June... still feeling lost ...

  Blogging in June because - after so long i have been lost like this

• Reading Beyond Authority - feeling good about that 
• Weight gain continues - feel bad about that 
• Missing Ranbaxy like crazy - I keep wondering why did i leave ? 
• There are many things that i don't want to talk about - Just avoiding the thoughts - but they still keep coming back 
• Brought a new Laptop - lenovo - too many things to learn 
• At work - very busy but not engaged  - now i understand what that means 
• confused - am i doing what is easy or i am doing what is right ?
• We were looking for a celebrity trainer - i realized organizations are willing to pay a ransom for them to come and talk... i will have to do something to become a celebrity because just being a good trainer is not enough you will be paid peanuts.
•  Minu scored 82 and Afsha 92 - felt proud
• got final settlement from Ranbaxy
• Celebrated Jagdish's 50th BD 
• Aunty at home for her treatment. 
• Kabirs Birthday celebration 
• HRC, IVY, with Liz at varsova  & several other parties in June drank wine and had fish in my so called non drinking year - why did i do that - just like that 

hoping to chase my dreams in the months ahead but as of now still feeling lost...

Sarva Dharma Mamabhav

1st May - World Labor Day




Rested whole day



Reminded of a discussion on “Sarva Dharma Samabhav” – all religions are equal and someone talked about a higher Value of “Sarva Dharma Mamabhav” – all religions are mine



I was happy to use this while differentiating between management and leadership and how leaders follow a higher value of ownership of diversity.



Great thought – simple yet profound

Vagabond – These Desires doesn’t die

Read this article in newspaper about a couple traveling around the globe for the past 12yrear. They have traveled 45 countries and had four children during this time. It’s an alternative life style. Felt envious


Thought of listing my wishes too

• I wish to travel around India for 3-6 months in a SUV ( wish many friends join in on some parts)

• Trips with Noor and Kids to Switzerland, Philippines, Europe and US.

• Want to be a bag packer and travel South East Asia and Tibet for 4 to 6 months.

• Visiting the base camps of all the top 10 mountains in the world

• A long trip to south America & Africa

• Indulge in Adventure sports in New Zealand

I am very sure this is not a complete list it’s just the top ten, twelve trip that I wish to take …

Wish to find time to peruse this. Need to prioritize this

My Experiments at losing weight

In the year 2011 crossed 80kg - touched 81 – ever highest

I let it go there thinking that I would lose it in 2012 as would be off drinks and Non-veg food as Usual for a year. To my surprise by end Jan touched 81 Kgs in spite of no alcohol and No Drinks. Had controlled my diet and exercised for at least 15 days in Jan.

I understand my constitution – if I consume 2500 calories a day I will maintain status, for additional consumption of 3500 calories I gain 1 Kg. 30 to 40 min of Exercise like walking or running and I burn 500 calories. I have to get the balance right. I think 1 was good in January and should have lost 2 kgs but to my surprise gained one.

My Boss Suggested I consume Oats daily – so from Feb. the consumption started. In two months I have lost 5 kgs. Yes oats helped me reduce my food portions, I did exercise 10 day each month and kept my daily intake around 2500 calories. I increased my daily water intake, reduced my carb intake too and skipped dinner on few occasions.

I have set a target of loosing 5kgs buy May end let’s see if oats dose the magic…
