Long Live the Potato!

The good old potato can breath a sigh of relief now. If the latest research is anything to go by, then the potbellied veggie can help weight loss if prepared in a healthy fashion. To ensure that the vegetable needs to show a bit of skin :-) I nearly went weak in the knees when I read that the people who were part of the research group were given 5 to 7 servings of the potatoes per week! Wow!

Now I am waiting for the day when the researchers will claim that a combo of dollops of chocolate ice-cream, innumerable chocolate chips and sizzling rich chocolate sauce can do wonders for weight loss :-) I will be in heaven!

Time for a forwarded शेर:

अर्झ किया है...

शायद किसी राहीको सायेकी जरुरत हो
इस वास्ते, ऐ यारो, हम धुपमे चलते है

Masterminds - Fox Crime

This is one serial I am increasingly getting hooked to. Yesterday night there were 8 episodes back-to-back. Of course, I could watch only 3 of them but they were very interesting. The first one was "Fool's Gold" - about a mining scandal that involved a Canadian mining company called Bre-X and a region in Indonesia called Busang. The second episode was "The Bandit Queen" - Judy Amar, who targeted homes of the wealthy folks residing at Florida's gated communities in the 90s. And the third one was about Carl Gugasian, The Friday Night Robber, who robbed the banks at the closing time on Fridays.

How I wish our desi channels would air such programs on interesting crime cases in India.

दिलके दर्दको जुबापे मत लाना
अपनी आंखोसे आसू मत बहाना
जख्म चाहे कितने भी गहरे हो
"डेटोल"के सिवा कुछ मत लगाना :-)

Iron deficient Politician

Have you seen the Kellogg's ad in which the lady is standing right in front of the mike in a wedding when she bad-mouths the groom's parents? Turns out her brain isn't functioning at its optimum best because of iron deficiency. Now you know which politician I am talking about, don't you? :-)
