My 10 inch Biceps

My friends often call me an iron rod, but it doesn’t mean that I am strong like an iron, I am thin like an iron rod. My list of superlatives is endless and includes skeleton, stick, and so on. I know you must have imagined my build, so ladies & gentlemen let me introduce you, 6’ feet, 138 pounds, 10-inch biceps and hard-to-find triceps, world lightweight champion “Amit Jain”

 

When I was a kid, I was overweight and today I am underweight. Once I thought to join a gym and build my body like Salman Khan/Hrithik Roshan. After a month I found, my body is coming into the shape of my bones. Instead of a muscular body built I had built of bones which clearly show my 206 bones. Undoubtedly, I can easily be the brand ambassador for the UN to represent third-world countries or for any of their campaign on the importance of nutrition.

 

It’s been 10 years since my popularity and TRP is more than Ekta Kapoor's TV series. I am famous among my relatives and friends because they scare their children with the proverb “eat the proper food otherwise you will be like Amit”.

I tried a lot to gain weight but my 10-inch biceps had decided to beat me in this challenge and even after so many years it was still the same. We all have heard about different contests like “biggest loser” where whom so ever loses the maximum weight wins the contest. If there is any contest “rare gainer”, you all can blindly bet on me and win the prizes because the possibility of my gaining weight is impossible like in India without corruption and dirty politics.

 

Once I read, 10 was the lucky number for all the legends like Pele, Maradona, Sachin Tendulkar, etc. I am sure, I will also be known as a legend, how does it matter for my “10” inch biceps?
