Why I love Pradeep Rawat - and GHAJINI!!
The first an actor you've probbaly never heard of, let alone like, dislike, admire, follow or not ...
And the latter of course an Aamir Khan (we've all heard of him!) starrer - Bollywood potboiler - and though yours truly doesnt do Bollywood, Tollywood, or Holllywood - quite frankly I dont care for the crap coming out of ANY of these (these days) - if you ask me what my favorite Bollywood flick of all time is?
I'd choose this one.
Why ?
It's not one of Khan's most acclaimed works, for one. It was panned by the critics big time. It's a remake of a Telegu movie I believe, or Tamil, and THAT was a remake of the Memento, I think ...
But it's a massive box office GROSSER (was, and still is).
It brought the masses to watch it like nothing else did!
And while Pradeep Rawat might be and often is mistaken for his damn near look alike in Taare Zameen Par (now the critics loved that one!) and while Dangal and 3 IDiots are Khan's more acclaimed works - for me?
Ghajini forever!
I hope they do a remake.
Sequel, I should say.
But anyway Dangal is the wrestling movie ya'll have all heard of, where he makes his daughter wrestling champions in uber traditional India, and 3 Idiots - well, I didnt quite "love" the movie to be honest - just normal!
Taare Zameen Par was the first one I watched while dating my wife (and groping her apparently - naughty me).
Great concept I thought, but again, not a movie I'd remember - the critics did tho, and still do!
But Ghajini, and Rawat - the latter brings menace to the role of the villian like NO-ONE Ive ever seen before in Indian cinema, not even the great Amrish Puri (famed villian of yore, no longer with us on the earthly plane).
I dont know how. Maybe it's Khan's famed perfectionism shining through there. Goo don him!
He's a legend in India.
But Rawat, especially when he keeps getting pissed over the "patient with short term memory loss trying to kill me - I'll SHOW YOU!" flanked by menacing looking burly GOONS (apes) is one to watch!
The sheer menace he brings to the role is in my opinion unparalleled, except for Anthony Hopkins in the "Silence of the Lambs" series...
And back to the movie - it's non stop action from the word GO - and it's BRUTAL - right from the moment Khan sticks a pipe into a baddie, and finishes off by smashing the chief villain's skull in - literally.
Gory, yes.
Visceral, yes.
Not so much that you can't watch it though - and again, thats why I loved the movie - ACTION!
And, as a friend said about Rambo II when he first saw it
"Perfect Movie! It has romance, a little, not too much, and plenty of masala action!"
Thats Ghajini to a T done professionally like only Aamir can.
Right down to the 12 packs he sculpted at the age of almost 60.
I must admit, though Aamir looks great in the movie, I'm not a huge fan of that look.
He did a fine Sly STallone I'd say - but he missed the crucial "work the forearms and traps like nobody's business", while focusing on the FRONT of the body - and dont get me wrong - maybe thats what he wanted to do!
But Sly is Sly - and in my own unhumble opinion - on a different plane altogether. There is NO-ONE like him - man's a true legend - and no, before you ask, I don't support Rambo being remade with an Indian actor Tiger Shroff in the lead, because - not because I dont like "Tiger", but because ... legend cannot be duplicated, and I believe my words will be proven when and if the remake occurs.
Anyway ...
In Ghajini, the man is a "MOM" man on a mission.
Much like Denzel, another legned in Man on a Mission ...
And he's out to catch the baddie, and thats all he thinks about, eats, sleeps, dreams and has tattoeed on his body.
He wakes up.
And what he does next?
He jumps into pushups!
Then treadmill sprints!
Then pull-ups.
Some of them are done in a way I wouldn't advocate.
But still, you dont see him boobying around at all in the workout scenes.
And that, my friend, is part of what he did in REAL life to get that look too - along with a solid diet.
So thats that on Ghajini - if you're into action - find it with subtitles - and watch!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
My two favorite James Hadley Chase novels!
... That I'd highly recommend to YOU, my friend.
Now, I dont know if you the reader is a James Hadley Chase fan, but I am.
And much like all the other writers I sometimes recommend (with good reason, I might add), no, I dont get anything from mentioning Chase, or Napoleon Hill, or Claude Bristol, or.....
They're the greats!
Anyway, without further ado, two of my favorite Chase books -
"Believe this, you'll believe anything!"
And "Consider yourself dead!"
I think I've mentioned both before - yes, I have, on the other site.
But briefly, the SECOND one is the one I'd choose if I really, really had to choose my friend.
The first one is a prime example on ...well, women and their "follibles" if thats even a word.
