Hi All,

In this post and following comments, I would keep sharing on Calories - What Is, Why Have, How To Have and When To Have information from the Internet.

Just got back from gym. Some hours ago, I had shared on my FB https://www.facebook.com/slateandchalk.net and Google+ https://plus.google.com/114752368140246871853 a video PEOPLE ARE AWESOME 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6XUVjK9W4o in which a monk child was jumping…

Yesterday evening, the person who opens/closes the gym told me that I lift the most weight there. I told him that I'm a small guy and that there are so many much bigger people and also great bodybuilders and that I wish that I can keep improving lifelong. Then I searched for videos on Kashmir given the highly unfortunate current issue. Besides other videos, I also watched Defending the LoC Part-1…

Dear All, I do think that both sweets and medicines have their values. However, are we having an unhealthy quantity and quality of sweets leading us to having more type of and expensive medicines? Today after gym, I went to a supermarket store in the same mall, however, it had closed because it was after 10 pm. There's a market next to the mall. I walked on the main road next to the market looking for a shop to be selling a kind of very healthy cereals. I walked till the end of the market…

I've been coughing off and on for some years which upon checkups from two quality doctors seems to be due to I being allergic to something in air (I think high pollution because I never coughed like this during college years in USA and before that in Delhi). I reside in Delhi region which has a very high amount of pollution. I wonder if it's Ravan making us burn the harmful firecrackers? In my FB wall post yesterday, I've shared the link of another of my Health and Fitness India network's…

I've been meditating a bit for a decade and half now. However, I've been searching for a nice Yoga school to also improve myself in it. Recently, I thought that I had found one by visiting its web-site. I went to its class in a nearby top hospital where it's conducted, however, their evening timing was incorrect since I found out there that classes are only held during mornings. I thought that this was general administration's fault which seems to be with several things in India and not of…
