Have you seen any fat plants (cacti don't count since they live in the desert and all things that live there are terrorists)? All of them are slim like those anorexic models on Parisian runways. And they don't even diet and eat tissue for dinner. Their life is awesome. The NYT should urge its readers to try giving up exercise and kitchen cleaning and just ask them to sit under the sun to loose weight. PS: 'R' turned into 'my husband'? How come? Tell me something.

It's not me, right? I'm doing all I can ;) <strong>Sandeep:</strong> That sounds typical :D Instead of asking you to throw the cigarette pack! We even follow the same philosophy with medicine - target the symptoms, not the cause. <strong>neha:</strong> I'm game, if I can find one! ;) Funnily enough, though a lot of people here hardly cook (the microwave is used more often than the stove), the kitchens have to have every type of appliance. <strong>km:</strong> What, you have a plan to convert me into a yogi? Now I am not even allowed to drink water? :P <strong>Candadai Tirumalai:</strong> That's true, and I guess it is a sign of our hyphenated identities and experiences.

It is a path I am comfortable with for myself.
