Till Death Do Us Part!!!

The

 mar·riageNoun/ˈmarij/

The formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife.
It is said that marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth. The popular belief is true to many extent, because it is a special bond shared between two souls, who tie the wedding knot after promising to be companions for a lifetime.

It is the physical, mental and spiritual unison of two souls. It brings significant stability and substance to human relationships, which is otherwise incomplete.


It plays a crucial role in transferring the culture and civilization from one generation to the other, so that the human race is prospered. The institution of marriage is beneficial to the society as a whole, because it is the foundation of the family, which in turn is the fundamental building block of the society.

Get ur Hands Dirty For a Cause!!

Hey y'all,

Today, on my way to the Kukkarahalli kere Lake (university lake) for a Jog, I met a couple of guys getting their hands dirty...don't get it twisted, it was all for a cause "save the trees". It was fascinating so i asked one of them if i could take snaps of the trees and he said yes, and here is how it went down;

Big Up Prashanth Pachi and your college mates for doing this.

knowing your weaknesses is key to weight loss

How we wish this works too, lol

Forget counting calories or eating according to your blood type. If you really want to lose weight, it seems you need to pay attention to your personality type. According to clinical neuroscientist Daniel Amen, slimmers are wasting time and energy trying diet plans which will simply never work - because they are not genetically capable of sticking to them. So instead of heading straight to the gym, he says, they should start with an exercise in self-awareness - identifying their weaknesses and working out what makes them want to eat.

In a controversial new book published in the U.S., Dr Amen defines five categories of overeater: compulsive overeaters, impulsive overeaters, compulsive-impulsive overeaters, sad or emotional overeaters and anxious overeaters. He goes on to argue that his research shows each group must avoid certain foods - and eat more of others - in order to lose weight. He writes: ‘We looked at the brains of our overweight patients and discovered there was not one brain pattern associated with being overweight: there were at least five different types. 

This is exactly the reason why most diets don’t work. They take a one-size-fits-all approach.’ Compulsive eaters, he argues, ‘tend to get stuck on thoughts of food’. For these types, high-protein diets are said to be unhelpful, because these foods are thought to increase focus - which compulsive types already have plenty of. Instead, Dr Amen suggests they eat more complex carbohydrates, which help the body produce more serotonin, improving mood. But serotonin-boosting carbohydrates are, he argues, disastrous for impulsive sorts because they simply lower their control further.
Instead, these types should eat foods such as chicken and oats, which raise levels of dopamine in the brain and boost concentration.  
For compulsive-impulsive eaters, Dr Amen suggests focusing on exercise, while emotional types should increase the amounts of omega-3 fatty acids they consume, which help calm the body by reducing inflammation. Anxious overeaters, who use food ‘to medicate their feelings of tension, nervousness and fear’, should avoid alcohol and caffeine, he argues, and choose a diet high in the amino acid glutamine, which is in lentils, broccoli and nuts.
 
Dr Amen’s claims have, however, been met with scepticism. Dietician Evelyn Toner said: ‘I agree that a lot of problems with weight are down to personality. There are comfort eaters, bingers or, on the other hand, people who turn away from food completely when they are stressed. ‘But it is about changing behaviour and habits rather than specific foods... a binge eater will overeat no matter what food it is.’

Dietician Priya Tew added: ‘People could read this book and say: “It’s my personality. That’s why I’m not losing weight.”  My concern is it could be used as an excuse.’

Music Makes us Lose Control

Hey'all,
So i may not know the dictionary definition of the word Music but i know how good i feel when i hear a good piece of music. I don't know about others but i know when am in certain moods i need to listen to the kinda music that fits the mood and viola, me happy!!. Well gospel music is always the best choice no matter the mood, so i've been listening to some new tracks, both gospel and secular and so far anything without the B* word, F* word, A-w* word, etc, is the kinda music that i need to be listening to more often (clean music) especially after being pissedoff by the traffic police, or very annoying lecturers, or just having a bad day coz things haven't gone as i planned them to (to prevent me from doing what i may end up regreting sooner or later)

My fav album for the past 3months is "HELLO FEAR" by KIRK FRANKLIN.
