Chotu's birthday

Sirisha celebrated her birthday on 16th and 17th .... (i still don understand the logic)...

We gals starved (for a stupid reason..!!!) but it was soooo much fun. Nair, you missed it dude!! and the cake was from VACS( do I need to get more descriptive :D). and I m posting just for the pics.. here it goes..

bday gal and push....(her permed hair was so awesome..)

i look so eeeek....but just for dukhi aatma(manasa) its here!!!

thats almost 100000 calories (a very WIDE guess..) but I gave a damn!! :D

surprisingly anand's thumb is up... usually,he always has one favourite finger :D

I wish she could play that.... :D

they say DIET is "die" with a "T"....and they are right...

A person who could have a 2kg chocolate (or any flavour) cake all by herself....
A person who could have 5 people's plates together and then puke and get ready for another meal.....
A person who gave a DAMN about calories ....
A person who could have two packets of hide and seek for supper....

and this person was asked to diet.... No prizes for guessing, this person is I,me,myself...

Its called extravagant expectation..*laughs*
There was a point of time (pretty recently..) when I thought, "why the hell should I deprive myself of good food?","why should I control my lust (for food) just to look like one of those females in leggings and a skin tight top with hay in the head ?"
but when I wore my favourite white shirt after almost two months and it was loose ...the high was different... yes, gymming did something for me...

I understood that losing weight is a serious business, almost like meditation,requires insane discipline, sense of MODERATION, and a lot of will.....

but somehow I love myself more than before and I m very comfortable about how I look and what I am. I do not feel guilty of my very frequent tendencies of gluttony because the more I deprive myself of something the more I over-indulge. So I have decided to make some amendments to my diet and keep calling myself a foodie :-)

The poem was written as a part of an advertisement for Frankfinn Institute , but it just pierced through my heart so I want to share it.

Is it okay for a girl to work towards looking beautiful?

there are girls who are born oh so beautiful I was not

while all the boys chased them I tagged along playing the best friend

and I prayed,"please please please god make me beautiful"

then one day a strange thing happened no one was at home and I was with the mirror

a voice started to speak

"It is not the face you are born with, It is the confidence that you wear on it"

"It is not the eyes your mom gave to you but what you do with them you know,sometimes coy,sometimes flirty"

"It is not how tall you are , but how tall you walk"

with a thudding heart I realised The voice I was hearing was my own

"beauty is not what they think of you but what you think of yourself"

and i said out aloud," yes, I m beautiful"
