And now over to health section...

Researchers at the University Laval in Quebec, Canada, have concluded that too much thinking can make you fat.

Chaput added: "Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fact we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries.
"This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature."

Shores crossed

So much has changed over a period of time. Before 10 years I was a student and here I am, a student again. But more distant from that part of myself. 

Some crazy moments, which exist as memory are still churned in my mind like a cow churning its fodder, are past. The process is unending. Mind dwindles in past and future and loses track of present. Its difficult to keep a tab of current droplets of life which fill the jar of life. 

Thoughts which are so transparent at this moment, were so opaque earlier. It is so easy to gain access of opportunities or close the door tightly. Its a matter of choice after all. Colors can be as bright, as tightly you can close your eyes or open them and observe. The sky today looks the same even though my location has changed. I can see the same constellations that I could see from my college terrace, football ground in Mumbai and now here. 

Fulfilling dreams is an important step in life. Things which can be done very easily are postponed and thus are sacrificed for something else. The grains of sand can fly with the wind if they let go of their fear. The words are the same its just the usage that makes great orators, poets or authors more better than their counterparts. 

The footprints in the sand remain though the water gushes towards the shore. Its just that shores are crossed and new terrains ventured.

Sometimes...

...its fun just to dip your head in the snow on the street, when everyone else is watching you.
...its rude to be good with everyone.
...its simple to be complicated and wonder about the complicated life. 
...its difficult to listen to Inspector Vijay jokes (courtesy Ashwin).
...its easy to cook food, with people screaming in your ear.
...its hard to see your dear ones suffer.
...its absorbing to plan for a steady future but know that its subjected to change.
...its exciting to visit unknown places with zero or 100% expectations.
...its different to observe at a smiley which is as confused as you are.
...its an cake-walk to be more nostalgic in class than in your bed room.
...its killing to watch someone suffer for no fault of theirs.
...its kewl to be uncool.
...its frustrating to limit life to 24 hours.
...its natural to be tensed about things beyond your control.
...its reliving to live in moments.
...its untidy to be more tidier than other people.
...its funny to watch people react on your stupid comments.
