Krithika caught you before I could. Forgive me for pointing this out but you have to be a Hardy in the first place to remain a Hardy di Jeyamma. As Krithika so eloquently said 'Dhrogi'.

If you did, did you throw up immediately or 10 minutes after you ate it? Come on, we must compare some notes here. Believe it or not, I have eaten Kashi cereal and I agree that I have tasted better dirt in my life. Sure, I can live a few extra years eating the healthy Quinoa and Kashi but seriously why would I want to?Meena Sankaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691594996452828769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-38844024706854079902011-02-07T12:12:20.147-08:002011-02-07T12:12:20.147-08:00"Lets be proud of being Hardys and also pray ..."Lets be proud of being Hardys and also pray that it doesnt affect our health in anyway.<br />"<br /><br />Amen to that Vidya. There is little point in worrying over things that are not in our control, is there? As long as you are all here to keep me company, I am quite contented to be a Hardy. After all, like you yourself said, how else can there be balance in this world? :-)Meena Sankaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691594996452828769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-29496816130840145102011-02-07T12:09:20.611-08:002011-02-07T12:09:20.611-08:00'thanks for lightening up the day'

I think all of us Hardys are secretly desperate to get our mitts on that magic eraser that will enable an hourglass shape :-) As a conspiracy buff, I think the thin world led by the health industry - is conspiring against us Hardys. I mean, have you tasted some of that expensive Kashi cereal at Trader Joes? I have eaten tastier dirt. Lets boycott the "health" industry and fill souls and taste buds with pleasurable food made of real ingredients. Lets be happy instead of hungry.Srilathanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-37318557342709142732010-12-07T07:49:42.659-08:002010-12-07T07:49:42.659-08:00Hi Meena

I was planning to write one on these lines - on futility of dieting or in the larger picture, the ability to lose weight. <br /><br />We have a tendency to attract and retain when it comes to weight. This year, I was fed up, and I thought let me not think of dieting, eat regularly and NOT exercise. How much can the weight go up? It turns out there is NO UPPER LIMIT. I weigh the heaviest in my life (you have no idea, if you are extrapolating what you had seen me of earlier :D)<br /><br />I use advanced philosophical stuff to ignore weight :) - Who said philosophy had limited applications? :) - Offer Pizza to Narayana and eat :)Sriram Venkateswaran Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276848242641111769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-34501435986850679912010-12-06T13:50:18.315-08:002010-12-06T13:50:18.315-08:00Hardy har har...
