R's environmentally friendly house.

My stint with R’s house

After returning to Hyderabad after my long stay away from this city, I was in for quite a few surprises which started right as soon as I reached R’s house.

(As a short background to things, before I left from Hyderabad about 2.5 months back… I had to move out of my then current rental apartment where I lived for more than 2 years, coz of some redevelopment aspirations of my landlord)

1) Here I come into the R’s apartment. First stop the Bathroom. This part of the house totally resembled a cat’s post hair shedding scene. Not to forget all sizes of cockroaches.

2) I saw the fan working at full speed with double capacity. 0.5 time’s capacity: blowing off some air. 1.5 time’s capacity: super whacky sounds making sure that I don’t miss the city traffic’s loud honking horns.

3) 20 minutes later, the fan decided to die. So no fan for the rest of the duration of stay.3) Evening: I retire into the bed, only to find out that there were already to 2 new species that already had the legal authority over the bed. Ants and Mosquitoes.

4) I had a surprise visitor jumping into the house from the Kitchen -> A cat. (Maybe that can be an explanation to the Bathroom scene… LOL)

5) I open the balcony doors, only to be greeted by lizards.

6) Also, not to forget that it takes some real destructive engineering brains to switch on/off the lights of the bathroom.

Over and over, a house which was totally environmentally friendly… :-P :-D

I’m writing this blog only with a view of light humor (except that when R reads it, I’m sure he is gonna grab me by the neck and choke me till unconsciousness)… but I’m really thankful to R for letting me stay at his place when I needed it the most. Thanks dude!

The General Motors Diet

Recently, I tumbled upon this quote from Henry Ford->"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." Somewhere i did believe it and tried to associate almost every action of an individual to this quote, and interestingly it turns out to be true.

I was always amused by people who regularly indulge into Gymnasium workouts and healthy diet regimes for weight loss; and considered that this is not my cup of tea. But i came across this link, which had a simple diet plan lasting only a week, and guaranteed to produce "atleast" some results. Here's the link: http://msync.org/health/GeneralMotorsDiet.html

I must say that i did follow this diet like a book of law for that particular week and did nothing more or less as mentioned in the diet regime. I actually took up this program to make the statement by henry ford proven true. Coz initially i had this belief that i cant diet, and then i realized it was finally all mind games.

And yes, it did produce some changes. For me it was 4 kgs in a week... Now that was a deal!!

P.S. Do not try such a thing without consulting a Dietitian. I have to say this, coz on one of the days, due to unavoidable circumstances, i could not have any food for almost the entire day. And as an end result, I felt mild unconsciousness for a while. I also have cases of people who could not even continue after the first day itself and have fainted big time. So, be safe!

The Crazy Balls

Thank you Blogger.com for continuing my account... I know haven't used it for like ages now... :)


Trying to get back to telling more stories... Let me start with this one on letting go off frustration.

Back then as a child, i was very fond of playing with a "Crazy Ball". For those who do not know what a crazy ball is, here's the definition... A crazy ball is a just like another ball made of rubber, with one special twist... It bounces off with equal force when you throw it in some direction, and keeps jumping, spinning in crazy directions, for a long time. A reference: In the recent advertisement of Sony Bravia televisions, you can see thousands of these let free on a downtown street.

Here's a Pic to make it clear...



Well, where the hell is the connection with letting go off frustration.

As a kid, i loved to run behind this ball all around the house, and also practice hitting targets with it.

This activity i recently applied to letting go off my frustration. I took a Printout of the name of the person who was making life hell for me recently, Pasted it on the wall, and with this Crazy ball started my childhood activity of target practice.

Believe me after half an hour of this, i was all relieved and back to regular business.

Two things i would like to mention:

1) Nobody on this earth can make you feel miserable, unless you really want it to happen. This applies to both Love and Hatred.


2) Never let go off the child in you, coz there would be no genius without some madness and the childish insanity within. :)
