Chilled

I was walking back from lab and did absolutely no work. Rather than going to my room, I decided to walk further down and just sit outside for a while. A picture I just took, it's extremely cold and my hands are freezing!!!

114 minutes!

Our doubts, suspicions, are they a reflection of who we are ?

25th December 2011 (jumble of phrases )

Walking back home at 2:40 am on a Christmas eve, this place is deserted and it feels like I am the only soul living here. Imran Khan is having a supposedly grand gathering in Karachi , am looking forward to what his plan is going to be for a better Pakistan , I read a bit of Oppenheim's book on signal processing in lab just now, rather skimmed through, had something of a not so nice conversation about going/ not going home early and oh we'll, life moves on.. The air feels supremely fresh , and the surroundings look very clean, a little chilly .. A couple of pictures I just took ate in order.. One is me holding snickers which I got from the vending machine and the other is of my department which I took as soon as I came out..

How I lost 4 KG in one month!

The graphs explains it all..Most of the concepts here were learnt from this book by Dr. Dean Ornish, titled "The Spectrum". This is a really useful book and has taught me about simple things that we all should know and has been far more effective than "dieting" as we know it. I did indulge in things, some of which is visible from the previous posts here, but overall kept a balance. And it really seems to be working. I feel like I lost weight without imposing anything drastic on myself. And really, the change has to be a lifestyle one and not a temporary one to have any lasting impact.

Food indulgence !!!

I have had 2 days of unhealthy food and now I need to arrest this trend before it starts showing up. I have generally had healthy food choices of late with fewer chicken , no raw sugar, much less chocolate , less refined carbohydrates and more wholemeal stuff and no fried stuff. The effects were showing up and I will talk about it in a future post.
For now, well ... one of our colleagues had come for her MPhil viva and it was decided to have dinner outside. We went to this restaurant which have buffet and I properly indulged by my recent standard and ate quite a bit. Here are pictures of my plate :p
