Health Foods - Myth or Truth

I find many sites offering advice and comprehensive plan for reducing weight through "health food" and "diet planning". There are many ads which give emphasis to food as directly related to weight and health. Many people are weight conscious or at least more worried about how they look. So whenever they come across such advertisements, people tend to change  their diet pattern and are willing to go through a course of such diet which they feel that it will reduce their fat/weight.

But, is diet planning alone sufficient? Why many people fail to realize that they have gained weight because of that diet only. Just by planning their food pattern alone won't get them a slim, sleek and robust look. Physical fitness and activities are also required. Both food and physical activities go hand in hand. But, today's media is giving more emphasis for food and lesser emphasis for physical activities and people are misguided that if they are going to follow "diet" then their body weight will reduce.Some of them realize soon, but some realize it very late.

Better wear your shoes and go for a jog, before having an oatmeal.

Hard Reality

I woke up and suddenly i came to know that I was 25 years old this day. When I looked back all these years, all I have is a glorious school life and college life. Now I am struck and unable to move ahead. When I further analysed  about myself, I found that the mistake was with me. All these years, I didn't have anything passionate in my life. I didn't stick on to any particular thing. I just did what others did and no one around me instructed or said that it is good or bad, because they let me choose my way.

Time and again, I came to cross roads of my life and become very indecisive and sometimes I laugh at myself for my "lack passion" attitude in my life. I always want to achieve something real big in my life, but I didn't know what to do. It is like taking a white canvas of largest size and having all colors and different sizes of paint brushes without knowing (what) to paint. Many friends were with me so far, and I hope at least some remembers me. Many have forgotten me, though I haven't forgotten them. I guess it is the society and their social commitments apart from their personal priorities, which has pushed me away from their mind. Or also because of my stagnancy and others' progress, due to which I may not be visible in their line of sight.

Sitting in home and trying to attain something in order make people around you happy for 3 years is difficult because I know, and that is what I am doing and unfortunately it is not synchronized with my likes and desire. But life is like that only. People around you expect you to finish certain unfinished business even though you may not like it even a single bit. At times, I also regret why the hell I am still confined inside 4 walls called home. I just feel like going out somewhere unknown and unaware and start a new life out there and I do believe in me and I have the capacity. But by doing so, I will be breaking hearts of many loved ones who were by my side during my troubled times and such an act of mine will turn out be a "real selfish act".

Come what may, I have decided to finish off the task in hand. I know it is difficult. Nothing in this world is very easy. I know, I don't like it. But now I don't have a choice because earlier it was my call and I chose this task. I know, I have to struggle and it would be very bitter. If a nation needs independence from its conquerors, it needs to put up a bitter struggle. To make my life better and not to repeat the mistakes, I have to put the same kind of struggle with myself.

Whatever that has been done, cannot be undone. But, whatever that needs to be done can be done in a better manner.
