September is here!

September 2009 is here and so it has been 2 weeks of my last semester (hopefully!). Had a wonderful long weekend. I have started going to gym. It has been 5 times in past 6 days. This is my third attempt in the past 5 months to be regular.

Going to gym is like getting a new job after college. In college, you get money from parents, you spend it as and when you feel like. But the moment you start working and start getting pay checks, as it is commonly said "aate daal ka bhav maloom chal jaata hai". Everytime you go to a market, every time you go to movie theater, to a restaurant, you always ask for prices first. You become careful. Its the ditto case in gymming. After going to gym, everything you eat, every grocery you buy, you always look back and see how much calories it contain. You look online to find meanings of trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and what not.

You know the value, the pain it will take to burn that. You ask questions like : Is one maggi worth 20 mins of treadmill? Can you survive without eating that chocolate muffin. Pizza is out of the question, milk is bought fat-free, white bread turns wheat bread, and everything in life changes.

But then again, there are people like me, who neither cared before, neither care now (Liar, Liar!!:). Anyways, lets see how long this relationship lasts.

And to conclude, here is a statistical joke shared by Hasan. If you do not get it, you just don't get it.

Three statisticians go for deer hunting. They see a deer and the first one takes aim. The bullet goes 5 meters left of the deer. The second one takes aim and the bullet goes 5 meters right of the deer. What does the third guy say?


We nailed it.


I had a hearty laugh at this.
