A weighty issue?!?

Is being fat a problem if you are healthy?

I am a bit on the heavier side of the weight scale. But I am healthy. I have a good stamina (can dance for as long as I want to), healthy eating habits, but I admit I am lazy about exercising. Does it really matter?

Guess it does. The way these weight losing clinics are gaining popularity, the whole concept of being slim is definitely rising on the priority list. Not just being slim, maybe even being thin or whatever term you want to give it. People want to look good and that’s completely agreeable, till it becomes an obssession and till they don’t look down upon people who are otherwise (people like me!!!).

I won’t say that I am not worried about being fat or rather over-weight (lets be euphemistic). I do keep thinking about it and I have tried a lot of methods. The thing is I don’t eat a lot (that’s the truth) but I run away from physical activity. I can never continue anything for a long time. Same goes for all the exercise regimes I undertake. I think that’s how it is for the most of us, though there are some really strong-willed folks who might disagree.

So, I have decided to take up something, which I am really interested in as my means of losing weight – DANCE!!! It’s the best thing I can do. I love dancing and if I can lose weight through dancing, what could be better? Any kind of dance, but would prefer western or freestyle. And for that I’ll have to join a dance class or something (my room doesn’t have so much space to accommodate my dancing).

So now my search is on for a dance class or an instructor who could help me. And once that’s accomplished, I’ll definitely come back with the results. I am all set (I hope nothing deters me from my decision this time).

Unpredictable Geminians!!!

So lets talk about the most confused lot in the zodiac signs…the Geminians.

The best communicators, who can talk on any topic under the sun (and I don’t mean nonsense, they talk sense). There might be certain Geminians who don’t talk much but given the right chance and motivation they can talk a lot. Geminians are generally talkative, but there can be exceptions, who, again, if given the right chance and the right kind of people, can talk non-stop. They are good with their tongue, so can get out of situations very diplomatically.

May be because it is the sign of “the twins”, they are able to see both sides of any situation. They assimilate all the viewpoints and form their opinion. The flipside to this is that as they try understanding all viewpoints they tend to take a long time to decide. Basically, an indecisive lot.

Geminians are also famous for their flirtatious nature. But like my fellow Geminians, I might want to argue a bit on this. Though they have a reputation of being flirtatious, it’s more about realizing that the current flame is not exactly the kind of person he/she wants. So, they move on or rather jump off to another person, thinking that may be this is “the one”. And they keep on jumping till they find the right person!!!

The keyword to get a Geminian or rather to make a Geminian fall for you is SPACE. They need a lot of space for themselves and anyone who tries to get into that space is out of the race. The need for independence and freedom is very strong in a Geminian. So, if u try holding the most airiest of the air signs, they are sure to slip out of your hands. Therefore, try being logical and reasonable with them, but please do NOT overdo it. In fact, do NOT overdo anything. Be a good balance of everything, at least try to be a balance.

So, flatter them, flirt with them, but beware of their terrible mood swings. This characteristic of theirs makes them highly unpredictable. They can do anything and everything. They just need to have the mood for it and they can jump into any work you give them. Highly energetic but if not in a good mood, they can also be gloomy.

In short, expect the unexpected from the unpredictable and “forever on the move” Geminians.

Bangalore!!!

This is me back to blogging after a year’s gap. Hope I dont take another break (fingers crossed). Life’s changed a lot. Finished my grad and now into my second job, in a new city. I am in Bangalore right now.

Bangalore’s a nice place. The weather’s the best thing about the place. When coming from Chennai to Bangalore I wasn’t happy at all. Had got used to Chennai. So, Bangalore wasn’t actually exciting. It didn’t seem to be my kinda place. Had heard people weren’t too friendly, very superficial n stuff like that. So you can imagine my condition. Me being the quite one (ahem ahem), who takes time to talk n stuff. Was sure I would feel all lost here.

And now it’s been one and half months. Thankfully my opinion has changed for good. People aren’t very friendly which is in fact a very good thing. No one to interfere in your matters, no one to pry into your affairs – what are you doing? why are you doing? (I hate that).  You have your life and work, you can do whatever you want to.

The auto drivers are an irritating lot (guess bangaloreans would agree with me). I have a problem with them everyday. Though there’s a meter, they have to ask for more, especially if its after dark or a long route. But I guess they are a problem everywhere.

The traffic’s another problem. Long rows of vehicles on the roads. And the huge number of messages that the radio stations get from people complaining about the traffic. It’s fun listening to these messages. But it’s no fun getting stuck in the traffic when you have to rush to some place.

Rest everything about the place is great. It’s got a cool night life (better than Chennai any day). The weather’s excellent, the people are non-interfering and if you have a good job, you can have a good time here. Just make sure to either get a bf/gf or lots of friends… :)
