3 Idiots in my team

 I have a small team of 3 people who are always with me in all of my fitness journey. Let me introduce you to all of them and explain how important role they are playing to keep me fit. For known reasons, I cannot mention their full names here. Let me take their initials and address them as Mr.'I', Mr.'B' and Mr.'M'. I call 3 of as my favorite BMI team. You and 'I' might have met on many instances in the morning or evening doing walk, but I doubt you would have seen other two.

Now, lets understand personalities of each of them. Mr. 'I' is a very opportunistic and show off guy, is always in the first to claim credits for his team's achievement. He is a typical control freak kind of guy and his behaviour is reflected in all the activities they do as part of their projects. Not to mention, among all the 3 team mates, he is the most egoistic and jeolous person. He is visionary, a dreamer and has hundreds of projects with him. But, he knows very well that he is not going to complete all of his dream projects in his entire life span but still he doesnt stop adding new projects to his dreams. 'I' want to complete every project and 'I' will use every opportunity that comes on the way. 'I' being the most ambitious of all three, is always found to be serious fellow among all the three.

The middle one is Mr. 'M'. He considers himself to be smartest of all. True to his name and attitude he understands and literally feels the real pain of executing any project. He is most empathatic and humble person than other two. He knows the nitty gritties of dealing with most complex projects. He is a people person knows very well that irrespective of technology, processes it's the people, the resources who make the project successful. He is a natural people manager and knows how to deal with any kind of person with his mesmerising people management skills. He is always cool headed relaxed guy though at times he gets stressed not because of his own mistakes but due to overcommitments of his two other friends. But he is the most content person of 3 and has highest self confidence that whatever assignment given to him, once he commits he will complete it always with unbelievable results. He is the most reliable guy when it comes to moving the mountains. He knows very well that without him neither of his two friends 'I' and 'B' cannot even think of completing any project. In short Mr. M is a Man of Miracles, Motivator, Marketing guy who can sell anything to anybody.

Now, let's meet Mr.'B' another crucial member of my team. He was very cute when he was born and adored by everyone around him in his family. He used to get full attention whever he used to go. He was the most pampered boy in his family. As a child he was brought up in a middle class family and he was taught to do all his things by himself. He used to maintain good physique and was looking charming. But as he grew up older and made friends like 'I' and 'M', he lost that chacolate boy look. He couldn't maintain consistency in maintaining his good health due to bad addictions he learnt after joining the club of 'I' and 'M'. In the modern changing technological evolution, like most IT guys, he became obese and lethargic in his day-to-day activities.

As it was designed by fate, these 3 idiots came together one fine day. They became best buddies from that day irrespective of their differences with each other.They all started working on some of the projects together. But true to their nature there was no way that all of three will be in sync all the times. Most of the projects involving of them failed miserably due to poor coordination between Mr. I and Mr.B. Mr. I always dictates 'B' should work as per his plans and Mr. B always gets pissed off working with him. But somewhere deep in his mind he acknowledges that 'I' have many ideas that if executed makes him also excited. But as soon as he starts listening to 'I' within few minutes he starts feeling that he is being controlled by Mr. I. So their equations never matched when it comes to working together on same project. This is where our hero Mr. M comes into the picture. Both I and B love him for his attitude a lot and they both can do anything if Mr. M. joins their project. Mr. I and Mr. B have done many wonders whenever Mr. M is with them. They both call him Mr.Miracle.

Now let me mention few achievements of these 3 idiots. Recently they did completed together a Half marathon by recording their best track records. Looking at their age and health condition nobody had thought these 3 idiots will not even complete it within cut off time of half marathon. But to everyone's surprise they did came out with flying colors! Do you know how old are they ? Mr. M is the youngest of all and continue to be young always and he is just 25 years. Mr. I is about 50 years old and he looks young and always does all that show off he can do to look younger than his real age. Then comes our Mr. B who looks always older than his actual age. He is as old as Mr. I but looks like he is at least 10 years older than I. 'B' is the most stressed and exhausted one because he always works on the ground. He always goes for the extra mile due to ideas suggested by I and committment given to M to complete it. Every time there is a new project idea in Mr. I's brain, Mr. B gets shivering as he knows he is the one who is going to be stressed out to execute that project and Mr. M will convince him somehow to accept it.

Finally last question that might come to your thought that this story looks very familiar and you might have met these 3 idiots somewhere? Yes, you are right! You have met and spoken to one of them as all 3 of them never show up together in public. You will never be able to see them together in future either. That is the understanding they have and that's only thing they are strictly following till today. Where do these 3 idiots live? They live pretty much around you if you are following the blogs that 'I' write. I mean 'I' am myself as mentioned earlier I have brainfull of project ideas, one who provoked to write this blog. Mr. 'B' is my body and his actual biological age is quite older than I. Then comes the 'master mind' behind all the crimes committed by the '3 Idiots' gang is my 'Mind'. So is their team name 'BMI".

So if you also are dreaming of some fitness 'adventures' like I then keep watching 3 idiots of your life and what they are doing in their projects. They will present their project matrices in their favorite 'BMI' scale only, I mean Body Mass Index. Ensure it is within your control !

Next time you meet one of my 3 idiots please say 'Hi' and tell him how was this blog :-)