And if you're eagerly waiting for the book on Nazi feminism which a lot of you are, you might do worse than read what "Vidal", the "ape like tycoon" in the book says about women, when he does, and how he does.
When she's complaining about some inane stuff, he ignores her.
When she's ranting about "illness", he tells her she needs to spend more time exercising.
And while the soft sop Clay Burden does his best to be a "cuck" and put up with all this, eventually he realizes he's been played for a FOOL.
A prime sucker!
The story of course is something else.
But the book is a great read even if you're just interested in women in general, hehe.
And the second?
It's even more brutal!
GRANDI!!!!!!
The Italian tycoon who'd do anyting for his daughter, even one that is mentally sick in certain regards.
And Frost, the tough ex army, ex cop ... six feet something lean and mean machine who does NOT scare no matter what.
Lu Silk, the hired gun ...
It's a classic - but for me, the way Grandi goes out of his way to do ANYTHING for his daughter, his PRincess, his little girl - that resonats with me!
Big time.
Anyway, James Hadley Chase wrote books with tough men, beautiful women, flashy cars, lots of booze and cigars, fist fights, murders and more.
Those were different times.
Not sissified times like now.
Those were times when men were REAL MEN and women were real women as opposed to the parody of either they've become now (I mean either!).
And it was a "get tough or else" time.
My workouts, my friend, are a throwback to THAT era.
Yes, you either love me or hate me.
And my workouts are a throwback to that era.
Brutal, down to earth, simple, and do they work?
Heck yeah - and they'll make MONSTERS out of MEN if you let it!
And on that note, if there ever was a course like that - it is this - Animal Kingdom Workouts.
I'm still feeling it, a good half hour or so after my shower!

"Hello. Are you a author or a writer"
I received an interesting one from Vicky in China - though I've no idea why she sent it over.
(Hopefully not "monkey writing jobs" - one can never tell with these idiots).
(On that note, I recieved another wacko WeShat message from another "Vicky" - also in China - asking me for the nth to do dancing monkey jobs which I simply won't. Ugh).
But anyway, THIS Vicky (the third one was the one that called foreigners "cheap" and what now while being the first in line to snap up "red packets" or other stupidity - basically a female version of the Bozo) .. actually asked something decent!
And it made me pause and THINK.
Because it's the first time I've been asked that!
hello
are you a author?
?
?
?
?
?or writer
Well ...
If you were to ask me off the bat?
I'd say writer.
Then I'd pause and say PUBLISHER.
Because to me, there is a huge difference between a writer/author, and a publisher.
In all my writing ventures I call myself a PUBLISHER for the most part, although "who I am" is a writer, to me.
But in actuality, I didnt really know the difference between a writer and author, and never bothered to find out.
To me, it boils down to "if you write a book under your name", you're an author.
If you publish it, you're both.
and if you just write, well, you're a writer ..
Other than that, I'v enever stopped to consider it!
And I wonder why she's asking me that.
But it brings that ole story up about piegon holing, which I hate.
"Starving author"
"Foregin devil"
"He doesnt go to an office so doesnt work"
"Drink beer and send emails"
"Just bodyweight exercises, so of course they're useless"
"How can pushups build any strength" ...
Or any of the other things one "automatically assumes" which in reality are the exact opposite ...
Why someone would ask me what she did is beyond me.
Maybe there's a reason. We'll see!
But for the fitness side of things?
Bodyweight exercise guru - and someone that does it - and keeps it real - and encourages, even exhorts YOU to do the same!
Anyway, this is a quick one.
Maybe I'll write more on it later!

P S- Remember, the BIGOFFER discount code expires TODAY - so if you want it, get on the ship NOW.
The one sentence that caused a conflagration!
This morning, I uttered ONE sentence
All I did was ask - very politely.
ONE line.
6 words. (in a language still apparently "20% alien to me")
I didnt demand.
I didnt ask.
I didnt ...well I DID request, and what I asked for was paid for by me, I'm the one that has always been "using it", and ...well, the specfics aen't important, and they make nil sense, so much so that Bozo Schofield for once would agree.
But lets swtich tack!
A couple of years, or maybe more ago, the Trumpinator made the following comment about a (I believe at the time over the hill) German model "Heidi Klum".
She's no longer a 10, or something like that was ALL he said.
Thats it.
And the social media FRENZY that one line whipped up - oh my!
SJW's, bozos, white knights, virtue signallers, Nazi feminists, regular feminists ... oh my!
It was like he started WWIII for something he said, and then forgot most likely.
Same thing with me this morning, and the aftermath.
"The one sentence that caused a conflagaration!"
It's always been that way with me, my friend.
When talking to idiots and morons, I rarely use more than a few words, if I talk at all.
