Archie’s TV spot says March 8th is wife’s day. Need I say more?

As suspected the gardner ran away with an advance he took from me yesterday.. …

Not a day more… I know thats something my husband wont agree, but then, who listens to husband anyways 😉

A (Promised) rose garden to be in full bloom by July, A Norah Jones CD and A Dirty Dancing CD – gifts collected so far. Mom yet to come, but I know she is getting a blue Lucknowi dress for me.

The cook took an unexpected off so we went to Tuli’s Afgani restaurant for Lunch. Looks like will go again for dinner somewhere, Tarique says he forbids me to cook on my birthday.

Yeeee yipppe.. eeeehhaaaaa yoo hooo We won WE WON

Aasim screaming with Joy, listining to the fire crackers outside after India’s victory over Pakistan. Its almost Diwali once again

What do you do when you meet a young man and ask him “have you heard Love to Love you baby” by Donna Summers?

You play it for him 🙂

That’s what I am doing right now for a friend of mine who wasnt even born when we first heard this song in 70’s

This.

Its not only makes business sense to start a relationship basing on the premise of *not* trusting an individual – it also makes a lot of sense in social relationships.

Not trusting to me is an act of self preservation. For me, in any In a transaction or a relationship, I have to know where I stand. I also need to know where to place my stop loss and when to increase it or let it go – For this I need to start with a -ve balance of trust and let it grow.. if it crosses the line and starts creeping towards the +ive, I know I can invest more.

This has always been my basis of any transaction and I feel it will be true for most people who value themselves and till date most of the relationship that matter to me have a positive balance.

This is what I found out today:

Optimal heart rate for maximum calorie burning

220 – (your age) *.70 = your heart rate which should be maintained for maximum calorie burning while you exercise.

Talking your heart rate above the optimum will burn glucose (will keep heart fit but wont burn fat) and keeping it below.. well the less said the better 🙂

I realised over past one month, I changed my walking path and instead of loosing weight I ended up gaining a KG. Reason – the new walking route had more traffic and I had to walk slower but longer… Then to make up for that I jogged in the ground – that burnt the glucose – my stamina increased but fat.. fat did not go away – perhaps some more of it got accumulated thanks to my allergies (that made me eat more to feel better) and the wedding I attended followed by Id.

So from today onwards, I am on to a new exercise regime.. Will see the changes and record it in this journal after a month.
