Moving On...

So here comes the end of yet another year, 2014. Time is flying like some super fast express train. Just few couple of months back, it was feeling like we were welcoming 2014 and here we are already giving adieu. There were several memorable & historical moments in the history of India and World like BJP winning with full majority(Modi effect) and mysteriously Malaysia flight getting missed away. Apart from these public affairs, my personal & professional life also had some major important events like me staying independently in rented house and experiencing life of living all alone with complete freedom and professionally changing my domain to Wifi. I would say, luckily this year had not been bad for me. 2014 went smooth as butter with little bit of glitches here and there.

Whenever a new year arrives, everyone will be busy making New Year Resolutions. Personally, I do not make them and to answer the big "why" let me take you to the gentle ride into my past. Like almost every other human being on this planet, I also use to make few New Year Resolutions. Not anything fancy ones, but the usual normal routine ones like I will start writing my daily dairy, will sleep early & wake up early, will eat less, go regularly to gym etc etc, you get the hang. But our mind, body, day-to-day activities are so much rooted into us that, its not possible at all to just start following them overnight. When new year comes, I use to make these kind of resolutions and fail to maintain them after January 3rd or 4th. Its so irritating, loosing my self confidence thinking I cannot keep my own words.

As year by year passed, making resolutions and failing at them miserably every time made me hate them. Then i realized, there is no point in making these so called, new year resolutions. They won't last. How can they ? We are still lugging our same old brain-body into New Year and that doesn't re calibrate miraculously over night just for the fact that all the 3 components of date (day, month, year) are getting changed at once calling it a new year. Its not at all practical and sane. Trust me, the people who truly want to make a change do it regardless of date, time or even place.

So coming 2015 year, I do not have any new year resolutions and I am happy about it. Just let it proceed as it is. If I would like to make a change in my routine or any change in myself, I would do that irrespective of date. With that saying, lets take a moment to say good bye to the year 2014 and lets move on to year 2015. Moving on...

Self Defense

During last week of November, USA celebrates ThanksGiving. Recently, I heard about an incident that happened on ThanksGiving night. It was told by one of my relative, who works as HR in one of the company in Manyata Tech Park & its about a guy who works in that company. After closely hearing to the incident, it made me THINK what would I have done if I were in that Person’s place?

I don’t exactly know that person’s name, so let’s call him “Rahul” (naam toh suna hi hoga). Rahul works in a night shift for a reputed MNC in Manyata Tech Park, near Hebbal. He is a northi guy (doesn’t know Kannada) & stays nearby Whitefeild. On ThanksGiving night, USA clients were on vacation & Rahul’s work was finished early. So he thought of leaving office by 1:30AM (early morning). He somehow caught a cab & got lift till Marathahalli Bridge. From there, casually, he again took another cab to go till his place at this late night. 

Rahul sat inside the cab which already had 2 fellow passengers along with driver. After travelling for few minutes, the guy sitting next to him, took out a knife & hold it against his stomach & ordered to give everything he has! Rahul was shocked & scared. He didn’t knew what to do. Btw, even the driver & other fellow were involved in this violence. They took his iPhone mobile & asked to empty his pockets. There were so many cards, debit, credit, Reliance, ID card, Max card etc. They asked pin number for each of the cards. Since it was last week of Novemeber, still salary was not credited & he didn’t had much money in ATM. He tried & struggled to convince them the same in hindi which they were not following completely. He was ready to give how much ever he had so that they leave him after that. I mean, what else can he do? What else any one can do but then they told, if he doesn't have anything else to give (other than iPhone), then lets go to Shivajinagar. He asked why, to which they told - we have our guy there, who takes out eyes, Kidneys etc & sell it off! I mean, what the hell is this! What kind of violence or torture is this?

After hearing this, I started to imagine, what would I have done, if I were in his place! The first thought, which came to my mind is, as soon as he takes off knife at my stomach, suddenly grab it out from his hand & stab him at his heart! He never expects, that other person would do that & is possible that he might be holding it in a loose grip. In case, if he was holding it tight, stab him by taking his own hand holding knife (as he cannot expect anything of that sort might happen & his hands might be free). Just stab, aiming right at his heart. He’ll be dead in few seconds! Quickly stab the other fellow sitting next to driver. Then driver will be scared like HELL. Just take out the knife & hold it to the neck of driver. Order him to stop vehicle nearby. Injure driver & run away (Or) call police explaining your self-defense!

