Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s surgery successful!!!

As I saw before my eyes on the Friday evening edition of news on AAj Tak!!,

I froze. I was just informed(thanks to the rather eloquent presenter) that the Prime Minister hon’ Doc.manmohan singh has just been admitted to aims for a double redo bypass surgery. As i faintly remembered , he had already undergone Angioplasty once in 2003 but I guess the blockages must have resurfaced.

Whilst the TV presenter said in their cliched manner(which reminded me of the most recent news reports on the mumbai terror blasts) I wondered about the severe blow that this had dealt to the Congress’ hope of campaigning with the Prime Minister at their forefront . It also made me seriously wonder Manmohan Singhs’s health and fitness to be able to sustain another 5 year term at the Parliament House…………doesn’t it make you wonder.

The timing though was impeccable and by impeccable I mean completely peaccable (if such a word exists). What with the country at a poetntial war with PAkistan and also under an apparent terror seige the last thing we needed was India’s most accomplished diplomat (thanks to N-Deal) in the ICU instead at the frontlines trying to strengthen diplomatic relations b/w the two countries.

So the question is raised -will Manmohan Singh be able to sustain another term at the helm of the world’s largetst democracy???Probably yes because the surgery has succeeded (hurrah!!!!!).

But one can still not overlook the fact that the impact of this incident on the minds of the voters could be inevitable and the littleteam of trustworthy,hardcore Congress voters could be completely abrogated.

The scales now seem to tip fairly well in the favour of BJP for the upcoming election.Cinsider

Vegetärin oder isst du Fleisch?(vegetarian V/S non-vegetarian)

For what seems like eons now, debate has ensued which form of nutrition is better _ being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian ……….

This is an ever continuing debate . In India , although the demographic is changing, there are still people equal number of people in both camps . There are people who swaer by vegetarianism and it’s benefits and people who can’t seem to live without our usual chicken,salami,fried chicken,chicken curryetc.etc(my mouths already watering)So is the science behind the stuff you eat and after reading this post you decide which is better vegetarianism or being a flesh eater.

Vegetarians(Counter Terrorists):-

Now leet’s get this straight.there are three kinds of vegetarians namely:-

Vegans or strict vegetarians exclude all animal products (e.g. meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, and other dairy products). Many vegans also do not eat honey.

Lactovegetarians exclude meat, poultry, fish, and eggs but include dairy products.

Lacto-ovovegetarians exclude meat, poultry, and fish but include dairy products and eggs. Most vegetarians in the US are lacto-ovovegetarians.
If you are vegetarian , congractulations!!!You are at less risk of

• Heart disease
  
• Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers
  
• Diabetes
  
• Obesity
  
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Chronic diseases
  

But even every golden cloud has a black lining in this case border. Being a vegetarian you probably lack:-

• Protein
• Calcium
• Vitamin D
• Iron
• Vitamin B-12

If you are an athlete and a vegetarian or planning to become one(especially a vegan)reconsider your decision,you might have more energy as compared to your flesh eating counterparts but less stamina and strength + they dont eat only flash……so they might not be so much affected by the difference in trophic levels.

A vegetarian meal can provide all the essential nutrients needed for good health and is also likely to be higher in fibre and phytochemicals (both are found in plant foods and important for good health). A vegetarian meal can also be lower in fat if properly planned.

Non-Vegetarian(Terrorists):-

youll have more:-

• Protein
• Calcium
• Vitamin D
• Iron
• Vitamin B-12
• Zinc(incidentally it’s good for prostate health-yeah ! for that)

But your atbmore risk of;-

• Obesity
• Heart disease
• Chronic disease
• And your life span may be shorter bu up to 5-15 years.

The Perfect Diet for a perfect and long life:-

I am both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian.Basically i am an omnivore, I take my daily portion of vegetables and fruits at home and get its benefits but simultaneously I eat non-vegetarian dishes at school which balances out my deficiency in Vitamin B Complex (although sometimes especially when i am ill I take a pill of Vitamin B complex).

Major debt on your credit card?Here is the perfect solution!

Well in these dire times of financial crisis , it only seemed appropriate that my first *REAL* post be about how to manage your credit card debt i  2009. “Credit Card Debt” has become the doomsday word for many Americans . well here’s a complete credit card bill pay-off scheme thanks to the courtesy of Dr.Suze Orman who recently came on Oprah . So if you missed the show or forgot to jot it down here is the complete plan.

Play Your Cards Right

Thanks to recent congressional pressure, some credit card issuers have become a little more consumer-friendly. Citigroup, the world’s largest card company, has quit using “universal default,” which permitted it to raise users’ interest rates even if they slipped up on payments to other creditors. Chase has decided to stop using “two-cycle billing,” a practice that enabled the company to charge interest even for periods in which cardholders didn’t carry a balance. But don’t think for a minute that creditors have become altruistic. They can still make plenty of money off your account if you aren’t paying attention. Here’s how a little effort can help:Request a lower interest rate. If you’ve been a reliable client with a solid credit profile, there’s no reason to settle for a card with a rate of 15 percent or more. Call customer service and be polite but firm: “Given my strong credit history and the fact that I pay my bills on time, I think the interest rate on my card should be reduced to 8 percent. If you can’t do that, I intend to take my business to a lower-rate card and cancel this account.” (You can shop for a better deal at Bankrate.com, but don’t actually cancel the card. It’s best to get the balance down to zero by transferring it to a new card or paying it off. Then don’t use the card again.)

Pay on time. According to a study by the Government Accountability Office, 35 percent of cardholders paid at least one late fee in 2005 and the average cost was $34, compared with $13 a decade earlier. This is too expensive a slipup to make. Even if you can’t cover the bill in full, send in the minimum payment by the due date.

Eliminate your highest-rate balance first. To deal with multiple credit card balances, always pay the minimum due on each, and add more than the minimum onto the one with the highest interest rate. Concentrate on getting rid of the debt on that card, then move on to the card with the next highest interest rate, and so on, until you’re in the clear.

Follow these 3 golden steps and you’ll be out of credit debt i no time!