Guess why Bozo Schofield was so pissed at me?
Because I complained to Charles at the time (his friend) that he was "driving me insane with his beat around the bush nonsense".
Of course, Charles despite knowing the looney tune Glyn is had to tell him.
And there starteth that "war" - though I dont want to dignify the term with the Bozo.
I'd rather fight a war with equals, hehe. Or those BETTER than me.
In which case if I lost, I'd learn!
But anyway, this is about what ... you ask?
First, a treatise on the mind I suppose if you can understand what I mean.
No?
Well, that ok.
"I'm a toxic male", I hear the women cry, while unsubscribing in droves.
Fair enough, sis.
But maybe the INITIAL section of Zero to Hero will explain it all - for those intelligent enough to read between the lines and those that want it.
Other than that, my wife made the following comment the other day I believe (or for the past few years).
"You keep going on about Trump and Modi!"
Well, I do dole out high praise when it's warranted.
(and actually, I rarely discuss politics or anything with her to be honest because anything remotely halfway logical "I'm now in a bad mood because of you!")
Not so much the latter as the former, though the latter is likely even more of a marketing genuis in many ways, and many ways not.
And I've been knowing for crisp criticism when it's warranted.
Thats it, my friend.
You either love me, or hate me. There's never been any "in between" from the age of 5 (so I've been told, hehe i.e. the minute I was old enough to actually SPEAK).
It's a natural thing ... to an extent.
ALL of us can develop this skill, and this, my friend is one of the keys to unlocking powet of any nature within yourself if you get my drift.
Some may say I'm speaking with forked tongues ...
So be it.
The upcoming book on Nazi feminism will (or should) explain it all.
In the meantime, in all the madness, remember the 30% discount code is STILL active and valid.
For a change, Mr Mercurial hasn't pulled it as yet.
But I might soon, so rush now and get your thang on while you can, because once its gone ... it truly is "gone with the wind".
Back soon!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS - The last TWO copies of Fast and Furious Fitness - The collector's Edition are sitting here, waiting to be sent out. If you want IN, jump on this NOW my friend.
Once they're gone, they're truly GONE.
My point in bringing up and calling out brazen stupidity the amount I do (sometimes!)
I know.
Stupidity exists everywhere, so we gotta ignore it. Which I do, really. For the most part it dont affect me none unless ...
Well, let me explain. Hehe.
Recently I heard the following from my cute little 7 year old (almot 8!)
"Dad, you are polluting the planet even more than the rest of the people!"
"With my farts", you mean, I joked back.
(running joke, kiddie joke that never fails to crack her up).
"No! Because you dont care about plastic polluting the earth!"
What she meant was I dont stand outside my home wherever I am in the world supporting Great Greta Thunberg whoever she is (idiot par excellence according to me) or what not, or cry up a storm about the oil pipelines that the Trumpinator authorized, that Biden then stopped, and that the States are now rightfully FIGHTING against (I mean really - employment, folks! And we have Hiden BIden wanting raise tax on corporates and what not! IDIOICY!) . . .
Anyway, she only said it because Joo Tube is brainwashing her ,but thats easily undone.
I did it and her mother probably has too. (hopefullt, hehe. You know how that goes!)
But anyway ...
In 2000, I believe this was ...
At an Exxon Mart in Mississipi run by a phat phock with jowls so big you could have been forgiven for thinking it was a bovine rumpus or what not, I went in to buy beer.
A 12 pack of Southpaw, I believe.
"You can't buy it with this", proclaimed dude, who apparently took a dislike to me the minute he saw me (I felt it).
White dude.
I asked why.
"We dont accept NY state driver;s licenses!"
I asked this idiot again just why not - I mean if it's only to card people ... and why the "Socialist Paradise of New York " with an admittedly FAR MORE helpful DMV than I found in MIssissipp for one (perhaps thats just my experience in Schentectady, I dont know) drivers license couldn't be used to card people.
"Look, Mister, it's a private store, you dont like , you can leave"
OK ...
As his cheeks turned purple or something, I left.
Girlfriend showed up.
Bought the beer.
With NO carding (though she was one of these gals that look 20 years younger than she is, and she was around 20 something, and looked not a day over 16...) ...
Then another incident, curiously enough again at Exxon. A subway there.
Apparently the admittedly gorgeous black dame prepaing the sandwich didnt do my ex's right, so she said later, and it looked kinda messy - I dont know.
Mine looked fine, but what do I know about dill pickles, mayonnaise or what not or even if it's done right.
