Dear Mr. Raghy,
You wife is a petite and not a XXL like me! :)
I will add bitter gourd and methi as part of my daily food and try to go easy on tablets.
White is :nono: in rice/sugar/ salt/wheat flour etc. brown is beautiful in rice.
I am trying to eat as sensible a diet as possible.
Cheers without Beers!!! :)

Sowbagyavathy VR, Greetings.

When did you see my wife to say she is petite? She gained 6 Kgs in weight and constantly blaming me for that. I am sure you are sensible in your diet. Bitter gourd is very good. I was told it actually helps the pancreas to repair itself when it is in that repairable condition.

Your note about beer reminded me of this...... ( off topic)...

not working.webp

Cheers!

Dear RR ji,

I am laughing reading this.

My mum has very bad osteoarthritis of her knee joints.
She also never used to go for walks etc always saying she has no time etc.

Before her joints became bad I even bought for her a low impact exercise bike but she never even touched it.My mum can be very very stubborn.

One fine day (I don't know if you believe me)..Sathya Sai Baba came in my dream and told me to make sure my mother does her exercises or she won't be able to even walk in the future.

Then after saying this Baba looked at me and kept silent for a moment and said this "But your mother won't listen to anyone even if God comes and tells her she will not listen!"

Believe me RR ji..my mum never listened to me at all to do exercise and Baba was right about her being stubborn.

Sowbagyavathy Raji Ram, Greetings.

It only proves I am in trouble. I bought some hot mixture, well a large pocket of 1 kg. This DIL of ours made Bangalore style mixture with onion etc ( I only ate very little of that). It became popular and these girls ate them and put on weight. As usual, blame me for that. I am given 91 days for her to loose weight! 10 days are already gone!

You are welcome to visit anytime. Alternatively, when I come to Velacheri next time, may drop in!

Cheers!
 
Good one Dear Mr. Raghy! :)

It is customary to leave notes on the fridge so that people won't miss the notes.

obviously their relationship was not working and the girl friend went back to her mom!

I won't blame her for leaving this budhdhu who can't even figure out what she is talking about!

I think Shri Anna Hazare and Shri Ramdev are real followers of this thread. More often they go on fast (fully deriving the benefits of fasting).

How can she give you 90 days to make her lose weight ???:confused:

That is the girl power! I have to do something for her to loose weight! You are a girl; I am sure you would have given some dead lines to Mr. Ramani, haven't you? LOL!

Cheers!

WOW! Then I do not have girl-power or whatever! :pout:

I am the one given the dead lines by everyone and never the other way round! :nono:
 
I agree with what Shri N_M mentioned in his post 8. It is a pity that some family doctors are not accepting that he has not updated his knowledge. Some times they diagnose a simple fever with the dengue or malaria (if it prevails in that area). One thing I do not understand is that we observe fasting to satisfy the god or to satisfy our mind. Is any god compel us to observe fasting? In mumbai I have observed that people who say they do fasting are consuming puva (aval) upma or javvarisi upma during lunch time and they say it is exempted. Whether taking juice is prhibited during fasting? I do agree that observing fasting is good for health.
 
My diabetic mom is still observes fast on Kirthigai days.

She as well my elder sister take only paasip paruppuk kanji

a mere two or three glasses during the whole day.

My mom is nearing 90 and my sister is nearing 70. :clap2:

Sowbagyavathy Raji Ram, Greetings.

I know I have not invited as many persons as I wished to for our son's wedding. I am sorry about that. I really missed that oonjal song. I am sorry.

I know you live in KK Nagar. I followed that thread 'Meeting in person'. I also know Velacheri is about 30 minutes away from KK nagar even in traffic. ( I used to cover from 'Kathipara' to KK nagar in less than 10 minutes on a bi-cycle in the 80s... )

Cheers!

Cool, Sir! Once again welcome!

May be, even now you can bi-cycle in 10 minutes, if you fast for a few days!!

PS: We moved to Sing. Chennai in 82. :)

Don't think I have to fast for few days though. Even now I can do it, provided I warmed up my muscles before I start.. I weigh about 80 Kgs for my 6 feet frame. I know, about 5 Kgs less would be much more nicer. But I am not obese. ( If I have to do that in cycle now, I may have to do it at about 4 AM, should start after the flyover confusing roads!).

Cheers!
