... women from across the country are moving to Mumbai as part of their weight loss regimen.
Said a Delhi socialite: "My trainer tells me that walking a mile with a bucket of water on my head will burn at least 600 calories. I spend an hour on the treadmill and burn only two fifty."
Residents of the Dharavi slum in Mumbai will be auctioning their water carrying routes starting next week. Said Sheila-bhen, a long time resident of Dharavi and a day laborer by profession: "I'm hoping to sell my water-carrying route for three thousand rupees a week."
Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games, will be campaigning to make Water-Carrying an Olympic Sport. "Just like we took Kabaddi to the Asian games, we will make sure that the hard work of our people can be made an international sport."
Mr. Kalmadi is already seeking offers from international companies to manufacture competition level water buckets. "These buckets will be light weight and performance ready." He clarified: "They will be very expensive. Maybe eighty or ninety thousand rupees a bucket."
