The problem arrives when the focus takes a dramatic shift for other motives. Take the case of T20/ IPL. For the ardent cricket fan, a sweetly timed cover drive would mean much more than that ugly lofted swat! :)Vishalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901902300962335348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-76102709446356597722013-06-24T10:52:50.336+05:302013-06-24T10:52:50.336+05:30Lol at Sriram's comment.

I am baaaaaaaack ;)<br /><br />I was gone for a week to a yoga camp. The Om Pant is really,really, comfy and is a great chick-magnet. The fashionable "yogitas" simply adore a man with that pant on, and off.<br /><br />Nah! Who am I kidding. I don't need no Om Pant to attract stalkers of the female kind!!!<br /><br />Hey, marketing these kinds of outfits is nothing but Shakespearean--it was the Bard who observed that clothes make the man. So, whether we can do an asana or not matters very little as much as whether we can come across as "the man" when we wear an Om Pant. (Not related to that old politician, KC Pant!)<br /><br />BTW, too bad that Sharapova grunts, and grunts so loudly. Takes all her charm away. The lady doth [grunt] protest too much, me thinks!<br /><br />"Jafa Yoga" has a nice rhythm to it. Sounds like the next big thing after Om Pant ;)Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-60244482920802138422013-06-22T08:42:18.720+05:302013-06-22T08:42:18.720+05:30@RamMmm - Wonderful to see you back.
