Why are everyone healthy these days?

Why is everyone healthy these days ?  Looks like why am I complaining about a good thing.  It may be a good thing but too much of a good thing is not as good as it visible to be.

Is there something about the food we eat that is the source of the problem?   Yes, I think.   What got me thinking is my own food habits.   A decade back I could talk four rotis (breads) and not thinking twice about it but now eating even 2 rotis makes me feel that I am putting on weight.  I may add here that my food habits and live style has changed little in this decade but I look more healthy than I did then.  May I add here that in the last few years I have been a regular at morning walk.

I feel that this may be due to the hybrid food items we have been taking.    I have no scientific data but only a hunch. 

But this feeling is very disturbing.

Tere Lover purane

 

100_6526What does one do at midnight other than listening to soulful songs doing soul searching.  Listening to ‘Shirt da Button’. I cannot stop wondering at the lyrics.  Its kind of funny but one can relate to it.  Its nearly there, but something is amiss.  The situation is like the feeling of a lonely lover whose love is getting married and moving on, most probably to another city out of his sight. Not funny but I know.

Living in a city like Delhi, you like it or hate it.  If you say like, something is growing on you, like a song, you would probably get blank looks.  Take for example the anti corruption movement/ stir  presently underway in the city.  The numbers in which delhiites  turned up in the first phase to support of the movement, in equal show of apathy are nearly absent in the second phase.  Blame the climate, the nature of people who populate the city irrespective of ethnicity, language for food preference, the amiss people are nearly as reliable are they are actually unreliable. It kind of brings us to the song ‘Shirt da Button’.  You can now understand, why delhiites will like the song.  Its understandable and not at the same time, its there but not there. Enjoy it at that moment and if not forget it. Just move on.  Been here for some years, with years I feel more at home in Delhi than any other city on the planet. I understand what outside people feel about its residents and its climate.  I can say, without being a Delhiite  it would hard to understand the feeling of Delhiite.  So give the people of the city the space to live the life they have already lived:)

Which phone to buy or what?


I thought of buying an new mobile phone. Before I brought one I did a customary online research. The criterion was simple, it should be black, querty, fast and slim. I could not decide as I was left to choose a Blackberry or a Nokia. These days Samsung isn’t making any good querty phone, neither does HTC care and lets talk about nobody else. So what do I do. I went out and brought myself a tablet. I could do with my present E63 and I could better consume multi media in a tablet and children love to play games on tablet. The thought that my spouse could use the tablet to try out new recipes was also a added incentive. There I was, out to buy a phone…bringing something else. I understand now that I am now living in an impulsive world…redemption impossible.

Traveller by choice

New read travel writing in my life until I stumbled upon a travel magazine by the name ‘Outlook Traveller’.  I still read it till this day, every month.  But, why I loved the magazine and travel books, which i have discovered from that time, had kept me thinking… the revelation has come just a few days back.

A person who does not fit into any sampling demographic,  who is part of the crowd I but does not behave like the crowd is a loner…and traveller are loners.  I was that loner who was floating and travel and travel writing has made me comfortable and the loner has found his pass time and perfect one also.

So, I am a traveller by choice, only that i have discovered it late.  But … I have found it nonetheless.
