A healthy tip

I hope you guys haven't missed me while I was MIA! Well, I was a bit out of the blogging mood, so that kinda kept me away from Viva la Vida. Now, I've even lost track of my thoughts....

Ok, so according to the Food Detectives, the amount of water a person needs on a daily basis is.............here's the equation:

Your weight / 2 (your weight divided by 2) = water required in ounces, to maintain a healthy system and skin. 

So what they say about an average person requiring about 8 glasses of water a day is true, because ultimately (unless you are underweight or over), the DV of water is somewhere between 55 - 70 oz.

Do some good to yourself and drink up that pure, clear liquid.......WATER!

Edited to add: weight in pounds(lbs) / 2 = water required in oz.......all units in US system

......and I'm back

...after a really long void....well let's call it the leave of absence shall we?
Hmm, now where do I begin!!! Has it ever happened with any of you that blog, you think of a thousand things to write about when you are not blogging, but when you do sit down to blog, everything evaporates and all you can think of is what were those thoughts again? Eventually you end up writing something totally not thought of or something not even remotely close to what you sooo badly wanted the world to know just a couple of hours back!
Anyhooo.....I was sick for the past couple of months or so, been seeing the doc and been on antibiotics and stuff, yet we couldn't figure out what was going on, finally yesterday I decided enough was enough, I stopped the pills(which I was popping like they were M&M's, and trust me if you know me, you'll know how much I love 'em) and guess what? I am feeling so much better today! As my Mr. says about me, the best medicine is not taking any, I'm side-effected to almost all of them. So good riddance to all those pills and all those weird symptoms and I am ready to welcome my old self back, I've been missing ME! Is that even possible to miss yourself? HMM
Whatevs....but I'm so glad to have a hubs like mine, he bore with me all through this tough time and believe me you, it is no party! Although I do feel bad that I lost about 2 months of precious time with my precious family! I know I can never get it back, but I will try my best to make up for it all!

So finally I would say that after those M'lore attacks/PCC and some other social issues my head was spinning dizzy and seeing so many debates on the television and reading views/opinion of people from various walks of life, one thing I noticed is that, no matter how much noise we create w.r.t. these anti-social elements and injustice to the citizens.......I believe that unless the current administration is completely eliminated, and fresh minds are brought in, there is nothing one can do. We fight, we argue, we hold andolans/morchas, send in innerwear, whatever, doesn't matter, eventually everyone has a life to attend to, and they know it. So, I think, it's just a matter of time when the tables will be turned. But we will keep fighting and hoping for that change. Are any of you with me on this?

Have a good one y'all, and you will be reading a lot more from me henceforth.

The irony..

The Final Inch!

Aptly kept title this is, The Final Inch, is all about eradicating Polio in a few countries, the video is for India and Afghanistan now. It airs on HBO in 2009. I have to admit, I didn't really think about this issue until I saw this post on the Google Blog. It got me thinking.....why do we quarrel amongst ourselves over religion, caste, wealth, insanity when there are far more serious issues to fight against? Well, you know me always trying to see an issue in a larger than life picture, that's just my food for thought.