Once I get these above rushes of thoughts into my head, I was shocked to know by myself that, how much violent have I become! I mean, killing the person sitting right next to me. Stabbing in heart etc. I started to think, where did I learn all these? After analyzing, I got to know the answers.

Dexter tries to kill Zach (not tries, he KILLS) in the climax of series with just a ball pen! Arya Stark, a teen age girl, learns that, stabbing the sword at right place where a man’s heart is, can take his life quickly. These all thoughts came to me from the TV series which I watch so much & I am addicted to. If I were, earlier Bollywood mind-set Prasanna, then below mentioned lines might be the first set of thoughts coming in my mind, if I were in Rahul’s position.

I would ask him to calm down & I’m ready to give everything I have. I would be ready to give even the stuffs or extra money which he hasn't asked and never knew I had. Then I would try to talk them into it, like why are you people doing such illegal stuffs. Then I would expect them to open up & tell all their problems. I understand them & gives them extra more money & share my contact number & tell them to stop doing such things & call me in future if any help is needed! I get out of the car safely & happily. HaHaHa, Hilarious isn’t it? ;)

Let’s come back to Rahul’s story now. Since they threatened to take out his Kidneys etc, & they weren't joking. They were really serious about it. He gave what all money he had. After that, do you think, they left him in nice shape? NO. They hit him hard on the head & threw him outside the moving car & went away. Poor Rahul was slightly unconscious & couldn't note down the vehicle number also. He was bleeding & was hospitalized. He had lots of stitches to his head with 2+ weeks of bed rest. This week, he might be joining back to office.

I was so shocked to hear this incident, which happened, just 3 kms away from the place where I stay. What I want to conclude & say is we need to be prepared for self-defensing ourselves in these days. I am not asking to be as violent as trying to kill them or as innocent as trying to convert them into some good guys but you need to be prepared for your own self-defense.

I know that, it’s easy to talk about but when we are actually in that position, our mind gets blocked & cannot think out of box. We need to practice to think out of box in such times. That’s how self-defense creates awareness about our options in such crucial times. We always need to be prepared to get out, GOD FORBID, if we ever get into one of such situation.

At last, but not least, I would like to thank my hobby/addiction of watching lots of English TV series which makes me think of something out of box. If I were, earlier me, Bollywood mind-set Prasanna then God knows, what would have happened to him if in case he got stuck up in that cab instead of Rahul :)

Decade of Transformation

Exactly 10 years back from today, on Gandhi Jayanthi, the second of October 2004, I started transforming myself. With this year 2014, it becomes a decade. I was studying first PUC in KCD College, Dharwad in 2004 and today I’m in Bangalore, working in big reputed software MNC with handful of money. How time flies by!

During early days of my school, my mother use to sit & teach me. Later on, I was educationally adopted by my guru "Doddwad"(which will be covered in a separate blog). I use to go to his house for studying and he use to teach me. Things like what to study, how much to study, when to study, everything was very well planned to me by my guru. All I had to do is, just follow them.

After I finished my schooling & started with college, around 10 years back, my house was very small (just a hall & a kitchen) and hence no privacy or separate room to study. Earlier I use to study in my guru’s home under his supervision, but after I joined college, he disappeared. I didn't had any separate place to study. Also not to mention, the level of study grows exponentially from school to college. Better to have a separate room.

My mother understood the necessity & without any hesitation went to our kind-of neighbor, who had a godown(room) underneath their house. I don’t know what she talked with them but they generously offered me to study in that big godown(room) as anyway they weren't using it at free of cost. I am so thankful to them. The day on which they handed over me the keys of that godown(room) was on October 2, 2004.

To recall, on that day, it was holiday as Gandhi Jayanthi & I was super excited. I cleaned up a bit and shifted all my big-big fat books of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics to my new room. I also performed small pooja (pray) before entering into this room on this very same day (a decade back).

From October 2, on wards, I started on my own independently. I formulated my own dreams, defined my own rules, started with my own dedication & focused on my own goals. Nobody to tell me, what to study, how much to study, when to study, I defined everything on my own with some desired & expected outcome. In other words, I started transforming myself into a new self-made Prasanna (unknowing whether I’ll succeed or not)

I had that room until my first semester of engineering (almost 2 years). During this time, if I have lived for 100% then 85% of the time, I have spent in that room studying, analyzing, talking to myself, making mistakes, screaming, learning on my own, dreaming about future, making plans etc. So much of wonderful time spent over there for 2 years. To briefly describe about my room, it was way too big (almost equivalent to a 30x40 site) & I use to sit at one corner of such big room with my study table with all those charts of trigonometry, formulas, periodic table etc on the wall in front of me. The flooring was full of red-oxide (red color). Even if I scream, nobody could hear me. I really enjoyed every moment spent in that room.

