"Being challenged in life is inevitable, but being defeated is optional."

When the world stands against you, tussling your days with hurdles you struggle to cross, a firm purpose drives you forward, to another day getting stronger. Consistently working towards it and the euphoric moment that the destination gives you makes the road trodden worth it. Here is a story of one such person who found his way with fitness, and now that has evolved into a passion that he pursues. In conversation with Paras Patil on his journey to his fittest self.

November has become notorious for the "No…November" and the "No Shave November" where men put their razors down to raise awareness for people fighting cancer. And recently, we've been introduced to "No Nut November", where, you guessed it, men spend an entire month refraining from ma********on and s*x. As a kickstart for a better 2022, we introduce you to a fun little challenge called 𝗡𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿.
The rules are simple, No lame "I don't have time for this" or "I'll just do it tomorrow." ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSES WHATSOEVER!!!! Wake up every day and push yourself a little harder each day to get back on a consistent routine, begin working out, start eating healthier and cut off from the toxic traits. Maybe for you, it's finally saying yes to that weight loss you've been putting off or starting the weight training program you were afraid of. Or perhaps it's finally starting that creative project that's been lurking in the back of your brain. Or maybe it's just challenging yourself to read from a book every day. Whatever it is that you want to start, change, or finish, make November your No Excuse November and go for it!
Whatever you've been meaning to accomplish, sit down and write a monthly goal. It could be something like, "for the month of November I'm going to be consistent with my training routine." Or "for the month of November I'm going to hit the gym 5x a week." Or "for the month of November I'm going to finish that creative project of mine" Whatever the goal is for the month, remember to be smart about it; break down the big goal in weekly steps and don't be afraid to challenge yourself a bit.
No Excuse November is not going to change your life in one month. Still, it'll give you the spark of motivation needed to reclaim 2021 and launch into 2022 a little more connected and inspired to live your best life. It's never too late to leap, so let's leap together in November and leave our excuses behind!

Adios to the lively seniors who walked their way into the community of IIT B Weightlifting made wonderful moments with memorable feats and now sign off to enter into another chapter of their lives. Here we split as roads diverge to meet again, carrying memories of the beautiful years with the team until the next rendezvous. From the efforts in the lifting room to the camps where sweat and effort paved the way to a stronger you, the spirit of sportsmanship helped your way to lift your limits and the weights you raised. Leaving the team's legacy behind for the future batches, we wish you an incredible journey at this juncture of life.
