I was in NCC in the college, but haven't followed any regular physical exercise except walking, at times. Intellectual engagement also gives a good pretext for avoiding physical work. After VRS from PNB in 2000, my sleep timings have turned erratic and episodic. So, instead of blaming my own will-power, I, conveniently, put the onus on biology and hormones.
Many are predicting that there will be no work in future due to AI and Robotics. But whether the requirement for physical exercise will go down is not known. In any case, yoga or gym don't seem to me as a normal human activity. Many types of sports too are bizarre affairs. Many things seem to be weird impositions in the name of civilisation.
Even in the case of music and dance also, reaching extreme levels is considered as excellence. Applying the Olympics spirit of competition everywhere is certainly an aberration. Performing at the average standard should be the norm instead of any self-torture method. The same is also true for many other aspects of life. https://x.com/SavitriEra - https://bsky.app/profile/savitriera.bsky.social

[Quite a good composition and well sung by Lata Mangeshkar but it is painfully screeching in the antara. Some find reaching higher notes a great feat but music must be comforting to the ears first; appealing to the musical grammar–mind comes later.]