I still remember, I use to spend time & study so much in that room that even after my second PUC exams were finished (including CET exam) & I had nothing to study till I get my results & choose engineering, I use to miss the room very much, so much that I simply use to go and sit over there for hours. I don’t know what I use to do, but I was so happily ready to even sit idle & spend hours in that room.

I had never told about this room of mine to anyone. Hardly some 2 or 3 people have entered in my room & that too either once or hardly twice. The environment, fragrance & the warmth in that room was full of me & only ME.  It feels like a part of my soul use to live there (& it might still does, probably!)

There are few best things that have happened in my life & getting this room to rediscover myself is one among them. If I think back on how I was, a decade back, it amuses me. That Prasanna was so naive & innocent. He had dreams & todo lists. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can meet him & if I compare him with current Prasanna, I suppose innocent Prasanna is very happy as he fulfilled most of his dreams in a decade and all this was possible because of this room. So from Oct 2, 2004 to Oct 2, 2014 its been a decade of transformation! #JustSaying ;)

Facebook World

I joined, the most hyped social network, Facebook, almost after I passed out from my engineering in 2009. Before that, I was on Orkut. Since Orkut was losing its fame with the rise of Facebook & every single person I knew was migrating from Orkut to Facebook, I too followed the herd. I tried using Facebook for few months & got to know the fakeness it carries and deleted my account in about just 6 months.

I am that kind of a person, who dwells in social presence online but I choose to quit Facebook.  Most of my friends, relatives, collgeues often ask about my reason of quitting Facebook & I somehow always try to skip answering the question. To be honest, I too don’t know the exact reason. I just felt something is not right and Facebook is making me sick but no idea, how.

Even to this day, I’m totally unclear of “exact” reasons of quitting/disliking the Facebook as my thoughts are still absurd and haven’t taken proper form to give an exact answer but I thought, let’s give a try and point out few “findings” which I keep thinking in my head about “The Facebook” and its virtual world.

According to me, in the Facebook world that we live in, friends are available as ‘requests’ and friendships are often ‘confirmed’. I feel, louder the drum beating and attention seeking symptoms on Facebook, higher the helplessness of the individual. In the Facebook world, it’s all about messaging, the ping, the poke and the post and forget whatever happened to so called, face-to-face communication. I feel, Facebook is a dangerous place when not navigated wisely. It is easy to get brain-washed. It is all about technology & virtual presence where there is no empathy or warmth to be found. Without the real life’s awkward pauses and often embarrassing face-to-face interactions, the Facebook virtual world creates a bubble of unreal perfection. Once an individual spends enough time over here and later when posed with real life challenges like pain, loss, heart break, insecurity & anger, minds of Facebook user will be ill-equipped to deal with it. All I want to say over here is, in a Facebook world, the line between reality and fiction gets blurred. It is easy for individual to mix up virtual world with real one.

At last what I want to say is, I am not totally against social networking or Facebook in general but I am afraid and certainly don’t believe in Facebook the way it is used by all of us. After all, the idea of Facebook is that, people are more interested in knowing what happens in others life than theirs!

My Second Trip

My second trip was only for a single day to Madhugiri betta on Independence day. Details and photos will be updated soon.

Why You Should Tell Your Parents You Love Them Every Day

Until, I write/update this blog about my first trip, temporarily I am updating an article. This is not written by me, but I can so much relate to this one and i hope many of you will relate it to yourself too. I have just copy pasted the article from the below link :-

http://elitedaily.com/life/parents-deserve-credit-given/675744/

I remember the years as a little kid when I absolutely adored my parents. I wanted them to come on all of my field trips, to be around my friends and to talk to them all the time. They were my heroes, and I looked up to them so much.

As I moved into middle school and high school, there was a piece of me that was changing and I wanted to be more independent. I didn’t want them to chaperone dances or go to a bunch of events anymore; I wanted to show I could do it on my own.

Over time, we would argue over and over again because they just didn’t understand me. They wouldn’t allow me to wear certain clothing items or to let me participate in the activities all my friends were able to do, and these conversations always led to me screaming, “I hate you,” or others words I wish I never said.

As I got older and headed to college, I was ready to be even more independent from my parents. I remember during my sophomore year, I headed off to alternative spring break and I met so many homeless people who just wanted to provide for their children or had lost their jobs or homes.

