fl'u'bbergast

Ever watched the movie "The Absent Minded Professor"? An old one, I know, but worth watching. In fact the movie "Flubber" is a latest version of this movie. I am a big fan of this movie. The scientist's determination to do something good to this world, comes in the form of a chemical that he invents that has elasticity or "Spring Action". Well I don't remember if he saved the world or not, but he saved his favorite basketball team from losing. Awesome!! Imagination at its best!!

Have you ever felt the same? "Spring under your feet?" I do! Every time I get excited, I am on my toes, the spring coming to action. It starts with a mere push up of the heels, slowly and steadily raising the Achilles Notch, then Metatarsus lift followed by the bending of the Phalanges. The next moment there you are rising up in the air, literally jumping off your feet. Then you hear an inner voice in Punjabi,"Thalle aaja Thalle!!" :)
