I notice that a lot of indians staying in the States and the U.K. have fallen into the trap of denigrading themselves and always perpetuating stereotypes set by western “culture”. Living in a society that places weakness in character as an asset, we find our Indian community have responded to this and have moved towards developing these weak qualities. Before you insult the efforts of Indian persons please remember some of the weakest and stupidest persons are enormous idiots who are your masters

It is not the size of the legs that count but ultimately the thrusting power which they can generate. Please… the whole it’s not the thickness of your fibula it’s how you use it that counts, is just something desi men say to make themselves feel better about their inadequacies. The obsession that Chinmoy had with calf presses is an example of napoleon complex regarding his chicken tikka legs.

Wait, I always thought she was Sophia Haque. Is this a different person or am I confused?

That was one funny video. The one next to it, offered hilarious commentary too.

Abhi, speaking of the other kind of calves, while it's true that brown men have small calves, this doesn't mean there isn't enough strength in the calves.

Trust me, I know. I have the most chickenest legs you will ever see on a brown man (or so I've been told) but I can leg press close to 700lbs (and unlike Robertson I go all the way down). It is not the size of the legs that count but ultimately the thrusting power which they can generate.

Spot on hairy-d.

This can be a killer exercise in meditation.

Abhi, speaking of the other kind of calves, while it's true that brown men have small calves, this doesn't mean there isn't enough strength in the calves. Do raises and everyone can have strong calves. Remember, Jehangir and Jansher Khan were world champions without big calves? And Squash sure uses calves.

South Asian women, though seem naturally blessed with great (including in the size area) calves. I don't quite understand that.

Saurav, truth be told, I don't recall any takers.

Plus they had these dorky b & w photo cutouts of Trygve Lie stuck to the foil wrapping.

ANY brown man that can overcome brown manÂ’s disease (small calves) and go on to set a record in the calf-raise is a certified stud in my book.

Wachoo talking about abhi? Calf-raising has been the brown man's forte.

About 12 years ago Chinmoy had a huge event at the Armory in D.C. It was rather frightening. I think 2/3 of the people, including myself, left within the first hour. Various combinations of singer/instrumentalists played his “compositions” that were absolutely dreadful. They also showed a slide show of his “illustrations” of birds that consisted of two lines and a dot in a mildly bird-like shape. Ugh, the event left mental scars.