It wasn’t until then that I started to appreciate what my parents did for me. Not only did they provide a roof over my head and food every night, they helped me succeed to meet my dreams.

Looking back, because of the way that I was raised, I definitely took for granted everything my parents did for me. We’ve all been there; we always think we have the worst parents in the world, but do we really? Just because they wouldn’t let you go that party, date that asshole or wanted you to be the best you could be?

I could give you a list of the things my parents wouldn’t let me do. I never understood why they were so strict, but if I am being honest, that list of things they wouldn’t let me do saved me from a lot of jail time, regrets and trash in my life I didn’t need.

Once I remember my dad telling me that the guy I was “in love” with just wasn’t for me. I remember screaming at him that he was wrong only to have my heart broken a year later and realize how much that was not the relationship for me. That is just one example of many times I should have valued my parents’ opinion.

So, take a step back and look at what your parents have done for you. I know I made my own choices, but a lot of credit goes to my parents for helping me through struggles and for teaching me that no matter what choices I make, they will always love me.

That’s a love that will never change. Sometimes I think about what type of parent I will be when I have kids. I always say I won’t let them get away with half the stuff I did, but then again I realize as much as I thought my parents were strict, I did get to enjoy my childhood and I am growing up to be the person I wanted to be. Parents help teach us the type of parents we want to be one day.

I took my parents for granted for a very long time and still to this day. Just remember your parents can be taken from you at any time, so let them know how much you appreciate and love them. They need the love just as much as we do.

Hobby v/s Additction

According to me, there is a thin line of difference between the two words, hobby & addiction. I hope everyone knows the meaning of hobby and addiction. The dictionary meanings of both the words are as mentioned below:-

Hobby: - an activity which is done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.

Addiction: - the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity

These might be the actual definitions, but I understood and realized them in my own way and have my own way of defining and identifying them. Let me explain my own analogy of differentiating whether a particular task is a hobby or an addiction!

If you read all previous blogs, or if you know me well, then no need to justify about me being crazy about movies/films & TV series or sitcoms. So whenever I thought about these activities, I use to tell proudly to myself and everyone that watching movies, TV series are my hobbies.

But few months before, one day, somebody told me to reduce watching movies as they pointed out that I watch too many films and it is an addiction & not a hobby. They even justified by asking me a question – “Can you stay without watching any film for a week?” and my answer was straight NO. I can’t live without watching films for a week. I was totally confused now. Am I really addicted to films/sitcoms or is it really my hobby? How to identify & differentiate?

That just one interaction between that ‘somebody’ made me think a lot. Based on the dictionary definition of these two words, I was lost to know myself whether, I must stop/reduce watching films from now on as it’s my addiction (or) let me be as I was earlier watching loads of films/sitcoms continuing considering it as my hobby. How do I come to a conclusion?

Finally, I figured out my own way of identifying whether an activity is a hobby or an addiction. According to me, the thin line of differentiation lies within us (each individual). The way we look at the activity, makes the whole difference. If an activity is very much interesting & you are passionate about it and you won’t regret spending time doing it then whatever it is, don’t consider it as an addiction. If you are able to enjoy doing it without affecting anything else, then its clear sign of a hobby.

On the other hand, if you are doing an activity which you later regret after doing it, then clearly it is sign of an addiction. I suggest to get rid of it. Addictions are like that only. While doing it, it will be fun & you enjoy doing it but later yourself will regret about it or it will be affecting your day-to-day life or activities or health or something (otherwise you won’t regret).

So based on these rules of mine, I clearly came to a conclusion that, I enjoy watching films/sitcoms and when I’m done watching, I won’t regret about it. I’m not watching so many films that it is affecting me in any way. So I am going to clearly put it into hobby zone.

Similarly, somebody also use to tell me that, I’m addicted to twitter or basically to my mobile phone as I always look at it & will be busy with it. Yes, I’m addicted according to them (who look at me from that angle) but according to me, I’m not addicted because I won’t regret using it later, instead, I enjoy. I take out time to do it. So as I said, it’s all in your realization whether an activity is a hobby or an addiction.

Coming to addiction part, few people smoke, drink but later they regret telling that, I mustn't do it anymore. I must stop it but then again, they are driven towards such activity. That is a clear sign of addiction. You might think, smoke & drink are anyway addiction, why to mention obvious. But consider other examples like, somebody might consider reading novel as an addiction because they regret later telling, I won't study/read for exams but instead i spend time reading novels. Who can think, such obvious "reading" novel activity can also be addiction? 

