The Axis of Junk Food!

          Eat healthy, Cut down on the Sugar, stay away from Junk food. This is pretty much what i see on my Facebook feeds and also on every other news sites "Health" columns. Ofcourse, whenever i read them, i think to myself "I resolve to eat healthy from this moment onwards". Suddenly, "Dude, Coffee?" my colleague says. Being a man of strong resolve, i of course, agree. I take 3 shots of "Espresso" and add on some milk. It tastes horribly bitter. I lump in the sweet awesome white sugar and it tastes perfect! There goes my "eating healthy" resolution!

         That was a rant. What i wanted to say was how easily we give in to our temptations related to Food specially Junk Food. With the advent of "Food Delivery" services in Bangalore (and india), it has become easier to binge on the Fried, Oily, Potatoy, Tastes-awesome-but-kills-you kind of food. I realized this when i saw an Ad on TV by Faasos. It turns out, there is a store "very close" to my place and it takes about 15mins for them to deliver their tasty hot Wraps. After hogging on their food and waiting for the "guilt" to get over, i mapped out all the "Fast Food" places around me. I realized i am swarmed and surrounded by it! No wonder its easy to give in to the temptation!

          See the infographic which maps out how close the centers of Evils are!



Arise!


The Lyrics and the Music. Awesome!

aayiram sooriyan suttaalum (Thousand Suns might explode at once)
karunaiyin varmam karainthalum ( Mercy may cease to exist)
vaan varai adharmam aandalum ( The evil might become very powerful)
manithan anbai maranthaalum ( A human may forget the emotion of love)
valiyaal un uyir theinthaalum ( Pain would eat you slowly)
un kaadhal azhiyaadhey ( But your love will never leave you)!

Ok, Edited to add this - not the music, the picturization of the song is top notch. And, yes, Parvathy's look in the song - gorgeous is an understatement!

Here's a video of her in a Malayalam movie called "Charlie". Good song.

The Upside down revolution is here

        You know what i hate the most apart from getting up from bed in the mornings? Holding my
phone upside down. Yes, i hate it so much that i want to throw the phone to the
wall. Imagine this, you wake up and you are already pissed that you have to getup AND go to work. You pick up your phone and everything is UPSIDE DOWN!!! You can't read a thing, your emails are all gibberish, your texts don't make any sense. You get a call and the contact is displayed upside down. Goddammit! You hate your life, you curse GOD and you might not even want to continue living.

        Sure, you can turn the phone around and get back to being normal. But why would i do that? I have paid "money" to buy the phone, the money i have earned by selling my soul to the devil. Why can't the damn phone, for which i have to pay, handle such a simple thing? Phone Bro, you are designed to be a "BAR"! It doesn't matter which side is up (or down), you should work both ways and make sense. But you don't and i hate you.

       Ok, Why am i ranting about upside down phones? Because, the answer is here. Somebody with a angel in their heart has thought of this issue and has designed for this exact problem. Ladies and gentlemen of the pissed off world, i present to you THE BEST "ALSO WORKS UPSIDE DOWN" smart phone in the world - Panasonic . I know its a Panasonic phone, but the phone is named weirdly like its written upside down. This is what i call Innovation. Take that Intuit. Not only it has the upside down feature, it also has speakers and microphones on both sides, both sides! 

Without wasting more time, i present to you - THE AD -
