Me at a bar trying to flirt
The photograph in question is from March of this year, when Baba Ramdev was performing at a Yoga Mahotsav in New Delhi.
But we quickly realised that this unique position emulates our feelings at all of life's most awkward junctures. We would all pose like this all the time if only our bodies would allow it. For instance:
1. When you made the mistake of getting into a Virar local train at 6pm:
2. When you're playing drunk Twister:
3. When you decide to be a jalebi for Halloween:
4. When you're trying to do Hrithik's dance from Bang Bang:
5. When the teacher punishes you for passing notes in class:
6. When it's flooded everywhere and you found 4 square inches of dry land:
7. When you are a Filmfare award:
8. When your friend's parents are yelling at them in front of you:
9. When random aunties ask, "Beta, do you remember my name?":
10. When your ex and current S.O. meet for the first time:

14. When you get off a rickshaw and realise that you left your wallet at home:
15. When mom says, "Beta aunty ko woh wali poem sunao":
16. When you take off your heels in the club because you just can't anymore:
17. When you try to sit after leg day:
18. When you try to walk in a sari for the first time:
19. When you're so wasted that you start doing the naagin dance:
20. When you're caught in your own web of lies and can't remember who you told what to:
21. When you're trying to charm a rickshaw wallah into taking you to Andheri East:
22. And, of course, when you're focussing all your energies on curing homosexuality through yoga:
