The Butterfly Effect

One of the movies i really enjoyed.. it mesmerized me.. its not just the concept underlying the whole series of events, but the mere fact that life we live could have been so very different, so many other ways it could have unraveled itself but it turned out to be what we are living, its so fascinating! I don't want to let out the climax, go watch it for yourself.

When i think back at the so many events in the past that have deeply affected me and wondered how it would have been if these had not happened, i realize that they happened for a reason and life would never be so exciting if not for those!!
Like the time wen my best friends mom died - the first big blow!! It turned out that we appreciate her and admire her a lot more now that she is not there..it made my friend a lot more responsible!!

If i look back at my life now - i would not want anything different. My life rocks!!

Watch your weight

The common feeling among the galz "i am too fat".. This is even worse abroad where galz are hot!! U feel so inferior with your abnormal shaped body from the tons of rice that we are used to back home!! Am a victim of this so called disease!! Back home, it was never an issue .. happy days eating .. But here its become a race between fat and food. A calorie more of rice and off i go working out in the gym.. Sometimes it makes me wonder if its worth it.. But during this course of fitness freakness, i realized that exercises don't just help burn fat, am becoming more flexible !! And believe me, its refreshing !!
My friends should be shocked to learn that am working out; its true. The cat is out in the open..

My close relative used to beg me to exercise with her in the mornings which i ignored succumbing to the sweet slumber.. Now that i am into this , i realize how true her words were.

And the end result is pretty rewarding;forget the flexibility blah blah.. u walk and eyes turn towards u (am sure the galz got this). Not that this has happened to me as i have lot more fat to burn to even get close to being hot!!

I hope this blog would inspire my fellow friends to work out too!!

Going Abroad?

One of the most hyped events in every household.. son/daughter going abroad. May it be for higher studies or work!! Parents are so proud and boast about it to anyone and everyone.
After reaching the foreign country and settling down - what do u hear? "It is so much better here. People are so kind, helpful and sophisticated.. not like back in our country" .. Bull shit - go around and ask your neighbors your name , they would not know! People who smile at u everyday, just drop by to your workplace and ask them if they recognize u, am damn sure they would say no!! .. Am not saying people in foreign countries are not good, its just u should feel ashamed to talk low of your own country wen you are in alien lands.
There is this funny incident of a person i came across. FYI i am one of the peeps studying abroad.
I met him in a super market. He was arguing with his wife saying that things are a lot cheaper here than back home, accusing people in his country of robbing him.. His wife's retort was something i have never heard before. She said "Atleast they don't poison u back home by pampering u with canned food and frozen vegetables".. It never struck me before that it is actually true to a large extent!! Three cheers to the woman. Not for her clever retort but for teaching her husband a lesson!!

Am i sounding too patriotic!!
