Eat More.

I found this VERY interesting report. It states that the following foods and situations have no calories at all. So you can consume all of it with a clear conscience. My happiness mounted ten-fold after I read it! Yupieeeeeee!!!!

CALORIES THAT DON'T COUNT

1. FOOD ON FOOT - All food eaten while standing has no calories. Exactly why is not clear, but the current theory relates to gravity. The calories apparently bypass the stomach flowing directly down the legs, and through the soles of the feet into the floor, like electricity. Walking appears to accelerate this process, so that an ice cream bar or hot dog eaten at the state fair actually has calorie deficit.

2. TV FOOD - Anything eaten in front of the TV has no calories. This may have something to do with radiation leakage, which negates the calories in food, plus all recollection of having eaten it!

3. UNEVEN EDGES - Pies and cakes should be cut neatly, in even wedges or slices. If not, the responsibility falls on the person putting them away to "straighten up the edges" by slicing away offending irregularities, which have no calories when eaten.

4. BALANCED FOOD - If you drink a 12 ounce diet soda with a candy bar, they cancel each other out.

5. LEFT-HANDED FOOD - If you have a drink in your right hand, anything eaten with the left hand has no calories. Several principles are at work here. First of all, you're probably standing up at a party (see "Food on Foot", above) Then, there's the electronic field: a wet glass in one hand forms a negative charge to reverse the polarities of the calories attracted to the other hand. It's not quite known how it works, but the reverse is true if you're left-handed.

6. FOOD FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES - Food used for medicinal purposes never counts. For example: Hot chocolate, cheesecake (it’s a mood-enhancer!), apple-pies (remember, an apple a day, keeps the doc away??) et al.

7. WHIPPED CREAM, SOUR CREAM, and BUTTER - These all act as a poultice that actually "draws out" the calories when placed on any food, leaving them calorie free. Afterwards, you can eat the poultice, too, since all the calories have been neutralized by it.

8. CHILDREN'S FOOD - Anything produced, purchased, or intended for minors is calorie free when eaten by adults. This category covers a wide range, beginning with a spoonful of baby food custard, consumed for demonstration purposes, up to Oreo cookies or cake batter or cookie dough.

9. FOOD ON TOOTHPICKS - Sausage, cocktail franks, and crackers are all fattening unless impaled on frilly toothpicks. The insertion of a sharp object allows the calories to leak out at the bottom.

10. CHARITABLE FOODS - Girl Scout cookies, bake sale cakes, ice cream socials and church strawberry festivals all have a religious dispensation from calories.

11. CUSTOM MADE TREATS - Anything somebody makes "just for you" must be eaten, regardless of the calories, because to do otherwise would be uncaring and insensitive. Your kind intentions will not go unrecognized, except by the calories!

So eat MORE! Njoi ;-)

Crazy, am I?

"I keep worrying, fretting all day and night..thinking abt my future, parents, finances, careers, life... etc etc"

"Am I insane"?

"No! You're Human"

Behind every successful person is a man or a woman. A person who is the wind beneath your wings. That one special person who has the capacity to love you unconditionally and beautifully. A person who understands you even when you don't deserve it; someone who can make you smile or laugh even at times when you don't want to; someone who sees your good - shares and understands your dreams and also helps you get there, gives you gyaan on determination and conviction, who inspires you along and rejoices in your triumphs, who is there besides you when everyone else flees, someone who believes in you. Someone who calls even at 3AM and tells you what a retard u've been; who kicks you in the butt when others wudn't dare; forgives all your goof-ups and blunders and would ask you to try again.

Isn't it amazing to have sucha lovely soul in your life? How do these people exist in a world full of jealousies, back stabbing, insults, constant ridicule and snobbery? How is this wonderful person untouched by all of it? Why is he always in content, even when he is sidelined in another person's path to fame and fortune?

Is this person insane? or psyched? No! He is someone with a face. You may find him in your family, friends, spouse or even a stranger - who has touched your life in some way or the other. They have the gift of love. Love is the only thing I know which makes you - unselfish, giving, understanding, gentle, courageous, generous, devoted and loyal. This is the kinda love which moves you to soar beyond your goals. You need nothing else other than this kinda love to make it to anything in this world. If you have found this kinda love in any man or woman - You have found an incomparable TREASURE.

Cherish them!

An aunty calls and asks a series of personal questions...reason?? She has a son of a "marriageable age"

How do you look?
Wht's your education?
Wht kinda person are you?
Are you religious?
Wud you continue working after marriage?
Are you religious?
How long are your hair?
Are you domestically inclined?
How close are you to your relatives??

Sheetal, Dee, Vijz and Sabs laugh when I repeat this to them! Jeez...make fun of me..But I've gotten used to it. Used to being "checked" out by mothers who have sons aged 26+, at all social gatherings. Unusual stares, whimsical gestures and extremely obvious gossip, I have beared it all.

25 and single!! So what??? Big Deal.

Just leave me alone. Please dn't tax my sense of humour.
Thank you very much.

My idea of an ideal morning is to wake up and sit at the window sill and enjoy the sunrays that come in thru the window during summers or enojy the cool breeze that blows due to the rains during monsoon. Was sitting and reflecting...do we not miss the beautiful and enjoyable moments of life in our daily routine of work?

I am not against 'work'; it's just that I feel we loose out on the things that we aim to achieve by 'work', just because of work. The current scenario (or an emerging culture) is where the husband and wife both work. They do not see each other during the day, wud call about once or twice to inquire abt the other person's whereabouts, and possibly get time only on weekends to spend time with each other. And that too is a time when they 'rightfully' need some time to rest after the exhaustion of the week. If they have kids, they too are deprived of their parent's presence in their day to day life.

I donno whether there is a solution to the above problem, a woman has equal and good enuf reasons to choose and follow a career path, just as a man does; but does it result in a healthy family?

It's a different thing when people who work, work only to gain satisfaction from the work they do. But if they expect to enjoy the fruits of their labour in their personal life, do they really achieve the material comforts they aim for, and compromise on their emotional needs, at the same time?

Donno..is there a way out of this circle?? Life is full of ironies. We spend our entire lives to earn enuf to buy a comb, but we loose all our hair, by the time we have it!!!
