Life of New Generation
One incident made me to think so much about the life of this generation which provoked me to write this blog. Exactly what is happening with our generation? Let it be life, family, marriage, friendship? Let me talk about the incident which I cited earlier.
One of my friends was very sad that she dint have a proper job to enjoy like others. She was very much tensed. After few days she landed with a very good job and decent salary. Then I called her thinking that she might be happy. She was not happy instead she was complaining that she is alone and she needs someone to be with her.
After few days her parents found her a decent guy and she got married. Again I called her thinking that she might be happy at least now. You know what. She is not happy because she needs more money so that she can lead a prestigious life. This call made me to think of the reasons for the unhappiness of my friend.
Now-a-days it is not just my friend. So many people are suffering due to lack of satisfaction. Our elders lived very happily and were able to provide decent life to their kids. When I think of my parents, they worked very hard to provide us better education, food etc. But then we were happy enjoying with family and everything else.
With all this internet revolution, computer boom life became very easy but most of the youngsters are not happy. What is the reason of increased depression patients, divorce etc etc. After all these I felt just earning money does not make us happy. It is something else that keeps us happy which is nothing but contentment.
I know that human being was able to reach the moon only because of the desire/need he had. Without the desire we wouldn’t have achieved such a wonderful technology. But did this desire stop us from being happy. I guess it is yes since it has crossed the limits of our capacity. Due to this everyone is losing their control and unable to enjoy their time with anything they have. This leads to disastrous effects on this generation and also on our nation.
So everyone please realize where you are and try to be happy with contentment and try to enjoy the time you have in your hands. By realizing this sooner, we can pass to our latest generations to keep the human values alive. Otherwise we will land up in such a trouble where no one can help us.

Why can’t we regrow our body parts?
Another fantastic TED talk. Alan Russell studies regenerative medicine — a breakthrough way of thinking about disease and injury by helping the body to rebuild itself. He shows how engineered tissue that “speaks the body’s language” has helped a man regrow his lost fingertip, how stem cells by qualcomm purevoice software, similar to. can rebuild damaged heart muscle, and how cell therapy can regenerate the skin of burned soldiers. This new, low-impact medicine comes just in time, Russell says — our aging population, with its steeply rising medical bills, will otherwise (and soon) cause a crisis in health care systems around the world. Some graphic medical imagery.

How I lost 30 pounds in 3 months?
Three months back my weight was 205 pounds (93 kgs), I am 6 feet tall so my BMI was 27.8 which is midway between overweight and obesity. For a healthy person BMI should be between 18.5 and 25, 25 to 30 is over weight and above 30 is obese. I decided to loose weight and become healthy again. For this I did lot research on weight gain/loss, and was on rigorous diet and workout for 3 months and lost 30 pounds, with this by BMI came down to 23.7. In this post I will share my experience with you.
Normal person burns 10 calories per pound per day, that means a person weighing 200 pounds will burn 2000 calories per day. If one can maintain one’s calorie intake below that mark they will start loosing weight. The norm is that for 3500 calorie deficit you will loose one pound. So if you want to loose 2 pounds per week, the deficit should be 7000 calories per week, which is quite easy. The problem is that most people don’t realize how high their calorie intake is. I used to take rice and curry for both lunch and dinner, with rice and curry I can not count my calories so I decided not to eat rice and curry till I achieve my desired weight. Below was my menu for the past 3 months.
