in the spirit of olympic 2016

it has been five weeks since i enrolled in a body combat class, coached by an mma fighter and  amazing teacher. it a perfect combination of kaarate, taekwondo and a little bit of yoga in the end of the session (which i truly find the hardest to follow) honestly, bending is  for plastic not flesh  and bones - the joke that i have been telling my best friend - who is an ardent fan and a yogi. i actually had a bad time on my first yoga class, because i had my late lunch  30 minutes before the class. (the rest was history)

2 years ago, while i was in malaysia i had the chance to watch a biography movie on fair skinned mary kom of india, whose despite odds of racism, discrimination and hurdles, is a five time world boxing champion, qualified for london 2012 and won a bronze. mary kom is played by priyanka chopra in the movie
