Weight and Watch

A long long time ago, long before watching one’s weight reached fashionable proportions, we used to have a simple routine at home, that of measuring our weight every month…
Having hovered around the twenty and thirty kg mark for a long time, crossing the 50 kg mark was a big priority in my wishlist… But we humans are funny folk.. its been a long time since i crossed the magic figure, and now i exercise so that i can keep it somewhere close to that figure.. like the saying goes, the more things change the more they remain the same…in childhood, it was about increasing the weight till it reached there, and now its about decreasing it…
however, i have always wondered when exactly the body weight increases, when exactly was it that i crossed from 49 kg to 50 kg…. like the movement of the hour hand of a clock, we never manage to know the exact moment… not for any particular purpose, just curiosity…
until next time, wait a second, and think about it….

    I remember a photograph that was taken when you landed here for your entrance exams. I was struggling to cross 49, and you weighed well over that. Atleast, that is how you looked.

    So you are claiming you weight less than me? Less than 60? Rot!

    As for steroids, what do you think attributed to the recent weight gain? :->

    My dear fellow, you cannot be 57. Your scales must be mis-numbered or broken!
