Why are healthy people shunned for wht they r??

22 years of my life.. till date has been a harrowing experience on one front..! issues regarding my weight! relatives, family and (thankfully only few) frds say " oh, the bangalore water has suited u so well", "why r u so lazy?" " my my.. u have grown couple of inches etc"..!!
the icing on the cake being i get lots of gyaan even from strangers and ppl who dont even make a damn diference to me...
earlier.. i used to feel pity on myself because of my genes am fat and healthy . i was totally convinced i was a no-gooder for sure.. thankfully, my inferiority complex hit a low ebb when i shifted base to bangalore.. the vicious complex now rears its ugly head at times and usually when i have INTENSE discussions abt my SUPERBLY OBESE issue with my family..
After viewing the serial "MAHI WAY" on sony tv, i can relate my plight to the protagonist and i hope against hope that people realise how bad a healthy person feels when poked fun @ always..
I believe.. healthy/obese people are the most jovial persons to know and the never-say-die spirit is imbibed in them in huge quantities.!
So what, we dont find clothes our size @ normal stores.. so what our dressing is restricted to indian.. so what,we struggle to be fit, so what, we are poked fun @.. etc..
At the end of the day.. I am proud of what iam ! have learnt the technique of ek kan se suno and dusre se nikaldo..n
this blog is purely written because i wanted to vent out my feelings ! whts better than writing a blog abt it??
no more words following from my fat brain lols...
more to follow...

Indian Authors...!!

hi ppl...
the babe is back after a very long hiatus of time..!!
iam rewritin this blog since GOOGLE cranked up my earlier write up and it failed to register on my blog..!
i love reading.! it lets u open ur mind for imagination and lets ur creative juices flow..!
recently i have developed a passion of reading novels written by indian authors ( usually mid 20's aged ppl) and these are pure fiction with interesting stories, attention-grabbing titles and the pricing is apt for the student wallet.!
Such writers have a USP of writing in the colloquial language or slangs (as we call it)... we can easily identify with the characters and their apathy since they behave and talk just as we youngsters do in real life..!!
Ah... it feels gr8 reading abt all the Cuss words we use, the masti we do..the romance we feel/or wanna experience etc....
the writing makes u relax for the time being and gives u a sense of brotherhood as u see someone else( here the fictional character) undergoin the same situations as u are!!
From a marketing point of view, the publishers get more visibilty and business since these books cost less ( their Production cost will definitely be less), have an available market, and no need to host book tours of the authors etc..!!
book fanatics like me scrounge up bookstores on a regular basis to find more such books which gives u an easy read and value for ur money...
Such books are usually priced between 100-200.!
Second hand bookstores in bangalore (esp in MG road) gives u more variety of international authors at more or less same rates..
the bookstores are BOOKWORM ( shrungar shopping complex, MG rd) and Blossoms ( Opp Amoeba, church street)..!!
Some Indian authored books i would recommend are:
Almost single by advaitha kala.
Oh SHit! not again..
Of Course i love u till i find someone else..
Mediocre but arrogant and Married but available by abhijit bhaduri
Chip of the old block and so on...
FOr book lovers the must read books are
Kite Runner by khaled hosseini..
Thousand Splendid Suns by khaled hosseini
Tell me ur dreams by sidney sheldon..!!
i guess this much info is good enough..!!!
hope u enjoy reading my suggestions...
muaaahh !!
tc
love khushi !

IPL...!!

hey ppl... the devil is back after a long hiatus of time..!!
i was racking my brains to come up with a topic when suddenly our little wonder of IBS miss priyanka bajaj suggested this topic..!!
though let me confess, iam not a avid follower/fan of cricket..! u can coin me as a layman in terms of cricket..!! however, this is my humble effort to write abt this HUGE FORMAT called the Indian Premier League..!

Kudos to Mr. lalit modi, the brains behind this indian format to come up with a business model which combines glamour,cricket,business and entertainment!!
the moolah raked by the Cricket Authorities in form of franchisees payments, viewer rights, advertisements etc is unimaginable..!!
its sort of a win win situation to all..! stars get more popularity, Max gets more Eyeballs ( as in viewership), new cricketers bein encouraged, indian ppl get their fill of cricket ( considering it as an indian Religion of sorts), voyeurs get their fill by seeing the cheeerleaders and so on..!!
sone pe suhaaga will be for the cricketers who get hefty pay packages..
wht i dnt understand is, wht do the cricketers feel when they are pitted against their own country team mates!?
wht an irony of life, the home team is divided and pitted whereas it is serving as a global interactin platform..!!
phew..no wonder it is complicated for me..! hehhehe..
however.. i personally support many teams..yah i know its weird but kya karen !!
i love Rajasthan Royals for their superb team spirit and abilities..
Kolkata Knight Riders, only and only for my cutie SRK!!
Royal challengers since they are my karmabhoomi team... bengaluru rocks..
SUper Kings because iam crazy abt Muttiah and Dhoni..

IPl bein held in south africa doesnt make much sense! the tickets for the match would have been sold out housefull in india!! tumba loss of revenue there.!!
to conclude.. i like watching it in company of frds with the yelling and shouting and the betting..!! anywyas this also seems a better bet than watching movies in multiplex since no movies are released :(..!!
tc... play safe !!
regards
anu !
