Impact of job change

January 13, 2007TimepassJoseph Jude

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said:
“Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”.

The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver – I’ve been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years….”

Easy way to loose weight

January 13, 2007TimepassJoseph Jude

One fat guy – goes to a popular GYM in Bangalore sees an ad for a new gym guaranteeing to reduce anyone’s weight by 5, 10 or 20 kilograms on the first day. So he goes and tells them he wants to lose 5 kg. They lead him into a huge gym with all kinds of ropes and parallel bars and ladders and tell him to wait a minute.

He’s standing there when on the far side of the gym a door opens and Out steps a beautiful girl, with a sign saying “If you catch me, I’m yours.”

He starts running, and just as he gets close, she starts picking up speed.Before he knows it, he’s running all over the gym, up the ladders, down the ladders, across the parallel bars, here and there. And just as he’s about to catch the blonde, pop, she disappears through a door. In comes the management who lead him to the showers, and then weigh him. Sure enough, he lost exactly 5 kg.

He’s back on the street and starts to think. “Jesus, I was so close to catching her. If I had a little more time…” So he races back to the gym and says, “I want to lose 20 more kg.”

“No problem,” says the manager.

Again he is led to the large gym. This time he’s standing by the doorwhen it opens.

Out comes a Gorilla with a sign.
“If I catch you, you’re mine.”

It is foggy here

I heard and read that it is exceptionally warm in Belgium and other western countries. But here it is the other way round. It is exceptionally cold here. Every morning it is so foggy here. This is a shot in-front of my house today morning.

Week 6 Progress

January 13, 2007Life is like thatJoseph Jude

Week 6 Progress This week was a struggle. None of the days I was enthusiastic about jogging. I dragged myself out of bed and got me on the treadmill. But once I was on, it went smooth. But I finish the week good. I am close to 7 kms/hr burning 400 cals and 20 + 20 push-ups.

I’m eating too much

Just last week I mentioned that one needs to have an effective weight-loss regime in that one shouldn’t starve rather enjoy the regime by having controlled food consumption.

I didn’t fast this week but it was too much of feasting. Every day I ate out – New Year treats, some one leaving, bachelor party and so on and on. Even twice we went to bar. I’ve been eating too much this week.

I should’ve been on the dance floor

January 9, 2007Life is like thatJoseph Jude

My mom keeps saying that when I was a boy, I used to dance for the song – Appanae, Appanae from Annai Oru Alayam. I don’t remember that but I was always interested in dancing. I never got a chance until I met someone who was willing to teach me dancing despite me being a complete stupid. She tried teaching me formal dancing but I never went beyond some level.

After I returned to India, I was always interested in learning dancing formally. But I never got an opportunity. Over this weekend, I went to ITPL and found a place where they teach dancing. It is for three months of basics – 2 days a week, one hour a day. I was all thrilled. I dreamt of my long pending dream coming true. Also one my New Year resolution will be accomplished as quickly as March.

Wait a minute. There is always an anti-climax! Something happened today and I had to cancel joining the dance class. You want to know what it is. Right? Ok, guess what it is. I will tell you in a week’s time.

An unfortunate end of day

January 8, 2007Life is like thatJoseph Jude

Just got a call from the security guard in the parking area to inform me that one Tata Sumo has hit the right indicator of my car. I went to see it and pretty disappointed. Not just the indicator is broken but there are some dents as well.

After I came to Bangalore, I drove very carefully not to get into any accidents or even have any dents. I took care of the car so much and am attached to it (in fact when I returned from CBE, the first thing I did was to wash the car and to take a drive). For more than a year, I’ve driven without any accident or any dent. But now this.

I don

Am I galy?

Yesterday evening I was upset. And then I became depressed. Normally if I am depressed, I listen to music or read books or go for a drive. I did something else yesterday.

I went shopping. Yes dear, you read it right. I was on a shopping spree. Any other day I would

Week 5 progress

I am satisfied and glad at the progress. This week I maintained 60 min of treadmill burning at least 350 cal a day; and reaching 400 for the last three days. I always knew,

What I miss…

January 4, 2007Lensual Expressions, Life is like thatJoseph Jude

One thing that I definitely miss being in Belgium is dressing formal. I somehow felt pretty confident in that.

Spoiler: I used a chart-sheet for background. I should get a black sheet. Also I need a reflector to get a good shot. But it is difficult to operate the camera, light and reflector! For both photos, I used the Auto-Correct option in Picture Mgr software. For one I used Old Photo effect in Gimp.

If you like any of these images, let me know.