Few watch TV too much. I won’t say, its addiction, but later if you regret yourself that, I watched too much of TV today ruining my studies then its sign of addiction. On the other hand, if you watch TV (may be for long time) but don’t have any regrets and you continue your work as it is without affecting anything then I tell you to not consider it as an addiction (even if people say so).

On the closing note, I just want to re-iterate that there is a very thin line differentiating hobby and addiction & it lies within yourself & how you realize or take it. Activity might be hobby or addiction, both will be very much fun & enjoyable while doing but the differentiation part comes afterwards, based on your thinking whether you regret it or not.

Financial Scale

It’s been nearing to 5 years since I moved to Bangalore and imagine how many films I might have watched in theatre/multiplex during this long period. Yes, you are right. Its hundreds together, yet you may not believe that among these several hundreds of films that I have watched in past 5 years, hardly only around 25 films I might have watched on weekend!

The reason is very simple. During weekends, the film price is too high compared to weekdays & I’m not ready to spend that much for a film. This has become like my mentality. Film might be long awaited & big release but still I prefer to skip watching it over weekend as I do not want to pay that extra ‘x’ bucks on weekend as the same film can be watched at lesser price on weekday.

On the other hand, strangely, on weekends, I would be spending more than ‘x’ bucks (some 2x or 3x) doing something else, for something which might be unnecessary and that is "okay" for me, but I won't pay extra just ‘x’ bucks to watch a film on weekend! That has become my mindset over the years.

When I was hiring my maid for household activities, few months back, I was trying to bar gain her salary. I still remember that I was bothered about paying some small amount ‘x’ extra which otherwise, I would have usually spent without my knowledge. Similarly there are other such scenarios, where I bother for the same amount of ‘x’ while spending on something but not much bothered spending the same ‘x’ amount on some other thing.

What I want to convey over here is, everyone will have their own scale for financial matters. Someone A is “okay” to spend amount 'P' on contributing for birthday party while other person B find excuses not to spend but B might be ready to spend the same amount 'P' somewhere else where A would have found excuse not to spend.

We all have such kind of mindset about spending money on particular things. This kind of mindset would have been developed within us over the years. I term this mindset, as financial scale. Each one of us will have our own financial scale. Few are ready to eat outside, while others say, why to waste money on outside eatables when we can go home & eat. Few others are like, why to waste money on watching films in theatre while it will be aired on TV in few months. I have even seen people (in Dharwad), who are ready to walk couple of bus stops just to save some money as ticket price will be less from that bus stop.

What I’m trying to conclude over here is that, when we meet new people or when we come to know about “known” peoples financial mindsets, don’t be judgmental. For example, when you have been to a restaurant with friend & he isn’t ready to give proper tips doesn't mean, he is “kanjus” or miser. It is his financial scale for paying Tips which may not be similar to yours. He might be ready to spend money on travelling to home in auto while you would tell, why to travel in auto while bus is cheap & convenient . This is your financial scale on travelling which may not match with his.

So finally, the conclusion is very simple. Just realize that each and every individual will have their own financial scale which may not be similar to yours. Don’t be judgmental about them based on their financial expenditures. That's not fair!

Known Strangers

Until my VII standard, my mother was my educational guru. Around IX standard, I got adopted (with respect to my education) by my new Guru named Doddwad. He is turning point in my life. There is so much to tell about my guru & I will definitely dedicate another blog just for him. But now, I’ll just re-iterate his rule no. 1 which was “Never make any friends during this age of time (teen age). They spoil your time and will side track you wrt studies. Ignore them & concentrate/ focus on studies”

He disappeared during my PUC first year but I, as an ideal student, continued with his rules till I entered engineering. I have friends from school and from engineering but shockingly no friends during PU! Even in engineering I was bit very strict & resistant in getting close to anyone (mind was programmed like that and it was hard to get out of rules which was followed for almost 4 years)

There is a saying in Kannada, “hutt guna, sathru hogodilla” means, the character of a person when he born, will remain forever! So usually, when you get some close friends by understanding there so called, born character (which never changes), you are almost like BFF. It’s hard to know the person’s born character but once you know them over a time, they are no more strangers to you. You will know them very well and they’ll know you very well.

But soon after, we undergo several social status updates, personal updates, location updates, getting into conflicts etc with various reasons we stop talking with them or we fight and destroy relation or something or the other will make us stop being friends or stop talking with each other. Once this happens, they are like “strangers” to us. To be more specific, what I call them as “Known Strangers”!

