Look who's having the last laugh :-D


Exactly a year back I wrote a post title "I'm totally in shape.. 'Round' IS a shape".. Since then I have knocked off a few pounds.. 15 kgs to be precise.. Why I did it? Well.. no reason in particular.. Maybe I had enough of the peoples' jibes.. Not too sure.. when I look back,I guess the decision to go on a diet just happened on an impulse.. I was just reading reviews of some books when I happened to come across a book titled "Lose a kilo a week" by Nishi Grover.. the review was good.. I purchased the book online.. her diet plan seemed very reasonable and practical.. I decided to go for it..

When I first started the diet, people around me had a good laugh and most told me that I wouldn't be able to go through with it.. I set out to prove them wrong.. the more they made fun of me, the more stubborn I got and this helped me to be more determined to not stray away from my diet.. So from January till June this year it has been 'NO' to sweets, rice, oil and all other tempting food.. I have not been able to reach my target of losing 20 kgs, but what I have lost so far is pretty good..

My diet is now famous.. Colleagues discuss it with their kids/spouses who in turn discuss my diet at their respective offices.. I have motivated several people around me to start dieting.. I'm now bombarded with questions about my diet.. Am I happy?? Not really.. In my earlier post I claimed to not mind being on the fatter side.. So my going on a diet to shed those pounds would be hypocracy on my part.. I Just wanted to prove a point.. That if I make up mind I'm capable of achieving anything.. and I mean ANYTHING.. Lose weight, take up a new assignment at work and excel at it, or simply be a good person.. It's just a matter of wanting to achieve something.. wanting something badly enough that would make me determined to work towards achieving the goal..

A special thanks to all my critics.. the ones who've made sarcastic remarks about my weight.. the ones who discouraged me the entire time I was on a diet.. Thanks to you I have been able to reach my goal.. A word of advice.. Before you decide to comment about someone's figure or weight, have a good look at yourself in the mirror.. If you see a person with the physique of a John Abraham or a Priyanka Chopra, feel free to comment about the 'fat' person at your workplace or elsewhere.. otherwise it's best to keep you trap shut because frankly, it makes you look stupid when you have a figure like Saroj Khan (no offence to the best choreographer in Bollywood!) but you have no problem commenting about someone else's weight.. I'm resorting to sarcasm because it's illegal to shoot people..!! ;-)

And yes.. I'm having the last laugh, definitely!

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
