Women are certainly making their presence felt in areas or spheres that were thus far considered as exclusive male bastions, what with shapely and sprightly woman making their feminine presence felt on the world stage with a resounding clamour.........
Meet Pune based 30 year Deepika Chowdhary, the first woman to do the country proud by not only participating in an international figure competition held in the United States of America but also emerging trumps in the very same.......
"Sheer persistence, determinations and grit are the keys to my success", Deepika remarks, "my humble and ubiquitous middle class upbringing and environs in which I live (Deepika is a long time resident of the city's modest Vimannagar Colony) did not exactly lend or ingratiate itself to my chosen vocation, but then like I said, I had taken the bit between my teeth and was doubly determined to succeed no matter what"........
Chowdhary emerged trumps or rather came out with flying colours in the event titled "Battle on the Beach" which was conducted by the International Federation of Body Building (IFBB) as well as the National Physique Committee at the renowned Daytona Beach in Florida..........
Commenting on her career choices Chowdhary says that she deemed it fit and worth her while to compete in the figure athletics competitions as the same more than complied or agreed with her body symmetry i.e. broad and strapping shoulders tapering down to a waif like waist........
"I only took up body sculpting or then what is more popularly known as body building a little over two years ago as my fellow employees, seniors and parents were of the opinion that I had what it took to excel at the highest level and here I am after winning two awards in the overall novice as well as open B class categories"..........
"I also owe more than a debt of gratitude to the world renowned fitness coach Shannon Dey for she not only kindled or then should I say rekindled my interest in the sport but also motivated and inspired me to excel with the kind words that she had fro me during the course of a seminar conducted by her at the Sheru Classic Fitness and Health Expo that was held in the national capital way back in 2012", Deepika gushes........
"The international figure athletes that I open mouthedly ogled at were like gods as far as I was concerned and I took to enquiring why I could not become one of them, this quest to become one amongst them took me enrol in a training and diet programme helmed by Bombshell Fitness (a franchise owned by Shannon Dey) and I started or embarked upon my fitness regime with Shannon's blessings"..........
"I was soon working out for four to five hours a day in my own backyard in Pune and the god send opportunity to be a part and parcel of a fitness camp in March 2013 at Florida conducted by Bombshell Fitness only gave/added that added impetus to my workouts and helped me reach the pinnacle or summit", Chowdhary candidly admits...........
A post graduate in Biodiversity, Chowdhary is more than happily married and quietly acknowledges the part played by her doting and supportive husband in her success while also making a mention of the sterling supportive role played by her seniors and fellow employees at the city's National Institute of Virology (NIV) of which she has been part of for the last nine and a bit years..........
Bemoaning or lamenting the lack of awareness about the sport in her motherland Chowdhary says that she is deeply distressed by the fact that she has legions of fans on her facebook page from the so called advanced and progressive countries but a mere handful of fans and followers fom her very own country.........
"Fitness enthusiasts or then body builders are looked at with disdain and contempt in our country and often treated as an object of ridicule and derision in our country, Deepika says, but every brickbat that comes my way only makes me that much more resolute and determined to prove the naysayers wrong and make them eat their harsh and heart rending words".........
"Expressing a heartfelt debt of gratitude to the Neulife Company for sponsoring and taking due care of her dietary supplements, Chowdhary says that she has to dig deep into her meagre resources to fund her other needs and wants as there is no other form of sponsorship or financial aid coming her way".........
"I have my sights firmly set on the next or forthcoming cup called the Fort Lauderdale Cup that will be held in October 2014 at Florida and know in my heart of hearts that I will return with more than a handful of trophies and encomiums this time around"........
"I do hope and pray that the national media especially the visual kind will highlight and celebrate my achievements so that I can ensnare or land a couple of corporate sponsors who will not only ease out my financial burdens but also empower and embolden me to only set my sights on excelling in the sport that is dear to my heart and soul while putting behind me all my other financial and sponsorship related concerns", Chowdhary signs off.........
Here's wishing Deepika Chowdhary good luck and god speed while hoping that all her cherished dreams about more than doing the country proud fructify and get her her due place in the order of merit and sporting excellence............