As I said, the born character remains forever, no matter where they go, what they do, how they are & since you know these people very well, it’s easy to understand them without even being friends with them anymore. It is like, you know them very well, but you won’t talk with each other, exactly behaving like strangers.

These are special kind of people in my life, whom I know well but don’t talk. I name them as “Known strangers”. As I said, I never had very close friends during PUC or Engineering but after that, during my professional life & before that, in my school life, I had few close friends with whom I never talk now but I know them very well. These are my known strangers! I still haven’t figured out, how to deal with them.

I am sure, not only me, we all will have some of these known strangers in our life. Just sit back and think, their names will pop up in your head. Probably, you might get more names than me, coz luckily I didn’t had any friends during my PUC education ;) 

When having a group discussion with others, few known strangers names pop up in conversation & it’s difficult on how to react or when we see them crossing road or across street, it’s difficult, what to do? Wave a HI or give a smile or just ignore? As I said, it is very difficult to deal with them but don’t worry, according to me, these are special people in our life and I suggest that we should cherish them. What do you say?:)

Celebrate Hungriness

Food is very essential part of every living being. Each individual must have 'limited' amount of food everyday to survive. To eat/have food, prerequisite & mandatory thing is to be hungry. Without hungry you cannot eat anything! Like how you have 7 days in a week or 24 hours in a day, there is certain quantity 'x' for which you can get hungry in a lifetime! According to me, becoming hungry is like 'time'.  Once time is passed, you never get that time back. Similarly, once you are hungry & you eat something thus ending your hungriness then your count x will be reduced by 1. You can never have back that hungriness at any cost later! You cannot control the hungry count, everyday you "MUST" become hungry and you "MUST" vanish that hungriness by eating something thus reducing your total hungry count day-by-day. What i mean, by you 'cannot' control is, daily your hungry count will reduce irrespective of whether you eat or not! If you eat, you survive else die! SIMPLE :)

Now, there are several wide range & variety of food through which you can vanish/reduce your hungry count by 1! The key part in-between your food and your stomach is 'your tongue'! It plays a very important role. Tongue identifies the 'taste' of your intake food. There are several pleasures which a human can have with several of his organs and one among them is tastiness which is enjoyed using "tongue". If you witness and get addict to this pleasure, its amazingly enjoyable. BTW, i'm already addicted!

In Brahmins, we have a ritual where when somebody dies, their soul will be wandering & we must 'satisfy' somehow to make it to become liberal. The way we use to do this is by inviting 2 actual brahmins and satisfy them completely which inturn will satisfy the wandering soul! We have to give them something which they need & must enjoy having it so much that they should be genuinely satisfied! We cannot force them to say that they were satisfied. It must come out of them naturally, then only soul can become liberal!

Actual brahmis are also human beings. As a virtue of human being, they never say 'enough' for anything. Whatever and how much ever is given to a human, he never says, "I'm satisfied". The only thing for which he could say it is for 'food'. So we invite him for lunch with tasty-tasty food and serve him so much that he enjoys eating & himself will say, i'm done! I can't eat anymore. In other words, I'm SATISFIED! 

The similar concept is utilized in restaurants too. Hence you can observe, the unlimited concept of giving something for fixed price is only in restaurants! Do you know anywhere else in world, where you get something unlimited for fixed price, other than food? No chance!

So what I'm trying to tell over here is eating is great pleasure and this pleasure is limited by count 'x'. Also the amount of food intake for 1 hungry count is also fixed. In this stressful, complicated & money-ruling real world, its very hard to find honest pleasure. By eating tasty food, you can get amazing pleasure, if you realize! I'm just saying don't miss out eating tasty food when you are hungry and enjoy that pleasure. I feel pity for those who doesn't notice this pleasure (& also count getting decremented). They just eat 'some' thing and waste a hungry count! Remember, you don't get back that hungry count later even when you have world's tasty food in-front of you! You need to reduce one more hungry count to taste that world's tasty food!

Finally the conclusion is, spend your hungry count efficiently by eating tasty food. Next time when you get hungry, i say CELEBRATE Hungriness because you got a chance to eat tasty-tasty, yummy-yummy food thus reducing hungry count with pleasure instead of ignoring/un-noticing it by eating 'some thing' and wasting one of your precious hungry count!

The importance of hungry count can be witnessed when you talk to some old people, where they can't eat as they use to eat food earlier. The capacity to eat tasty food (thus getting amazing pleasure) decreases with age too! So beaware & i just restate that next time when you get hungry, CELEBRATE! :)
