Your Worst Nightmare!

I tried hard to write a sane review for 3i, but I couldn't come up with anything that the rest of the world hasn't already stated. Check IMDB and you will see a gazillion reviews. So I'm dropping that idea.

Instead, being a Nutrition major, I thought of doing a brief write-up on food. The kind of food you would want to throw away in trash. You probably know most of them. But I'm still listing the Good-to-Know facts. Here's the list, check it out -

1. Cheeseburger 

 Quite self-explanatory if you consider the two pieces of white bread, all that cheese, fried and fatty red meat, mayonnaise, salt. This little sucker could give you upto a 1000 calories. Not to mention, a shit load of Saturated fat*. Imagine that! You may wanna think twice before you jump on a cheeseburger the next time.






2. French Fries

The staple food of all Fast-Food junkies. Yumm. Who can resist those starchy potatoes deep fried in oil, right? Trust me, if you cant resist them, the least you might wanna do is control eating them. They are your worst enemy. Fried in saturated oil, these fries increase your bad cholesterol and puts you at a high risk for developing heart diseases. And ofcourse, it makes you real fat!

3. Starbucks Venti

The largest size of a Starbucks coffee, with 2% milk and whipped cream is more than 'just a cup of coffee'. It is recipe for disaster, with 15 grams of Saturated fat* and 500 calories! The next time you hit Starbucks for coffee - try reducing the cup size and take the whipped cream out of your coffee. Will do you good!

4.  Pop Secret Kettle Corn

Eat an entire bag of this and you will have consumed 18 grams of Trans fat**, in other words- artery clogging junk. And ofcourse, all the calories and sodium this pack claims to offer are of no good. Instead, try Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theatre Popcorn. It comes with no Trans fat** and way lesser cals.

5. Baskin Robbins (Large) Chocolate Oreo Shake

15 minutes is all it takes to sip down this drink, which promises 2600 calories, 135g of fat and 263g of sugars! Twenty-six-hundred-calories. 600 more than what an average person requires in an entire day and 3 days worth of Saturated fat*. I dont see why this drink isn't banned already. If I were you, no matter how skinny or not, I would stay a mile away from this catastrophe.

6. Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream  

Yet another disaster, which increases your Saturated fat*, bad cholesterol, unnecessary calories and what not. It also helps clog your artery walls and definitely not something you want to carelessly throw down your stomach.

*Saturated fat - The bad kind of fat and typically solid at room temp, eating foods rich in Saturated fats increases the level of cholesterol in the blood - which in turn, raises your chances of developing heart diseases. It is not recommended to eat more than 16 grams of Saturated fat per day.

**Trans fat - Also called 'partially hydrogenated oils', this is your worst enemy and a total nightmare for your body. Raises your bad cholesterol, helps develop Type 2 Diabetes, several heart diseases and Stroke. Not recommended to eat more than 2 grams of Trans fat per day.

The First Step

So this is my very first Blog. Obviously, I don't even know what to write about but I'll scribble something anyway!

The last few days have been pretty much crazy and cold for the "normal" standards of Houston. A bright and beautiful morning starts out at being -1 degrees Celsius! And the temperature only gets worse as the day progresses.

I hate winter. Period. All that it does, is compels you to stay indoors all the time and makes you watch the same movie for the 3rd time in a week! Not very cool, if you ask me. But then again, there's nothing else you can do, specially when you're barely working and on a break from college.

I tried cooking some Fried Rice and Noodles today. They turned out pretty clumsy, actually. Everyone at home claimed them both to be "pretty good". But who were they kidding? I caught the look on their faces. Every single face clearly said 'next time this girl tries to cook anything at all, please notify me ahead of time so I can make alternate arrangements'. Lol. I dont know the first thing when it comes to cooking! Rather, I just dont care.

But then again, I'm not one of those predictable girls you see out there! I hate cooking, not a big fan of make-up, dont give a shit about fancy shoes or clothes, cant stand Britney Spears, loathe people who are plastic and I dont understand why people cant be straight forward all the time!

Is it really THAT difficult? To be straight forward?

I think it should be the easiest way of life! If you like something, you like it. If you dont like something, you dont like it. How easy is that? Why pretend and eventually repent? I dont understand the concept behind it. Its definitely beyond me.

Anyway, I was reading the news from Australia, a while ago. Okay. Yes. Maybe I'm jobless, but so what? :p

The news is ridiculous! Another young Indian was set ablaze by some Australian guys! Similarly, last week a Punjabi dude was stabbed to death in Melbourne. This is freaking insane!!

Why are Indians being robbed of their lives in that country? Or any country, for that matter? I've heard of identical cases in other countries too.

So... what? People dont like Indians? Bull crap. Maybe they're being racist?

Or maybe they feel threatened by Indians, in employment and other fields. Possible, since a lot of Indians are more educated and qualified. And I must add, the ability of Indians to survive in Alien lands under any given circumstances is pretty incredible and invincible!

Whatever might be the reason, I still dont understand why Indians must die without a reason. It seems improper and unpleasing.

There's so much absurdity in this world. So annoying.

I hope they work out their issues asap!

Fingers crossed.
