Light dinner, desi style. 🙏🏼🫶🏽

If you feel like you are deviating from your diet because you want to eat roti sabzi, dal chawal, regular home cooked fare, then it’s like being in a marriage where you are made to feel like you are cheating because you are meeting your parents, cousins, friends. Toxic.

Eating right doesn’t mean not eating mithai, it means eating them without regrets. As a celebration and not desperation.

Every year my team takes off for a summer break. Because making a living and living a life are not mutually exclusive but quite the same thing.

One of the ideas in yoga for peace and quiet is to dress your mind, like you dress the thali/ food plate. Not too much at a time, enough time to chew on everything before the second helping. The mind and body can work quite well if we allow ourselves to be. 🫶🏽

Mangoes don’t cause diabetes just like marriages don’t cause divorces.

Food & fitness influencers bear zero responsibility for how viral posts affect small, local businesses.

Reducing food to single nutrients (sugar, saturated fat, etc) sounds v scientific but is speculative at best.

Junk food regulation & protection of small businesses is key.

Exercise is an investment in health and happiness that we cannot afford to ignore.

Dear girls,

Stepping out with a pimple is not an act of bravery or valour. And you don’t need “flawless” skin to lead a happy & fulfilling life. Don’t believe everything you see on trending reels.

Never ask a woman for her opinion if you don’t have the attention span to hear it.

Samajh ne waale ko ishara kaafi?

Aunty is used as a slur because many of us are offended when we see women above 40 thriving sexually, intellectually and socially. When all that we want out of them is to simply disappear and die.

What is the woman doing?

- making food
- making rotis
- atleast it’s millet roti
- even if it’s millets, it’s still carbs.

Your answer will tell you how bigda hua you are.

i think the true sign of success is that you think of yourself as some kind of subject expert and your family gives 2 hoots about what you think.

It takes decades for a tree to grow and seconds for it to get haphazardly chopped.
Beautification of a city is about protecting its green cover, so that citizens can get a breather when the heat wave strikes and birds, bees and butterflies can thrive.

The whole point of a diet is that it makes you -
- Happy, not hangry
- Hopeful, not stressful
- Healthy, not weak
- The weight loss is always a by product.

Most of us gain weight once we start working, but small things can help-

-eat breakfast before leaving home. Reduces cravings later in the day
-have nariyal pani/ sherbet on reaching office. Reduces the afternoon slump
-a wholesome snack between 4-6 pm. Ensures a light dinner

X is a place where so called health experts seem to revel in the illnesses of handles they don’t like or wish ill health upon people with views they disagree with. Much like the saas bahu serials of the 90s. Petty. But popular.
