How does one feel when their eyes feast on the lush green grass. For the past 2 days I worked hard to recreate a mini garden just in front of my house. I have this satisfaction that whatever I visualized has come true. It did burn a hole in my pocket but in the end it was worth it.

We engaged some labourers to to excavate the earth which was littered with concrete and replace it with freshly dug out red mud. The carpet grass was then laid on the mud and wow it's just looking awesome. There was some cute plants planted in between the grass. Our neighbours can just look and stare :)

What's it about hair that makes people go nuts. Today when I was commuting by bus I saw a lady with scanty hair on her head. She was obviously losing hair very fast. Her forehead was bare and clearly visible. I wondered as to what was going through her mind when people were staring at her.


One of the worst nightmares which everyone has when it comes to their appearance is about their crowning glory. We all love people who have beautiful hair and empathize with those who don't. Katrina Kaif, Sushmitha Sen, Priyanka Chopra, Shahrukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty are some of the celebrities who come to mind when one thinks of beautiful hair. Hritik Roshan in one of his candid interviews has stated that his worst fear was of losing hear. Well we know why...here is a clue...Papa Rakesh Roshan :) So it's all in the genes did one say.

People fear the worst when they start losing hair. Even I am sometimes apprehensive about my hair but touchwood so far except for the slight hair loss near my temple there hasn't been any serious concern. Hang on...Bald is in too. Look at Vin Diesel. So people needn't despair :)

Over the past 4 weeks, I have been hitting the gym quite frequently. It's been more than a year since I left gymming. Ever since I have come back home, the growing sign of prosperity has been my paunch. Thanks to mom's pampering, I have gained a good amount of fat especially in the abdomen area.

I was alarmed when I looked at my paunch and decided to take action. It's been a lot of hardwork but the results have begun to show. My waistline has started to trim down and my stamina has increased. I also feel a bit lighter and energetic. There is a spring in my stride. Now my effort is to maintain the consistency so that I get a lean and mean body. My favorite is the cardio where I burn upto 240 calories and then the workout for the abs. The weight training part takes care of the muscles.
