Occasionally or frequently consuming food that i believe is not suitable for me is discarded. Yes it's MY choice.

Personally, I am against reservation based on caste system, but when we look deeply into the reason why Patel's have suddenly flared up against government, demanding a reservation for them, the reasons are many. First and foremost, it is the way all governments, be it congress or BJP or whichever else, has been treating people. First it was the Gujjars and Jats of Rajasthan and Haryana, now it is Patels from Gujarat and very soon, time is not far away when Marathas and Leva Patils from Maharashtra would soon join into the foray. Until now, a lot of favoritism has been going on, in spite of reservation, deserving candidates even from the reserved categories do not get jobs, it is only those hwo power of money, can get a proper job. I was talking to a friend yesterday who happens to belong to the same Kadwa Patel community from Kutch, Gujarat and when I asked her, she said that for years now the Patels have been financing all the major campaigns and operations and helped bring many governments to power while they get nothing in return. She said even a minorest offence such as breaking a traffic signal costs them nothing less than 500 rupees which to others are no more than 100-200. The name Patel means money bank for others. So if we think about it, it is not anarchy we are seeing but unfairness in dealing with valuable community members. Government needs to handle this affair rather delicately and with tact.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion for which I have great respect. How can food that is eaten in improper quantities be blamed for obesity. That way sugar should be banned as it is cause of many ills. My central issue is that no food consumed by millions should be condemned because of misuse by its consumers leading to health problems. Occassionally eating such foods is not at all harmful. It is a welcome change from the daily foods we normally eat. But you are a tough person and are refusing to do so. As usual the choice is yours.

Before Facebook came into the picture there used a social site called Mypage started by apple which was 'The platform' for all those who wanted to socialise. I am sure they never expected a competition like that of Facebok, so one never can say ! Tomorrow something even more sophisticated and attractive site might happen...

One needs to understand why the Patels of Gujarat have launched the agitation demanding reservations. Gujarat is a manufacturing driven economy where service sector has been neglected. Huge tracts of Patel owned agricultural lands have been transferred to industrialists. This has resulted in large number of Patel youth come into the job market. With no skills they are not able to get jobs and the few they feel they can get are denied due to reservations. Patels were instrumental in bringing BJP to power all these years in Gujarat. Now they want their pound of flesh as they feel that they are not getting any benefit for this continued support. And reservation is an issue they have chosen. Significantly around forty percent Patels are well to do and as a community they can sustain long battles if necessary. Are they anarchists in demanding reservation? I would say no because in a democracy there is give and take of support and reward. Should they be given reservation will depend on their ability to agitate. too early to predict. For me however there should be reservation of upto 10 or 15% max only for SC& T and physically handicapped and ex army jawans. This anarchist agitation may lead to a wider dialog about relevancy of reservations.

The most effective way of limiting your intake is by drinking water 15-20 minutes before each meal..It cuts down your intake automatically by 15% which in itself helps you lose weight, that added with exercise, mainly walking is very helpful in keeping you fit!
Yes mam, this is the good advice. I do sometimes use this technique, specially when something favorite of mine is cooked in my hostel, so that i don't eat much.
Ronark, I forgot to add this earlier but it is wonderful that you have managed to lose 25 kgs in a year and are you planning to lose more weight or stay steady with your present weight ?

The tolerant is highly intolerant of the intolerant. The intolerant in turn is intolerant of the tolerant. So both are driving the same boat but from different ends.

Exactly. Then you should also not condemn so called junk food when you have not tried it and felt its repercussions and is an unknown path for you. You should also accept the views of others.

Exactly. A practice is introduced because the respective governments permit such ways. You cannot imagine this to happen in India. Because the Government says a firm NO to such ways
