The Word of mAn[S]o0r

…is being at the wheel, pedal to the metal, weaving in and out of traffic at 100+ kmph and listening to awesome remixes!! truly mind blowing!

Oh, as for the magical powers of haldi, its been found by a PhD research student at KU (yea, i know! KU producing actual research?!) that haldi (turmeric) fights obesity. Something to do with an component in it called curamin (or something) which prevents immature fat cells to becoming full blown mature fat cells. (Immature fat cells are easier to loose i hear). Lost the link to the news article, otherwise would have had complete details. Still, makes the case for having more ‘desi’ food doesn’t it, and for why McDonalds et al are so (deliciously) fattening.

.. can be your best friends during lunch time and those in-office moments where munching is required.

Quite sometime since i posted anything in this category. Truth is, i was working on a few ideas etc to keep weight under control and hopefully reduce somewhat. Lunch became a totally non-existant meal, instead i started having fruit chat daily at the office.

The result, after more than three weeks of this regime?

“mansoor!! you’ve put on a couple of pounds since i last saw you!”

“aapas kee baat hai, koi khas farq nahi para”

both comments came from people who saw me almost two months later. But im happy even after these!! know why? cuz i put on A LOT of weight during october-november :p thanks to Eid, daily lunches and dinners with friends and being a couch potatoe in between. So if i look like the same, or only slightly overweight, im happy. Plus, my triple chin has reduced to a double! yayyyyy! Now to get it back to only one! if only my bank balance would inflate like my chin does.. *sigh*

The motivation is strong still, thanks to an unexpected ally in my fight against fat!

Now to see what comments i get from my parents, mom is particular! im going back to ISB Today!!! yayyy! should be sitting in the plane when this post comes out.
