Send me to the gym – you’ll grow to be fit.

There is a fully ridiculous belief in India, and it has been ingrained within the minds of lot of adults.

If a man isn’t price anything, whiling away his time, not amounting to anything in life, resides on his parents’ resources, and never able to work for it, despite of all of the efforts from the family, then there may be a locally developed fast solution for him.

Get him married.

Yes, that’s the answer.

Sounds absolutely weird? It actually is, whenever you understand the logic behind it.

Acc. to the self-proclaimed genius uncle & aunties of India, the movement you get such a man married, he will likely be laden with additional responsibility of taking good care of his wife, and a few form of an fast inner realization will occur, and he’ll turn right into a hard working & responsible person.

Amazing isn’t it? Beyond all scientific and logical pondering?

Then we wonder why domestic violence cases and divorces occur, especially in such households. And I pity the girl, who’s getting married with dreams in her heart.

Same is the mindset of uncles and aunties, when you ask them about their kid getting obese. What’s the common answer, Gym Bhej Denge, Fit Ho Jaega (just send him to the gym, he’ll grow to be fit).

What?? Did I hear it right?

Send me to the gym, will you get fit? How?

It’s like saying, send the child to high school, and he’ll mechanically turn right into a genius.

Or start a business, you will likely be a millionaire.

If this logic continues, then all and sundry joining a gym will turn right into a world champion sportsman in a single yr.

All these amazing statements only come from mouth of an individual, who has never been to a gym of their life.

Had they been, they might have known the quantity of effort which fits into getting a fit and robust physique. The same effort, which fits in scoring good marks, or performing in any field in life.

Also, these are the identical individuals who, inside two weeks of their kids joining the gym, start taunting them, with statements like: “).

A powerful piece of request for such parents: try to visit the gym once, and see what your kid is doing. Talk to the coach, ask about his progress, is he regular, is he sincere. Your responsibility doesn’t end after paying the gym fees. Don’t you enquire about your kids progress from the college?

Better, try to join the gym along with your kid. You need strength training and regular exercise, as much as your kid does. That could be the most important motivation for him.
