My Weight Loss Secret- Revealed at last

Many people have over the past 3 years repeatedly questioned me about my amazing transformation from fat to fit- losing over 33 Kilos in a little over a year. And acieving enough cardio-vascular fitness that I'm now a regular at long distance sports meets and marathons....

Now, For the first time ever, (on National Television) I am going to Share the secret of my weight loss....So hold on - here it comes.....Its called, Ladies and Gentlemen....WILLPOWER...

Yes, you heard it right.. I lost all that weight with my mind...Of course, dieting helped and so did exercise- but first and foremost you really have to make up your own mind- accept that you are fat (when you look in the mirror) and avoid trying to find excuses - saying fat people do lead happy lives...take it from me, they dont.

I've been through it all - Binge-eating, serial dieting, blaming others...everything - before I found the courage to accept that it was I who was responsible and I Have to change..

Late at night, when everyone's asleep and you cant go to sleep with hunger pangs - because you are on a calorie-restriction diet...thats when your mind and will-power really need to be strong.

You give in to temptation and something tastes so good that you help yourself liberally to it and feel sick about it later - know you have gained back a few kilos that you reduced just last week....thats when you have to be strong, refuse to give into depression and go back to a starvation-diet till you get back to where you dropped off the wagon...Willpower helps.

So - the secret to weight loss is a strong mind and living like a monk avoiding all temptations as acts off the devil.....I've been on the fast-track path to sainthood for the past three years....

And of course, starvation helps. F**K those doctors/nutritionists and all those diet-advocates...just drink water and restrict yourself to just one meal a day..see how fast you slim down- and you wont die that easy - you are a product of 5 million years of evolution - your body was made to starve....and you'll lose weight even when you sleep.

So, drink water, plenty of water whenever you feel hungry...And be strong...

Good luck, with your weight loss.....

Kandhasamy the Movie - Review...

Well, I am for once completely non-plussed after watching a movie. Woah! Hold on, you're thinking - was the movie so good?. Thankfully NO. It was average at best, Boring frequently with the usual convoluted tamil-film plot and an atrocious Cock-Makeup and acting sequence by actor Vikram who could have quite frankly dispensed with it for all the difference it made to the movie-experience.

But why am I bewiildered?. The Villian - for God's sake. Second time this year, at a Super-hero movie, the vilian has not only taken the cake but eaten it too.....The notional villian in Kandhasamy, Ashish Vidyarthi, is just about Ok. What I'm talking about, the "Real Villian" about whom a chance remark from the row in front of me at Abirami Mall (noon show) where I'd gone to watch the movie, alone as usual, was the one who intrigued me. As per the story (spoiler alert) the villian is a Nationally- respected Software-czar, with more than a passing resemblance to living persons, who calls himself the "Face of New India". Ring a bell? I was alerted to the resemblance to a gentleman from Bangalore by a group of , of all the people, software students sitting in the front row. They would know, wouldn't they?

Anyway it was all fun after that. Every time the villian appeared somone in the audience would cat-call "Naraya......" or "Inf...." everytime a raid was conducted on the company and hero Vikram would lecture on how these software companies cheat the Indian poor by hiding their profits abroad. What was even more fun was someone was screaming the above "gentlemans" (?) daughters name (I didn't even know he had a daughter till I saw the movie) "Va...." everytime Shriya Saran appeared on the screen - doing Hawala transactions for her father in skimpy outfits/foriegn locales...It was total fun after that, trying to watch the movie and compare it to recent happenings on the news - edge of the seat stuff, trying to understand....

Now, my question is, and I am breaking my head over this (Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,Please).....Does director Susi Ganesan really have some info/dirt on this gentleman and had written it into the screenplay? Or has college students in Chennai picked up a passing resemblance and turned it into a caricature of the "Face of Indian Software Industry"? I can't judge either way without adequate evidence....Will the Real Slim Shady please Stand-up?

Over to you Susi.......