All food goes into the stomach according to me, so if it doesnt "look good" then so what so long as it tastes good, but I do have to admit there was something off about the ex's sandwich, but I don tknow - bad hair day maybe, or maybe the two gals hated each other on sight.
LOL.
Third incident, again at Exxon!
Some fat white chick made the comment about my girlfriend and me aruging, and that (without knowing the history) I was "treating her like crap".
I wasn't. Neither was she.
We were getting into it Italian style.
"Private store, you can leave!" was how it ended.
We left, and went to the bar next door, continued the argument in the car.
Security dude came over and told us both "This is a private lot, so we'll have to ask you to leave" WITHOUT taking sides or giving a fig less about the argument.
Smart guy. Hehe. We both calmed down eventually.
But I dont know, I guess the reason I keep up bringing up cops, BLM etc. ?
It ain't to curry favor with anyone, I'll be damn sure about that.
Or I should say, I WANT to make sure ya'll know that.
Its because of this - people dont realize how good they have it sometimes ...
In China, they can literally arrest you and throw you in jail WITHOUT A trial for something you didnt do.
I ain't talking politics or political statements either.
Friend of mine I wont mention here got thrown in for six months in a hellhole because he "got into a fight and retaliated".
That is all, and he didnt start the fight. CCTV shows that.
Yet, in he went.
I wont mention his name here because his girlfriend is apparently still in the PRC.
He finally got deported and showed up back Stateside, and all is well since.
Then anotehr dude who was idiot enough to smoke reefer at a bar and proclaim that "his connections" would save him.
They didnt.
He is still in.
No names again - obvious reasons.
I wonder if people in general realize how lucky people are to live in a country, where EVERYONE, illegal included have RIGHTS.
Including apparently the right to vote illegally in certain states (dont get me started on "Dead voters"!)
And where the cops whether they like it or not HAVE To wear body cameras, follow a set procedure, abide by LAWS just as YOU need to, and so forth ...
Going by all the bitching and moaning I dont think they do.
Anyway , fitness wise, I dont know ...
The book on isometrics, for instance, has attracted plenty of people. DOERS ane the Bozos both.
The latter who keep carping upon the quality of the pictures and how its "just bodyweight exercises",
How dare I put out a book on isometrics, and it be about ... GASP! Isometrics!
And the former, of course the doers praising it and rightfully so by saying "what looks easy is anything BUT".
No prizes for guessing which side of the line I'm on - firmly so!
All for now.
I hope that explained why I keep bringing certain topics up - because I really, really think the cops get more flak than they should for one, and well, a drop in the ocean, I know, but every little bit COUNTS!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS - Two copies left for The Collector's Edition of Fast and Furious Fitness, Hurry, as this won't last foreever!
PS #2 - Most of the books are also in Kindle format now, not all, but 90 plus percent, and I'llbe 100 percent done soon.
Why sometimes a rational response to a seemingly irrational "unfair" something is the best way to go.
On Pinked-Oo I was reading something about a girl with like a bazillion followers, I believe, complaining up a storm about when she was in college (I assume), and the cops being called on her "because she was suspected of shoplifting".
Its a long whiny post, so I wont post either it or my response here, but in short, she had her receipt.
yet, she couldn't find it in her bookbag, was arrested, then on the way to the precient or whatever (I can'r remember exact details - but I'll point you to the post if you like) she "found it" miraculously and nothing happened, and she won a civil lawsuit, or what not.
I guess she was charged, then she found it.
My reaction was, OK, so you had the reciept, couldn't find it, then somehow found it later upon being charged (after being arrested apparently)?
I dont know ...
Something doenst ring true.
And I'm positive the men in blue would have given her time to rummage through her backpack, bookbag, handbag, purse and God knows where else for it before deciding to charge her!
But it brings to mind several incidents.
One, I was walking back "home" i.e .my dorm room from a late night coding session with a certain great pal of mine Bruce.
4 AM was the high time at the time, hehe.
I was suddenly flagged by a passing patrol car, and told to "stop" for no reason.
OK, so I did.
"Sir, I need to check your bookbag".
No reason given.
I smiled.
"Sure", and handed it over.
Dude almost looked embarassed.
"Thanks!" he said, and the very manner in which he said it made me feel he was sorry for having to "do it even though he didnt want to!"
(slow night? I dont know)
He did a cursory check, didnt inspect any of the outlying pockets, and handed it back with another thanks, and made off to get in his car as if to say "Sorry, now you can get back to the beer" hehe.
I shook his hand, thanked him, and asked him why.
It was about drugs.
Now, I COULD have wailed about rights, why they were stopping me for no reason, why they wanted my student ID and not my driver's license, and what not ...
But I didnt.
It's a vibe thing.
