A Bowl of Elusive

I am flabby. I have always been flabby. And it would have been alright back in the 80's, I think, when Indian movie stars weren't ripped and six-pack abs weren't considered the epitome of male beauty. But since then, things have changed. Now, you're shamed if you have a normal body. Yeah, I said it. A normal body isn't all muscles, it is flabby, and it is paunchy. And I think the world would be a far better place if this flawed idea, that fit is good and fat is bad, was dropped by all.  This article might sound a little bitter, but it will advocate the case for the common man, who works long hours and doesn't get time to work out and the common man who lacks the discipline to work out and would rather slouch on the couch sipping a sugar-heavy soda. My point is that the "dad-bod" is good. Refer back to the depiction of the gods in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana or B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat. They had normal bodies, none of those big burly muscles...
