Apart from laying siege to yoga with a revenge, we’ve taken up every fitness fad that was ever invented. While earlier there were cardio workout DVDs that friends and relatives brought from abroad, we soon had our own local gyms, where we headed to sweat it out, though elders couldn’t fathom why a run in the park couldn’t suffice.
