Summer sojourn


Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language.
 -Henry James

Nachikaet is well and truly “into his summer holidays” and is making the most out of his available ‘resources’ in terms of

Finances   -being fully loaded after an extremely rewarding vishu kainettam* spree and buying well, more Ben 10 aliens (sigh I have given up on that one)

 Manpower- getting his grandparents, aunt and uncle to do their bits to make his life comfortable.

 Free time- getting the above mentioned manpower to threaten, cajole or bribe his mother to let him watch TV/play videogames.

Intangible resources- Using his good will, (the length his stake holders are willing to go for him) and his brand power (his adoring little brother and grandparents for whom he is the chief super hero in residence)

With the expertise of a corporate honcho, he can be found holding power snacking sessions( power lunches are passé) with the other stake holders (his brother and grand father) on how to configure their resources to over come challenging environments ( his parents)

What strikes me most is his almost obsessive desire to make the most out of each day. To savor each moment and enjoy it, like there is no tomorrow.  To have no no particular agenda for the day other than to live, laugh and be happy.

So I plan to do my bit too this summer because as Robert Brault said,  in the happiest of our childhood memories, our parents were happy too

  9. It appears likely that at 213 pounds, he was carrying some unwanted fat.

    Which can be why the director wanted him to drop weight.

    He then cut to one hundred ninety lbs. So he didn't achieve all that muscle without attaining body fat. It seems like he lost 23 lbs of body fat to star in Batman. So fat accounts for a part of his remarkable excess weight achieve. The fact that he was beginning out from near starvation levels is another explanation. And i would not be surprised if steroids have been utilised. Nevertheless, his build in Batman appears very good, not roid-monkeyish whatsoever.

  10. Very good advice, to which I like to add: Eating raw
    vegetables keeps your teeth clean. It prevents buildup from plaque.
    Don't consume bread, it has almost no nutritional value and is the main cause for plaque (only starch and cellulose, the nutrients are mainly inside the wheatgerm, which is removed through the wheat kernel and processed separately)

  14. The #1 concern is not acquiring her on a diet plan, or setting it up like a weight loss scenario.
    .. That is simply because, if she does drop excess weight, individuals tend to
    think, Ok, I misplaced fat, I am done... With
    somebody who's 14 years of age, it really is all about a Lifestyle Change... Clearly she has a body type that will not process excess fat as rapid as her peers do... So you require to change her consuming routines from three big meals along with a snack to six or seven modest foods per day... This can speed up her metabolic process and get her to burn up calories considerably quicker. The 6 or 7 smaller foods must be rich in nutrition and have very small body fat material...And if she enjoys carbohydrate food items, pasta, bread, and so on... these must be eaten through the morning and working day and never right after 4pm. Also with her consuming habits, she must not be allowed to eat anything at all accept water, perhaps sugar free jello soon after 6pm, every working day...
    Then add excersize... Walking, Jogging, Playing with her friends, etc... The concept is usually to get her to be mobile...If her parents can afford a decent treadmill, she need to use that, or just run, or jog, for any minimum 22 minutes at a time 3-4 times a 7 days... If she follows this program, the pounds will literally drop off of her, and most importantly she will possess a different look on the best way to consume, and grow to be more healthy...