And it's basically "sometimes people think what they do for a reason, and it ain't because they want to either".
Then the incident outside Bond Hall.
I was right outside the dorm.
Suddenly, cop car pulls up.
Two beefy dudes (one looked straight out of King Kong, hehe) got out.
They said nothing except "Sir, you have to wait".
I was late for class.
I asked why.
No answer.
Tons of black dudes were passing by, and looking at us "we knew it" expression!
Me, I had NO idea and was somewhat irritated, but hey. Whatever.
5 minutes later they received a call or something.
"Sorry Sir!"
and they made off to catch the suspect who had apparenly bailed from some scene somewhere (so they told me before leaving).
I "fit the description" because, well, "el amigo, or hombre". LOL.
OK, not fair.
I could have waile dup a storm.
But really, why.
Isnt it just easier to co-operate and be done with a mess that clearly even the men in blue dont really want to do?
And even if they have "bad intentions" and you can feel it, there is obviously no point in fleeing or what not from the scene, whether you did something or not.
Stay calm, lose the battle, win the war, and court cases!
Common sense, my friend, seems to be sorely lacking in this BLM "arsonist" movement and many others (Antifa) and thats one reason apart from the idiocy I dont support what the movements have morphed into.
I understand others may have a different take, and thats fne, but I'm not going to shy away from saying it like it is - and that, my friend, is the bottom line on this one.
Off now - be sure and check out the book on isometrics here (getting plenty of attention as we speak!)

Rahul Mookerjee
More about why I am RUTHLESS about blocking (certain) people - and why we do NOT accept article submissions.
I really had to say this ...
Really had to!
But with inquires like the following -
Hi,
I use a wheelchair so my home has to be wheelchair-accessible. Unfortunately, finding accessible homes on the market can be challenging. That’s why when I decided to buy a home, I opted to do new construction and design a home that would work for my own and my family’s needs.
I’d love to write an article for your site on what steps to take when you decide to build an accessible home. I’ll include key factors to consider and tips on how to find the right contractors for the job.
Any interest in posting an article on this topic on your site?
Or, this -
Hi there!
Recently, my wife’s parents moved to be closer to us. My father-in-law, Dan, has been ill and my mother-in-law, Barbara, needed help caring for him.
The first step, of course, was selling their old home. It was full of years of memories, but also a lot of junk. We helped Barbara sort through it all, and now, they’ve settled into their new home with less stuff and more peace of mind.
Throughout the process, I’ve learned a lot about what goes into helping senior parents downsize. I’d love to share what I’ve learned on your blog.
Can I write an article for you? It will offer tips and advice on downsizing for seniors--how to decide what to get rid of, how to find the right place to live for your golden years (for some it might be a smaller home, while for others it might be an assisted living facility), how to make the moving process go smoothly, and so on.
Please let me know if you’re interested.
Thanks in advance!
... I gotta talk about that, and why I am getting even more ruthless about culling folks off my contact list, blocking people etc - by the day.
For those wondering, I haven't blocked either one of the folks above - - I just replied to them and told them they're bulk emailing, and obviously I'm a fitness guy, and therefore ...
Basically, I stated the obvious that they'd have known if they werent bulk spamming their stuff out.
"What I've learned on your blog"
Other than a sum total of zero, I dont know what he's learned! LOL.
"I’d love to write an article for your site on what steps to take when you decide to build an accessible home. I’ll include key factors to consider and tips on how to find the right contractors for the job."
Jesus, why, dude? LOL again. Why would I ever build accessible homes for myself? Ever heard of the Rolls Royce of Fitness programs that will keep all those "Demons" away from MY doorstep, hehe.
I thought it was only companies in India (IT) that did that! Maybe they've hired one of those companies, or ...well, who knows.
The DESPERATION shines through in certain cases ...
Anyway, I have NEVER EVER accepted article submissions so I dont know why folks ask.
Yes, when I started out it could have probably gotten me more site views etc, but thats not the long term vision I had for the site, or have.
The last thing I want any of the sites I own and do business wise to become is a "smorgsboard" (spelling, hehe?) of advertisements on various niches - no way - ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Definite line in the sand there.
Even if it's fitness guys - no.
I'd rather it stays just me.
The only exception I may make is for CERTAIN people I'll feature in my emails etc - but even then, I will be the one posting what they say, the feedback etc - but certainly no mass article submissions!
Heaven only knows why folks think that would interest me.
Anyway ... blocking, you ask?
I've made no secret of the fact that the more you remove what you dont want out of your life, the more that you DO want comes to replace it.
My recent WeShat list cull which is down to single digits now on most of the accounts, and less than 30 on the main account is proof of this.
