found a good site for health tips. this article on body fat percentage is interesting, i didn't know there such a big difference in acceptable body fat levels for men and women http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm

my goal is to get close to 10% from 16%

what a relaxing weekend...

made turkey kheema, dal and chicken sheesh kabab today... the food's tasting really awesome... going to watch Don tonight!

Don, don, don, don, donnnn (music plays)!!!!! Even if I like the movie, I am not going to ever admit to liking a shahrukh movie... helllz no, the guy's a pain!

so, my friend Luca asks me in his inimitable Italian accent, "so, mahendraaaa, you goingg to walk around that firrre in your weddinngggaaa"

in keeping with my way of thinking less about the wedding and more about the marriage, a thought crossed my mind... the fire at the wedding is fine, what abt having to deal with my firey to be wife everyday? circumstances are going to make me a pyrotechnician!

slacking is not something i scorn, in fact, I aspire to it...

if someday i get famous, someone with a remote in hand, and a bread crumbs all over his shirt, groggy and unkempt will quote me proudly...

hawaii it is...

let the planning begin - here's some quick info and nice pics - http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/destinations/north-america/usa/hawaii/

chicago treasure hunt.... tentatively scheduled for saturday jan 7, 2007

now this is a really cool way of breaking someone in to chi-town.... rain, snow or shine, we will plow our way through and discover some of the city gems... from navy pier, to the drake, to wrigleyville - everything's fair game...

oh i'm so excited to send someone down some blind alleys :)

no edge + vanilla + "maha aalshi" = potatoe

Rule #1 -- Only one of us can be upset at any given time.

so, someone told me today, that i am not edgy at all... i tried to define what edgy really means in my own terms... but then my geekiness got the better of me, and i had to refer to the dictionary to find out what it really means... well, as usual dictionaries are only so useful... but i guess going by meaning #3 (below), i have to admit that i am definitely not outwardly unconvetional and bold and provacative... so, no tight ironed suits, or piercings, or a ruthless clipped diction... nah, none of that... but i have an edge, if others don't get it, they don't get it... wot to do... :)

Main Entry: edgy
Pronunciation: 'e-jE
1 : having an edge : SHARP
2 a : being on edge : TENSE, IRRITABLE b : characterized by tension
3 : having a bold, provocative, or unconventional quality

babe, i am going to be on the b'more case... working 50% from my office, 50% on the road...

Fav Chicago restaurants

• Santorini - Typical Greek fare... good house wines, and flambe is exciting... good kababs
• Ba.ba.reeba - Best tapas in Chi-town... get tun on their sangrilla... and don't expect the best seat in the house, this place is always crowded
• Reza - Good middle eastern kababs, their rice is awesome...
• Hema Kitchen - Hands down best North Indian place in Chicago... a little on the spicier side... BYOB
• Sushi Samba - Decent sushi, good drinks, and place to be seen at
  
• Penang - Indonesian/Malay/Thai cuisnies - the roti kanai never fails to impress, the rendang is the closest thing to a goan style curry you will find...
  
• 
  

have a safe trip babe... relax and enjoy! :)

i am going miss my babe over the next 10 days... she's goin to be in b'lore cleansing his head, heart, soul, colon and god knows what... i love her so much...
