Be Indian,Buy Indian!!

I just got a forwarded mail and I thought I'll share it with you!!

Dear Friends,

GOOD MORNING AND GOOD DAY TO YOU
When you smile, not only do you feel happy, but you also bring a ray of light into the lives of others"

U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.

Please spare a couple of minutes here... for the sake of India ... our country.
I got this article from one of my friend, but it's true, I can see this from day to day life,

Small example, Before 5 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 36
After 5 months. Now it is 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 50

Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our Economy is in u'r hands
INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.

More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages...... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.

We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years.

With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.
What you can do about it?

1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.

Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.
This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.
All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.

WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.
THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING.
MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALISATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME IT IS RECOLONISATION OF INDIA ......
THE COLONIST'S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO LET A" GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS" SLIP AWAY.
PLEASE REMEMBER: POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE .

FINALLY: IT'S OBVIOUS THAT U CAN'T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE,
SO GIVE UP ATLEAST ONE ITEM TO FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY.

Weight loss Challenge-Intro

All over I hear people talking about being overweight and going on a diet.Sometime back,I wouldn't even pay heed to such talks,but now I sit up and take notice.

I was always on the plumper side during childhood.My weight never bothered me coz I never found any fault with being the way I was.Reality struck only when I finished my 10th and was about to join college.I was starting to feel bad hearing the comments,fatty-chubby-plumpy etc.See,I said I never felt fat,but people around made me feel so.I made up my mind to lose weight,if not for myself at least for the nasty commentators.And surprisingly,I did.Became slim and trim by the time I joined college.How,you may ask.Well,anyone can lose weight if you go on a crash diet and completely stop eating.Yup,I did that.Barely ate food,sometimes 1 banana and a cup of milk a day was all what I ate.

My mom was so concerned about my health.She would rather let me be fat that see me with any ailments.But I was not going to look back and continued with the careless eating pattern.

Slowly I started coming back to normalcy.By that time I had lost much of my baby-fat(euphemism,I know) and was feeling quite confident and raring to go.That phase continued for a while even though I had started eating normal food.And then Jaundice happened..which took further few more of my kgs..I had become mere 48 kgs and I was so so happy about it..;-).

I got married-let me tell you,that was a major catalyst on my weight coming back to me.As my hubby says,a girl can't be bothered about her weight after she gets married.Initially I fought with him saying it isn't true but lateron my weight pile-up made me silent.

I put on 12 kgs in a matter of less than 6 years.I was upset when it crossed 50 but did absolutely nothing about it.When it reached 55,I stopped checking my weight.When I was required to check at doctor's and when I saw the figure 60,I felt embarassed and ashamed.I was asked to lose all of the excess weight,I doubted whether I'll be able to do it.But some situations in life forces you to do things which you wouldn't have done otherwise and this was definitely one of them.

I met Shiny-Dietician & Nutritionist,Maverick Fitness Studio and she changed my life.