I keep getting badgered daily by people who say "hey" and nothing else (hoping I'll reply, and I don't, so they can't push some junk on me or try to) - - or people that mass advertisment on the phone - - or, as I recently noted on Pinked-In, "marketing agencies looking to work with health coaches loking to double what not in x number of what not days on the planet Venus, or Mars, or I dont know which one!"
Men are from Mars, women from Venus. Hehe.
But anyway, Venus aside (I've written a lot about her!) ...
(and I gave her the name - both Venus's I've written about, so I do get to write about them, hehe).
I blocked the latest healh coach on Pinked In that kept relentlessly badgering me.
"X Marketing Agency" (I'm not going to give him free publicity by posting his name here)
He private messaged me a couple of times.
I didnt reply.
He kept up.
"Rahul, how about it!"
"Rahul, lets arrange a call!"
"Rahul, are you ready to scale! "
And other inaninities.
He took the maxim of (which I dont agree with fully anyway) "makin decisions for the client" to a whole new annoying level.
Like dude, really.
The desperation shows for one, and more than the annoyance, that is what I really cannot stand "desperate for business" vibe.
Not to mention the bad vibe which came off his post in general (the other two "seemed OK").
But even then, I figured my silence would speak volumes - but apparently not.
Obviously he's got piegon holed as a "coach" and he hasn't bothered to read anything I have said, written or done.
Both of which are attributes I dont particularly admire ...
So while the pioneering troll Bozo Schofield was the first to get roundly blocked everywhere, there's plenty of his posse, known or not that are as well.
I mean, really. Common sense.
Personally, I do all I can to not just stay away from these types but aggressively cull them off my list.
In some cases they sign up AGAIN with different emails, like the Bozo was doing for a while, and they get blocked again.
Now, on another great note - guess what!
Isometric and Flexiblity Training joins the very long list of books that is being translated into other languages - this time, Portugese!
A great guy in Brazil just sent me a few pages, and he's doing very well indeed!
And he'll be sending over a review for the book as well, which I'll be sharing with ya'll "by and by".
All happened today, so that pretty much proves "cull what you dont want, and invite what or who you DO".
And, on one last note, a customer recently sent me the following.
"I used to think MGTOW was a dumb idea -- but now I think they're the smart ones!"
LOL.
I can understand why he said that, and he's right in most regards, but MGTOW sometimes takes things to extremes too, but given the extremes that feminism has morphed into (its pretty become Nazi feminism) - I dont blame 'em!
But some of their principles I dont agree with i.e. staying "completely away from women", using dolls etc (dont get me wrong - if you dont miind that - all good - but for me, nothing really beats a live woman as it were!).
But, I'm WITH them and have been forever, actually - even before MGTOW became popular in terms of "living alone and trainig alone" like Mr T.
Far less hassle, that I will say!
(and I do agree with their "pay for it" if you want it maxim, since at the end of the day you "pay for it in one way or the other anyway", hehe).
Personally, if you were to ask me, I'd want the good ole days when MEN were REAL MEN and women were REAL WOMEN. Not so long ago, there was a time when ...!!
(I know that dates me somewhat. Does it? Hehe)
And I'm out. Back soon!!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
Why ALL lives matter, and not just "BLM"
An idiot on Shanked-In recently privated messaged me the following.
"I'm putting assholes like you on the list of people to ignore!"
By the way he - she - was wailing, I'd say she's a Bozo incaranate if not something far worse.
But anyway, my crime on this one?
There was some idiocy someone posted with a "yellow and black" arm linked togetther (remember that bit about "Asians and blacks dont get alone", or some such tripe - I'v eeven heard "Blacks and Hispanics" cant stand each other - the things people come up with - yes, if we're talkin gGANGS its true, but not everyone is a gang member!) to "show soliadarity" against oppression and no prizes for guessing which color was mentioned.
And of course, it doesnt surprise that a lot of middle aged white women and SJW's etc were up in arms supporting it.
I normally scroll past this BS.
But I couldn't resist.
I posted something to the effect of "I guess I'm misinformed and supporting racism by saying all lives matter? I mean, what do I know, eh. White privelege!"
I posted that in support of a (I think, not sure) white dude who was getting castigated for saying the same thing in different words.
Colors aside tho, here's my damn question.
Isn't "all" ALL ENCOMPASSING?
Doesn't all mean ALL colors?
Just how the hell is someone being racist by saying all lives matter?
Isn't racism "discriminating against someone based upon their skin color" (when you boil it right down)?
So then, if we carp on "just BLM" then - what is NOT racist about that?
Hey, I get it.
There's a reason BLM started.
