If we have to zero down on one attitude that we all have in general, that would be to be judgemental. Being Judgemental and prejudiced about certain aspects in our lives is our favourite hobby. One such prejudice that we all have in our minds is that of a perfect body. From Kareena Kapoor to Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai Bachachan to Deepika Padukone, every one has an awesome body, so why is it that I look like a bean bag.

Bollywood has definately inspired and raised the standards of perfect body. Malaika Arora Khan and Shilpa Shetty are literally idols of every woman. Definately they sweat hours at the gym and have strict diets and are basically in a profession which demands them to look good. They have all the time and money to look after themselves but what about common women like us, who live first for their parents, then husbands, then children, then grandchildren, then society. Where is the time that live for ourselves, where we can concentrate on our bodies and ourselves, no where right ! So that doesn’t mean we don’t have to live for ourselves.

Before we begin with the perfect body, let us define on what exactly is the perfect body as per Indian Standard from the age group 15 to 55. (I don’t know if they have any ISO marking for your body).

1. Any girl more than 5’4 is too tall.
2. Any girl with a figure more than 34, 28,34 is Fat.
3. Your arms cannot be fat.
4. You should be able to fit into XXXS.
5. Basically all those things that make you depressed when you go shopping to certain stores because the sales guys look like they spotted a UFO when you ask for a dress in XXL.

Please ignore the above part because these are the standards set up by the society and you are born beautiful.

The best way to get a perfect body is to follow these simple steps.

1. Love yourself and accept your body type: I am not saying it is impossible to get your pre-baby body but do not set up unrealistic expectation. Please note our bodies are built in a different manner. A petitie woman cannot become voluptous overnight.
2. Set realistic goals: Many media articles will tell you how a particular actress lost a few kgs just after her baby but its ok if ou don’t be size zero again. Loose a kg in 3 months but do it for ever.
3. Don’t compare yourself with others:

I have always been against Glorifying Over Work and therefore, in the year 2021, I have decided to launch this campaign “Balancing Life”and talk about this wrong practice, that we have been following since last few years. I will be talking to and interviewing around 1 lakh people in the coming 2021 and publish their interview regarding their opinion on glamourising Over Work.
