My Weight Increased by 7 pounds...

I managed to maintain my weight at 148-150 pounds for almost 4-5 months. Then, i had to stop running due to foot injury. Last 2 months, i have not been running at all. No other form of physical exercise too..My eating habits are bad now, not that i eat high calorie food. I have been overeating regular food. I guess 30% over my regular diet. Breakfast has been Bagel and Creamcheese as usual. I guess Lunch and Dinner are the culprits. Dinners were normally 1 pita or 1 paratha or 2 chapati. I am eating rice (should i say overeating) for dinner. My weight now is 157. This has to be stopped. So, what can i do? For starter, i plan to eat only one packet of oatmeal for dinner, i am not sure if i can eat the oats with water, i may mix with milk to boil it. I will post after a week about my progress.

GV Prakash An Insult to AR Rahman Gene

When i first heard about GV Prakash and him being relative of ARR made me watch him close. I listened to Vellithirai movie songs with interest...I liked "Kanji Paanai Mela". Then one fine day as i tuned into Y100 FM (Country Music Channel in San antonio), i heard "Somebody Like You" by "Keith Urban" in album "tour dates". Everything, Every note is just the same..I am sure he would have told the lyrics writer to listen to this engligh song and write a lyrics for that...I am not even sure if his music troop actualaly played it or he stole the sound track as well and put on Vellithirai....Sorry, Prakash Raj...You are a Original Guy and not sure if you knew this copy. Now, i really thiink, if any of his other songs are original or shifted from others. Let me listen to Y100 more...

I have stopped Running...

I am injured on my foot after my 10 mile run n Jan 28, 2008. I developed a nerve knot on my left foot (Imagine, what happens to feet after banging it to ground 8000 times...Yes, we hit our foot to ground 800 times per mile). I didnt care for it a lot in the beginning and continued to run 50 miles in Feb and 50 Miles in March. Then in April, as the pain started to become a real PAIN, i went a met a doc. He advised me to stop running immediately as i am hurting the feet even more. He asked me to come in 4 weeks and if its still bad, he has to use knife to cut it off and leave me in crutch till it heals....Oops....Now comes the realisation....I have stopped running since 3 weeks and my pain is completely subsided and the nerve knot is slowly curing. I am putting on a Callaus Holes to give it come comfort....Even after it cures completely i may run 3-4 miles per week...not more than 1 mile at a time...SO whats happened ot me now...I am still eating the same and with no excercise, i have put on 6 pounds....I tried to stop eating bagel for 3 days and reduced 3 pounds....Lets see what future has in stire..I am thinking of doing weights and crunch,...but have not implemented it yet...Imagine, if thinking of doing excercise can reduce weight and put muscles....

Tomato Story

A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.



'You are employed' he said.. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.



The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.



'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'



The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate..

He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round.. In less than two hours,

he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times,

and returned home with $60.



The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.



Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.



5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ...

He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.



He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.

When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.

The man replied,'I don't have an email.'

The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'



Moral of the story



Moral 1

Internet is not the solution to your life.



Moral 2

If you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

The Consultant

Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the
side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a
halt.
The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes,
Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin
tie gets out and asks the shepherd, "If I can tell you how many
sheep you have, will you give me one of them?"
The shepherd looks at the young man, and then looks at the large
flock of grazing sheep and replies, "Okay."
The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax,
enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a
database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot
tables. He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-
printer, turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586
sheep."
The shepherd cheers, "That's correct, you can have your sheep."
The young man takes an animal and puts it in the back of his Porsche.
The shepherd looks at him and asks, "If I guess your profession, will
you return my animal to me?"
The young man answers. "Yes, why not"?
The shepherd says, "You are a Consultant."
"How did you know?" asks the young man.
"Very simple," answers the shepherd. "Firstly, you came here without
being wanted. Secondly, you charged me a fee to tell me something I
already knew. Thirdly, you don't understand anything about my
business..."
".....Now can I have my dog back?"

Now, take a look at this...


101%



>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did.

Have a nice day & God bless !

There was this young man, unaccomplished, but born to a rich father.
He is wandering in life, when one day the doctor tells him that his
father is going to die.........

He wishes to marry so that he can enjoy the company of a beautiful
woman and his father's wealth...... ..

He is looking around when he spots a most naturally beutiful woman.
He approaches her one day and aks her out for a cup of coffee. During
their interaction he pours his heart out, admits his failings, his
desire to marry her and tells her, even though I am not successful,
my father is going to die soon and leave me a 100mn

A week later his father calls him to introduce his soon to be step
mother.

Women are so much better at estate planning, aren't they ??

Letter to Bill Gates

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your
notice.

1. After connecting to Internet we planned to open e-mail account andwhenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checkedwith hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problemin keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password*****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.

2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down ' button.

3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We requestyou to check this.


4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run 'has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", sothat we can click that by sitting.

5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lostthe door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug??

7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.

8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning 'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home tocollect ur money.

9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoftsentence', so when u will provide that?


Best regards,Banta Singh
