The "Murder Victim"


Everyone ought to face an embarrassment once in a while,even i did face one when i was in my X std.

I was half as lethargic in school compared to now. I used to bunk the drill exercises most of the time and on one occasion the school management arranged a yoga session by a famous GURUJI in the school auditorium. Just to save myself from the drill exercises in the heat i attended the session(actually i am foreigner to YOGA just as Sunny Leone is to acting). It started well and i found the session a bit amusing & interesting. We were made to do some asanas like Aekpādprasarnāsana Ākarṇa Dhanurāsana and a few other asanas. After a while GURUJI announced that he is going to wind up the session with Śavāsana(The Murder Victim Pose).

I found this Śavāsana to be very interesting so that i can happily sleep for few moments in my boring school. I closed my eyes and when i opened them back after few moments I found my teachers standing by me and all the students looking at me which made me to wonder if i was sleeping naked ???

After a few moments of escalated suspense i looked into my neighbors watch and found it to be 3.30 P.M then i rubbed my eyes and still found it to be 3.30 P.M. Now I realized that when everyone ended their Śavāsana by 3.15, i still continued to do it for an extra 15 min (actually i was having a A pro re Nata session of sleep).

I found myself to be embarrassed and the hilarious part of the story is after my moments of embarrassment GURUJI proudly announced that i was the only one who understood the real essence and meaning of YOGA because he felt i was not perturbed when the bell rang indicating the end of the session while others opened their eyes immediately. Meanwhile i stood there with a cheeky smile(till that time i committed a faux pas)

P.S Śavāsana is my favorite asana till date(actually i never did any yogasana after that day)