I dont support what Derek Chauvin did, but I dont support defunding the FINE MEN IN BLUE (and most of them are great guys - barring a few wackos which you can find anywhere) - with whom I've always had good experiences for the most part (and most people I've known that are law abiding have as well) - or ranting against them or tarring them all with the "racist" brush.
Recently, there was a video being shared of a white officer offering a white suspect water.
And they were up in arms about that too.
WTF??? (the bozos claimed with black suspect they'd get kneed to the back - like, again, really - WTF?? Do white suspects not get that - I mean, I know TWO white guys that have suffered the exact same thing for one, and black guys as well!! Hispanic too!)
Do we want the US to turn into Communist China where they have NO real trials and you're guilty before (if ever) proven innocent and you just are left there to rot forever?
Believe me, I know people that have suffered that fate, and are suffering it now!
No this isn't to imply Orweillianism for everyone in China - if you toe the line and "play it safe" and stay on th right side of the line as I always have - it exists - you're not just fine, you'll enjoy your life there.
But the point is, you have to do what they want i.e. toe their lines, no questions asked.
Back to all lives matter - I'm yet to see how saying that is racist.
If someone can enlighten me, please let me know.
In the meantime, people that rail againt me saying it can keep railing, because I ain't gonna stop saying it.
Last, but not least, a couple of - or three things -
One, the reason Lumber jack Fitness keeps getting delayed is I keep thinking of new things to add into it. Hehe. I want to make this even more of a behemoth than Battletank Shoulders, for instance!
Two, we're open for business - for all colors, and creeds, hehe. We could care less. So says yours truly spiritual yet atheist.
And three ... were down to one (I think, not sure) copy of Fast and Furious Fitness - the Collector's edition.
If you want it, jump on this NOW because I ain't gonna do a reprint for that edition.
I'm out.
Back soon.

PS - Huge thank you to Phil again for his thingy on ebooks etc -- I already knew of the software, but it was only after his recommendation I used it, and it works great from what people are saying.
Kindle issue solved!
(except for the books I havent converetd as yet).
The one question ALL the employers I got along with NEVER asked me (back when I did full time jobs)
It wasn't about salary for sure!
Ole Freddie made the comment about how I dont work for cheap.
He was right.
And he made the comment about "you sure don't care!"
At the time I had just gotten "laid off" (so they claimed) from my first expat job In China - - and I did NOT want to leave china, but unfortunately had no clue on how to do my own thing, and of course, Michael aside no-one would tell me, and of course it's something that only being in the trenches can really teach ya, and ... well.
So I looked for another job.
What I devoted the most time to - a community website - finally ended up resulting in me meeting Freddie on that very site and getting the job!
But it wasn't without nerves.
My visa was about to give out.
I didn't know how to get another (I had money, but no invitations etc).
Freddie was a cool, casual sort too.
And though I probably should have badgered him a lot about the position, three days or so before all hell would have "normally" broken loose, I was sitting around in a sauna with a certain Aa Ling.
"It'll happen", I remember thinking as she ... ah, I dont think I should get into THOSE details here, but I remember thinking "all will be well".
Two days later, Freddie called me, and the ball was set .. in motion!
Anyway, the questin isn't about past work experiences either.
It isn't about my work ethic, or anything.
No the one question - and I believe I've written about this before, and I gotta, I dont know why, write about it NOW again - put more emphasis on it as it were they di nOT ask me (and all the idiot Bozo employers DID ask me)?
"Where do you see yourself five years from now".
"Why are you applying for this job?"
And other inane B.S but the first is what I want to address.
I've always wanted to shout out loud "dude, what do YOU care".
YOU should be focused on what I can for YOU and YOUR COMPANY!
And I always felt these idiots were a bad fit, and they didnt really want to hire me, and such.
Aside from this though, let me tell you somethign.
Most people can't tell you where they want to be five hours from today, let alone make up their minds about five years.
The minority that does claim "they know where they will be in 5 years" likely won't make it, because their five year goal is usually something so huge that they never take any action on it at all.
It sounds good, but ... does it happen?
Usually not.
The sign of a DOER my friend is one that keeps his goals to himself - gives some BS "swat away" reply if asked about them - understands the sheer negativity that permeates from telling the world FIRST and doing later (the opposite of what Napoleon Hill recommended in Think and Grow Rich and all his books, and with good reason - Claude Bristol said "go and tell no man!") and most importantly, visualizes himself down the line, but takes ACTION daily!
Believe me, I didnt start out writing the amount I do now in 2010.
It was one email a day, perhaps two.
A book occasionally.
Now I damn near write tomes daily.
