The Ghost of Past



The past revisited her today. The winds of which blew hard on her face leaving her fall apart. Kimaya felt speechless for a while. She did not know how to react after witnessing the latest development taking place in the life of someone who she liked to the core. ‘Like’ was just a word that she overtly used to justify her relationship to others for she knew deep down her it was much more beyond that. She hadn’t felt like that ever before and she also knew that she would never experience the same in the days ahead.  For a moment all the memories gushed back to her mind making her feel completely numb. The late night phone calls, the time spent in coffee shop and every other moment of intimacy surfaced to her mind. She had forgotten everything and burnt inside her the tiny possible feeling that she once had for him.  She had left her past way behind but it encountered her today. She wanted to run away but failed to escape…

Cakes and Weights


The two words mentioned in the title of my post share a very intimate relationship with each other. If I’d to explain it in technical jargon, I would say weight is directly proportionate to cake. That is, the consumption of cake brings a directly proportional change (at times twice as great) on to the weight. 

The reason I’m boiling down to this conclusion and which I strongly believe is quite close to being true is the apparent change in weight that I’m noticing in myself these days.  Please note, I have friends galore in office that hold the same perception and have witnessed similar deformities (though in initial stage) taking place in their bodies. So, this could not be called a figment of my imagination but validates the fact given above.  Some are worried about their recent bulge that has developed on their once flat bellies. While others are upset with the notion of been unable able to fit into their well fitted jeans.  To sum it all up, everyone surrounding me is vexed and considers Gaurav’s cake the major culprit to our agony and concern. Every time we have someone’s birthday in our office we, without thinking twice (and without even asking the birthday candidate’s choice), order the sumptuous chocolate cake. And the intake of this cake is pretty high in quantity and in number. For instance, we have not been half way through the month and we’ve already had the cake thrice. And there’re yet many more birthdays to go in July. However, if it is not a birthday then it automatically paves way for a farewell, an engagement or a marriage celebration. So in any case, its consumption becomes inevitable. Besides the cake that is topping the charts of making us put on weight, there are few other accomplices in crime. Their names are as follows:

1.      Fast Trax Rock Burgers
2.      Fast Trax  Veggie Burgers
3.      Pan Pizzas from dominos’
4.      Chinese from Shanhansha
5.      Shawarma from Albaik, NFC
6.      Other miscellaneous eatables from Nathus. 

And not to forget the American Cheese & Onion (lays) and the three BIG bottles of Cold drinks that always become a part of the feast by default. Their significant contribution to the same cannot be overlooked either.
Hence, the after effects of the aforementioned products and their continual consumption can bring a disheartening change in our shapes. So let me extend the title of this post as “Cakes, Weights & Shapes”.

Kindly suggest some fat free solutions to our problem ;)
