40 rules 2 make life beautiful

My friend sent me a mail that had 40 rules to make life beautiful ...I tried to make them sound more rational.

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant. - Yeah but don’t smile 2much … it might b counter productive!!

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to...and lock ur family in the bathroom?!

3. Record your late night shows and get more sleep….but if ur sleeping alone watch the shows!!!

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to____ today.’….and unlike everyday, implement that ‘dash’!!!

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy…but don’t forget the F’s... ull like them [I was talking bout Fun, Flowers, Fashion ...etc]
6. Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did in the last year…or at least say u did... No1 has time to check!!!

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives…. But not for the cars [even if there is a strike]

8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6……and soon ull behave like them!!!

9. Dream more while you are awake….and work more while u sleep???

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants, roam wearing an underwear on the road and ppl will call u Tarzan!!!

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water.. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts together…..and ull b the only one, doing so on planet earth!!!

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.. doesn’t matter if they have to do it on gun point!!!

13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life…saying, “hey!! U needed those books!!!!”

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. .. Those stocks are high all the time irrespective of frauds!!!

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. …bunk school and forget bout it!!!

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar...now that’s what I call a multiple personality disorder !!!

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away ......and make u feel like one!!!

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. .. Yeah ull pass next time... Keep trying!!!

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone….just shoot him!!!

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does... but me...

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree... just like you agree to disagree with pt 21. [I challenge 2 win]

22. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present…..and screw ur present so u can make peace with It in the future!!!

23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about…… even if you have an idea bout everything... don’t compare!!!

24. Burn the candles, use the nice bed sheets, don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special. …that’s the best line!!

25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you... so get in charge & slap that irritating neighbor of urs!!!

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, wills this matter?' … that will give u a museum of disasters!!!!

27. Forgive everyone for everything…and ppl will call u a fool!!!

28. What other people think of you is none of your business... that does not mean u behave like a jerk!!!

29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time… & time will time the times for u, time after time … ..Now count the no of times I have typed time!!

30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.. So stop complaining about the weather, the job, the rents etc etc…weather might change soon.. but complaining will not change ur job and rent unless U DO SUMTHING!!!!!!!

31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.. with the job and go out with frnds and family..till ur boss throws u and ur ideas out of the office building!!!

32. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.. and 90% of the things will b out!!

33. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need…..anyways she’s dating sum1 else!!!

34. The best is yet to come. .. so let it come…carry on with ur work.. don’t practically WAIT for it like a pyramid!!!
35. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up... and then get kicked by every1 for screwing their day... [Rest if u don’t feel good... no need 2 show people ur a super hero..no one is]

36. Do the right thing! hmm for that u should know . ..WHATS THE RIGHT THING!!!!

37. Call your family often. … Till nostalgia kills u all!!

38. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: 'I am thankful for ___.' Today I accomplished ____.... and although u can repeat the “'I am thankful for ___.”.. everyday; for god sake let the “Today I accomplished ____” differ!!!!!!!!!!!!

39. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed....and god was too stressed 2 bless u!!

40. Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disneyworld and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

Chandni Chowk To China

Just came across this article on weight loss… No it’s not about working out in the gym or punishing your self with some strict diet... on the contrary such things were not even mentioned in that article. Well the article actually stated that eating with chopsticks helps u lose weight. :) Hmm… yup it was kind of shocking to me also :)
According to Kimiko Barber, the author of 'In The Chopsticks Diet', "Eating with chopsticks slows you down, and so you eat less." also eating with chopsticks means taking smaller mouthfuls, which tend to get chewed better, slowing down the meal, and making it easier to digest. Another logical point is that, most of the delicious sauce that we use in our meal (usually made of butter and oil) is left in the plate if chopsticks used instead of spoons. :).
I am sure people who just can’t restrict their diet would love to try this method out... after all this would mean they can eat anything as long as they know to use their chopsticks well :)

Getting $tarted

Yes! I have finally created an account on blogger.com. Not that I was unable 2 create an account before, but whenever I headed 2 make one I always thought what am I going to type here … nor I am fond of writing nor I am a ‘potential’ journalist … but having said that ..i always felt that I should blog.may b having a blog does not always has2 mean that your a journalist... or one related to a similar field :-)

May b bogging will just give me the opportunity to record my views on anything and everything that keeps happening around me.I would love to write about my daily observations, those little fun moments that keep happening or sometimes just scribble something when I am feeling bored …and moreover even say things that i don't get to.

Well I hope ill b regular at this and my urge for writing does not fade away… :-)
