“Pehle mein bahuth moti thi…Bahuth pareshan thi…” an
American model was whining in a language completely foreign to her
The dubbing voice made sure, it did justice with the modulation and the model’s
expression
A photo which bore no resemblance to her was flashing at the top of the screen.
The girl…errr…. rather woman on the photo was 5 times the size of the model who
was talking. It was yet another advertisement for one of
the getting-thin-in-10-days type of products. I don’t understand how these
people could (claim to) so easily go to Amazon forest to make all kinds
of products time and again
Offlate, people have become a lot more health
conscious which is of course a very good sign. Products that claim to have only
natural products, no added sugar, no added fat are the hot cakes(I mean cakes
without sugar and no added fat
) in the market. There are heath tips shared at every given chance. Beetroot
juice, Carrot juice are on a close competition to bag the first palce as
the most sought after juices in the juice counter
All is well till it doesn’t go overboard..But if it does… Phew!
Brownie- The
enemy
I went out with a cousin of mine and her
friends…It’s a type of gang that asks “Do you use skimmed milk?” to a completely
confused saravan bhavan waiter on seeing the menu card
So I ended up with such a gang in a coffee shop. While scanning the menu card,
my eyes got struck at a brownie picture and was so tempted to have it. We placed
orders… I didn’t pay heed to what they ordered as my mind was too pre occupied
with the brownie picture flashing every second. Orders arrived. I had a 1000
watt smile seeing my love arrive exclusively for me
I was all set… As soon as my knife touched it, one of the girls yelled out “OMG!
You are going to have this? “ I looked around, observing my brownie in all
possible directions to find atleast a minor defect. It looked very much perfect
to me and of course more tempting now! Seeing my perplexed look, she continued
“Sooooo many calories…. Just can’t think of it! I would have to starve for a
week to compensate that”
I dropped my knife for a split of a second… Later, I replied “Ahhh! Good that
you told me… Else I would have offered it to you! ” and I continued enjoying my
brownie dearest
Say Cheeeese
Am a big fan of cheese right from when I was a kid!
I still remember, when in school, I used to have cheese cubes for snacks. I used
to relish cheese with so much love that seeing me eat like that, my neighbour
who is a milk hater started eating cheese… of course… got addicted to it
Going by my cheese love history, I first look out for cheese related starters…
mostly I just have starters and desserts… skip the main course
I shouted “Cheese balls” as my vote for starter… My sister paid no heed!
She ordered some lettuce based starter quoting “Cheese is not good…Have healthy
food always”
I felt like a rabbit…feeding on the lettuce leaves
Similar incidents have happened with my dil ki
dadkan… chocolates… people were so opposed to our love for eachother that they
tried all possible means to pull us apart! But as you know… Love conquers all
hurdles! And we found eachother inseparable
So what am trying to tell is… Eat healthy! But don’t
let it dig a grave and bury your taste buds as well as that of others next to
you
So #NoteToSelf: Never go to a restaurant with
fitness freaks
