them!

after this, i'm going to take a well-deserved break.  i'm exhausted from all the competing, and the strain of my stringent diet.  my brother has a lot planned for Christmas and the New Year... can't wait to join the fun!

Remember : No Pain No Gain!

Unbelieveable... I won again! Silver Medal in the University Championship!!

as conceited as it may sound, it suddenly feels like i've always been winning these competitions!  my second competition, and i bagged Silver, again in the heaviest weight category...

click here for the pix...

looks like the winds are suddenly favorable for me.  i'm glad i decided to get back into serious competitive bodybuilding.  these two competitions have been a true trial by fire for my mind, more than my body.  the toughest challenge is yet to come.

tomorrow will be the toughest competition ever.  the Muscle Maker's gym is organizing a Chennai Vs. Kancheepuram bodybuilding championship that sees hundreds of participants annually.  in association with Atelier's Fitness, they are a serious crows-puller... it seems actor Sarath Kumar will be at the venue too!

all-in-all, i'm really happy about my 2 consecutive wins.  it suddenly doesn't matter if i don't get a medal or a trophy tomorrow.  i just want to kick back and get some much needed rest and rejuvenation!

for now, that still remains a far away dream... i've forgotten what fresh cool drinking water tastes like, and i yearn for a decent serving of rice and meat!

wish me luck.  i'll need every bit i can get.

Another Competition Coming Up...

on the 11th of December, i'll be participating in the University Championship.  there won't be multiple rounds, and the session should be over pretty quick.  all the participants will be college students under the aegis of the University, so it shouldn't be too tough...

i've still got my fingers crossed.

WINNER!!! Mr Chennai 2009 - Bronze Medalist!

i won!  i won!!  i won!!!

my first competition in years, and i won the Bronze Medal in the heaviest weight category (90+ kilograms).

with almost 100% of my body-water drained, just standing up was an impossible task.  despite the poor tanning job, i still stood apart in the crowd, and many people came over to appreciate my physique.

my trainers, Dinesh & Rajesh, were not very impressed... just like the stereotypical coach!  they believe i could have done better.  for that matter, even i know i can do so much more.

but, hey!  it is my first competition, and i'm so glad i won.

enjoy!
