A challenge is a challenge

Like every single women even I desire for the "chic look" and tend to hyperventilate about the extra flab which adds up to the increase in blood pressure levels.

I am nocturnal (makes me think that I must have been an owl in my previous birth, if it counts) and that rules out the option of going for a jog early in the morning or hitting the gym. I know there are a lot of options to shed the extra pounds however my laziness wins hands down all the time. Today, at my workplace, I challenged a collegue of mine to follow GM diet and finally I was cornered and asked to take up the same challenge. Its a challenge and I can't say No, so I have agreed on this. This means I am going to be a cattle for 5 days grazing on fruits and vegetables.

Here is the tough part. I am allergic to fruits and I got to sustain it for a day which I couldn't when I tried it the first time. Oh boy! I got to do this somehow.

Its not about the weight loss totally but this is going to test if I really have the will power to get over this task on a winning note irrespective of the hurdles and something that I got to prove it to myself. I hope I can do it and I am going to upload a picture upon successful completion.

The day to remember or in other words the day the task starts is on the Independance day of United States of America.

Wish me luck!

The Cave house

While I was surfing, this beautiful cave house caught my attention.
In this modern world, we always associate a cave to the prehistoric times and to the lifestyle of ancient tribes who dwelled in it mainly for necessity and not by choice. It is true that even today there are people across the globe who live in caves for ample reasons.

Here is the one I was mentioning about:

The Entrance:

The Hall:

The Bedroom:

Sit Out:

With the increasing real estate prices wouldn't a cave house be a better option to live in?

Jokes apart, I hope someday my caving experience gets fulfilled.

Did you know? Troglodytes is infact the term used for the cave dwellers.

Thirty before thirty

This game all started when a dear friend of mine mentioned about jotting down the 30 things that one wants to do before he/she turns 30. On the 30th birthday one has to review the list and strike off the ones that you actually made it. Isn't it interesting?

Here is the list that I came up with in random order

1. Learn Swimming
2. Scuba diving in Andaman Islands
3. Learn the complete rules of Soccer
4. Be proficient in one foreign language.
5. Be a pro driver.
6. The above statement also means I gotta own a vehicle
7. Learn one form of dance
8. Surya Namaskar
9. Shake a leg in a Cruise
10. Travel and more Travel. This could be the best thing. I want to go to the Himalayas and experience the freezing cold.
11. A big satisfying pay cheque
12. Learn to prepare the English breakfast and chicken (this of course would be the desi way)
13. A visit to Hampi. G3, we are gonna make it this year!
14. Prep for prop
15. Own a piece of land/apt
16. A visit to Gnityagram

27. To own a sweet little Pug
28. Enrollment in the eyebank

30. Donate blood

Have a couple of years to give these things a shot. Hope I can cover all these :)

Saibo!

I dont have the count of how many times I actually kept listening to this song and still counting.

Its the Saibo song from the film "Shor in the city". Not sure if its the music or the lyrics or the magic in Shreya Ghoshal and Toshi's voice.
