Zap potbellies with potholes

Getting tired of your potbelly? 

If you're like me -- a true blue Chapasthani, then you know how hard it is to find time for anything.

By the time you wake up, you're already late from last night's extra work that you had to put in to meet the deadline.

Then there is that simple thing known as jam, which you never liked on toast, let alone the road.

By the time the day starts, you're exhausted, stressed and famished.

So, off you go for some food and those greasy, calorific concoctions seem to linger forever in your potbelly.

Now, some wear it proudly, some try to conceal it while most are determined to do something about it.

So can anything be done?

Of course! You can join the gym. But where's the time or money?

I have the solution for you.

Why worry so much when the sidewalks and streets of our city are here to help us out?

Thanks to the relentless efforts of the city corporations and other government bodies, most of the roads are being dug up. If not that, the asphalt has probably vanished from the road next to your home, making rooms for potholes, craters and cracks.

Just hop on a rickshaw next time you step outside. The constant bumping, jumping and moving forward and backward -- it's the best exercise you can have in between your busy schedule.

The more your rickshaw hits the potholes, the more your potbelly gets the much needed workout.

If you happen to discard the bumpy ride and decide to walk, that's okay too.

The constant jumping on and off the sidewalks, sidestepping, pushing and shoving to avoid vendors, bikers, people, garbage and who knows what and on top of that, broken trails will surely do the job for you.

But wait, what if it rains? Then you're in for a treat!

You get to follow all the above mentioned steps and on top of that can add sprinting as a bonus.
