Go Green!

Been thinking of switching to the greens quite some time. Being a hard core non- vegetarian and a foodie, shifting to being a vegetarian for me will equal to starving!
Being healthy is of upmost importance however I tend to indulge in non – veggie or spicy food and I have a feeling continuing this way will be not fair to my body. What surprises me is the fact that now a days I am surrounded by people who love the greens! Some of them are non- veg turned vegetarians or non – vegs who eat lot of greens. There are also the ones who either eat only chicken or only fish if they opt for non-veg else they are vegetarians. Maybe I must start it slowly , reducing the non- veg part in my food and also the spice!
I know I can do it – it’s all a matter of time and reducing temptations. ‘ Be healthy gal! you can do it!
Cut down on coffee and tea,drink more water, exercise daily, eat more greens and cut down that spice!’ – I wish , I wish!!

And so am I seeing shore? Only time will tell....

Memories

I saw a posting on face book which read ‘Past is a nice place to visit but definitely not a place to stay’.
Every one of us must be aware about how over the years as we grow older, certain smells, sounds and people may automatically transfer us to a place in the past - to memories that might be either bitter or beautiful in its wake.
I have my share of them too. However, I avoid within my realm certain things that arouse not so great memories – sometimes I know what exactly it is, but certain other times I have no idea whatsoever it is, it is just an indirect indicator of something unfavorable buried deep inside the brain.
But then when you look at it, it’s just like a roller coaster ride isn’t it? Every time you go up and you go down, it just increases the fun of the ride. We scream, we hit, we close our eyes but at the end of the ride, we say, wow, and that was nice!
Certain things that must have created a dent in an otherwise smooth ride in life – that got your heart beating, pulse rising, head palpitating , tears streaming - whether it be good or bad – later long down the lane, we can say it just made an otherwise boring life interesting. Infact its better than a simple roller coaster ride, it teaches us a lesson or two if it’s a bitter experience otherwise it turns into a sweet page in our journal of life to go through when old age beckons – when such memories might be a bliss to savor with one’s own self.

Throat Dilemma

The flu is been playing with me past couple of days dilly dallying and sauntering around me.
I wake up sounding husky like Bryan Adams, and later it whistles out as my original voice returns after gulping down tons of hot tea or coffee. The fact that my voice changes during the flu sometimes excites me when my voice turns a note different and sounds sexy (not the bryan adam voice)! I even once tried recording the voice message on my phone with the flu on because I thought it sounded so good but by the time I completed the recording after a thousand ‘ takes’ and reruns, my original voice had returned – oh so sad. The tickling of the nose and the feeling of someone sitting on my head also accompanies the throat dilemma. And for some reason, am stubborn to not go to the doctor. Maybe because of the fact, by afternoon , am back to normal. Maybe we can call this ‘Flash – Flu’.
Meanwhile, if anyone passes by my house in the early hours of the morning, don’t be surprised to hear Bryan Adams crooning, ‘Everything I do…I do it for you’.
