PT times ( "painful" walk to polo ground contd)
At the blow of the whistle, all of us are expected to arrange ourselves according to our groups and roll numbers. Then our physical instructor goes "kamar ke upar hath"( hands on your hips) and there begins my massacre, where iam stretched,washed and wrung. I try my best to evade as many steps as possible,as do most of my friends, barring a few Usain bolt wannabes. we do the exercises for half an hour and then begins the -JOG. I'v been bunking the jogs eversince LKG and here iam at 6000 feet above sea level at 6.30 am in the morning, jogging at the polo ground (shame on my legacy !). the joggers again are divided into 3 groups - The "usain bolt" group, the 'walkwala group" consisting of the injured,niggle carrying people and then finally the 'vijayakarthikeyan" group -who are coerced to run. Initially it was 3 rounds, then increased to 5 rounds and now its half an hour of uninterrupted jog and god knows what they are going to do next. On some days, after the drill, instead of jogging, we have "conditioning " treks ( wonder why they are so obsessed with treks) After the session is over, 'centre close' calls our instructor we all buzz, bump into each other and get closer to him.Then he starts his "rawatisms" ( his version of the sidhuisms) Absentees are called out after that ( with memos and show cause notices promptly despatched to their lockers), then people who'v come without shaving ( we are expected to shave everyday, that too before coming to PT- again damaging my legacy) are called up and made to do punishment push ups. There ends the PT and off we go.. On the way back, i usually chat and giggle with my friends and that makes the uphill task a lot easier. The sun comes out brightly in mussoorie by then, and I have to admit that at the end of it all, when i get back to my room, iam more brisk than being tired.
P.S - The 'usain bolts" dont get back to rooms after the PT. They go to GYM !
