Bulimia is a particular eating disorder where the victim indulges in excessive eating and purging. They indulge in foods that are fattening and high in calories; even if they are not hungry. This is followed by the feeling of guilt accompanied by attempting to remove the food from their body through methods such as vomiting.

Bulimia nervosa is different from anorexic nervosa in one aspect. Bulimics indulge in food while anorexic do the opposite. Bulimics and Anorexics mostly display similar symptoms.

In America itself, the number of bulimics would fall within the range of 2%-6%. Percentage wise, this may seem to be a small number. However, if you translate that to the actual amount, it can add up to quite a big number.

I was browsing through the “Mind your body” insert in today’s Straits times when I came across this ad on Glaucoma.  It mentioned about the public talks and eye screening timings at various eye clinics islanwide, Singapore. Curious, as I wear glasses myself,  I did a little research on it.

And if you are residing in Singapore, don’t forget to attend should you be curious as well.

If you’re still holding on to some hurt feelings or leftover issues from your past, today is the day that you need to move past them. They are clouding your thinking and causing you to think things about someone in your life right now that simply aren’t true. Are you judging someone based on the actions of someone else? This person’s role in your life is potentially very important, so you need to spend time with them today and give them the chance to show you who they really are.

This is the first time I am seeing something that is every bit true. Usually I get crappy forecasts; eaning they don’t seem to make any connection anywhere in my life. Neither do they even seem to unfold… Haha… Now don’t start contemplating that I do this all the time. Today is 29th Feb! and yea, Occassionally I do glance through after the day is over to see if anything did happen as stated… But today, it just stole the words of my inner heart… hmm… Astrolgy forecasts do hit the bulls eye once in a blue moon

I found a very cute article while I was googling “Pampers.” It’s quite informative but it tickles you with the way it is written. I found it informative; yes but is there a necessity to feel this paranoid travelling to India with an infant?

I went to India when Saniyah was 2.5 months old. She did have fever and cold which did not stop till she came back. Once she was back in Singapore, she was perfectly well . Well, it does pay to be handy and careful. Have a good read and if you plan to visit India with your child, or any other country for that matter, do check with your relatives what the weather is like first

It can be quite a boring affair when your child is asleep, your mother is praying, your sis is trying out new recipes and your dad is out at work while better half is abroad. In such situations, where I have none to talk to, I normally turn to my “silent” companion, “Television.”

However, today, that would have to wait. I need to at least browse through the copy of “India Today – Women,” which I took from my flight lst Jan. The cover is still intact. Well, I can be lazy, meaning, very very lazy (cheeky smile ).

Cover story was about Mrs Archana Tyagi Sharma. What an interesting read. After Kiran Bedi,            this is one other police woman who caught my attention. Great track record and what is most heartwarming is the attitude of this lady. Reminded me of the Vijayashanti movies of the past .

You can read the same issue, online version here: http://indiatoday.digitaltoday.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&issueid=39&id=3382&§ionid=20&secid=18

It got me so interested that I came online instantly to do a little lookup on Mumbai Police. To my mazement, I found 2 stories, which are quite disturbing actually.

Jodha Akbar controversy was one side where there was a small explosion in one of the cinema hall screening it on the release date and how prompt the police were to come into action. You can read more on it here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Blast_in_theatre_showing_Jodhaa/articleshow/2799242.cms .  While, on the same page was a link to another story “Goons hang Jhansi youth in public.” http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Goons_hang_Jhansi_youth_in_public/articleshow/2803121.cms .

Just look at the situations and the reactions of the police. I am utterly ashamed and deeply saddened that my initial pride has turned into somewhat a fantasy. Prompt actions were taken in the former situation compared to the latter! It could be the different modus operandi of the diff states. Still! Indian police force need to have some sort of “ekta.”  

One blacksheep spoils the name of the rest in the herd; however, in this case, I’d say there is still some hope of finding the light in the deep dark tunnel. Despite 90% (my own census ) of the police community being corrupt (strictly my opinion), officers like Tyagi still exist. It’s better to have an attitiude than follow the crowd!

You seem to be losing it no matter how hard you try. You feeling dizzy. You lose your temper at almost anything thatcomes your way! at a stranger while you wait for the lift or with the life itself or the person who made the lift or the person made so many floors in the building…
