Is food a friend of the lonely?
It is strange isn’t it? We have so many platforms to communicate through, yet we are lonelier than ever. We have do many people to talk to, yet we are unable to share our truest, deepest feelings. Earlier, I felt like eating whenever I felt alone. While watching television or a movie or while readingContinue reading “Is food a friend of the lonely?”
Villagers And The Great Outdoors
This time when I visited my village Leelki, I learnt something new. In the world of fitness, we are told to minimize wheat and avoid eating this or that.

Why do people like exercise?
I have a very strange relationship with exercise. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. Yesterday, when I went to the gym, I had to lift weights. The weights were heavy. It took a lot of pain and effort to lift them. I see men and some women lifting weights. The pain thatContinue reading “Why do people like exercise?”