Small steps, my friend are what lead to massive action eventually.
It ain't about jumping out of your comfort zone INITIALLY - you EXPAND daily.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with that one single step, and the employers with sense knew this.
They also knew that it makes great sense to hire the PERSON, not just skill set.
They knew this was a guy who'd be a self starter and DO without being trained or told - and my boss at that job said as much many a time!
And so it should be, my friend, for fitness too.
If you're currently at beached whale status, setting a goal to do 500 pushups per workout may scare you.
Fair enough.
Why not set a goal to do 10 pushups - celebrate that accomplishment - then ONE pull-up - do the above for ten days - then rinse and repeat and do the SAME thing again, except slightly higher rep counts?
If you just sit and think though that "it's too far off" - you're setting yourself up for failure.
Sure, huge goals motivate SOME people that accomplish them too.
Yours truly happens to be one of them, but I've got reason behind my motivation in most cases!
Not everyone is a Ford, or Edison (not saying I am either, but my point stands) or Bezos, so driven to achieve that ... well, you know what I mean. One email a day turns into 10, so many that even my customers feel overwhelemed, hehe.
Key is to take SMALL steps - and incrementally increase those steps.
Do this, and you'll be surprised at how quickly success starts gravitating to YOU!

PS - There are exactly TWO copies remaining of the Collector's Edition "glossy cover" Fast and Furious Fitness. As I've said, when they're gone, theyre GONE. No, I wont be releasing this edition again, so jump on this NOW if you want IN, my friend.
A sure shod sign of POVERTY conditioning
I've often said that like attracts like.
Fitness wise, life wise, in all regards . . .
And money, my friend is no different. It's actually (as Napoleon Hill) said much like a "beautiful maiden you're wooing" (in terms of the tips and techniques used to woo the same).
(Think and Grow Rich, and no, I dont get anything from mentioning HIll as often as I do and yes I'll keep mentioning him, and yes, I pulled the discount, and ... OK, but more on that later).
I never fail to be AMAZED - and stunned at the number of people I meet, not just today (these days) - but over a period of years, that when asked "how's business", get back to me with either one of the following.
"Its great!"
(and then they pester me for hours about buying their latest product or what not, run after me galore, and so forth which makes me think they have NO business at all)
Or, this (more common apparently).
"It's OK, but times are tough!"
Amazingly enough, people say this when times are NOT tough.
I cannot tell you the number of times I've heard people say "hey, we're doing GREAT!" (less than the number of fingers on my left hand, I'll say that. And right too).
Apparently it's kosher to "hide" that fact?
Ditto for those with money claiming times are tough, and wanting bargains on everything, and so forth (note - there are SOME people for whom times ARE tough, but by no means is the majority of people).
I dont know ... personally, me, I've never shied away from saying the following.
"I'm doing well sitting at home making money"
And if not?
"Hanging in there, going up, up, and up!"
(Nah, Bozo Schofield not that kinda up).
Is there some sort of perverse satisfaction to be gained from doom and gloom mentality?
I Dont know, my friend, but as Claude Bristol once famously said in the Magic of Believing, depressions were and are created by THINKING.
As we think, so we are.
I realize people dont believe this, but it's TRUE if you think about it.
And when I see people with money saying "It's SOOO Tough for us! Business is terrible!" (while they're getting raises etc quietly) - it makes me wonder.
Curiously enough, the money these people have doesnt "stay with them".
It's always flowing out somehow ...
As we think, so we ATTRACT.
Why not think POSITIVE, my friend?
Why not try and remain UPBEAT?
And most of all, why harbor a scarcity mentality when there is absolutely no need to?
Sure, yours truly isn't a millionaire ... Unlike the great Glyn Schofield, who apparently is one several times over from the email he sent me.
Millions of pounds or asses, you decide, hehe.
(He actually DID send me that email haha).
But I've never been one to piss and moan about money whether I had it or not, and I've had plenty of times where I did, and where I didnt, and either way, I could care less in many regards.
And that, my friend is the lesson for the day (or email).
If it sounds strange, well, think about it.
It's... TRUE!

PS - Letting go is key. Also what is key is that one shouldn't "expect" discounts etc for EVERYTHING. Sure, I give the DOERS that email me with genuine reasons discounts etc, and sure, I've had offers etc in the past for EVERYONE (and indeed NOW, until I pulled it) - but based on some of the idiotic replies I get such as "why is the limit not $50 and $100" or whatever he wants to be, I figured it's easier just to NOT do 'em. Sometimes, the easiest way out is to make less sales, believe it or not!
(Yes, I value SANITY over all. Heheh).
(and dude (Paul) "no why"))
