WAIT before you ask someone their WEIGHT


This is the post which is for people who are more concerned in checking out opposite person’s body weight. I don’t know why I wanted to write this post but this is the one thing which bothers me to eternity and I would like to spread awareness and inject little bit of science behind this.
Let me tell you the person who is on the slimmer side (I don’t want to call them thin)  is not his or her choice. Everything cannot boil down to that one matter – EATING HABITS. 

1)      It is not ME , blame ME-TABOLISM

You know about that strange thing called Metabolism. It is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. In the people who are on the slimmer side, this process happens fast and it is very active. In this process, they burn their calories and tend to be as they are and not gain weight.

2)      My appetite is not tight

Whoever thinks that the person on the slimmer side doesn’t eat, please give it a thought. They eat enough. Instead their appetite is absolutely normal and functions par to the one who is on the healthier side. They never starve. While they eat in smaller proportions, they tend to munch something or the other between time intervals. Hence when you meet such person next time, don’t shout at them to have more or accuse them by saying that they do not have anything or adequate food. They do eat. May be more than what you eat in one single day.

3)      It is because of you ( ma and pa or any kith and kin )

Why doesn’t someone go back to science and learn something. We have learnt about genetics and how one trait is passed on to their offspring. This is called inheritance of traits which is linked to genes. If a person’s mother and father is not on the healthier side, how on earth the child can develop the super power and grow fat. Please for god’s sake spare a thought. Do not just follow the crowd and give your unwanted opinion when someone is already accusing someone for being on the slimmer side. It is absolutely not their fault.  Their physical pattern is tuned as per their parents or any of their kith and kin from the parent’s side.

4)       I Am 100% active and normal

This is the thing which irks me to the core. We are not super humans or almighty to be absolutely active and normal all the time. If the person is on the slimmer side, everyone acts like a doctor or a medical practitioner. They want to suggest their remedies and try their experiments on that person.  The person is absolutely normal and perfect. What bothers them is YOU so stop acting smart. Before asking the person this question about being active or if he or she is suffering malnutrition, ask yourself the question whether you are being active and healthy all the time.

5)      You stir my anger with Steroids

This one stirs me to that limit that my eyeballs will come out in anger and rage. The last thing the person on the slimmer side needs is steroids. Have you ever thought of the after effects of those dangerous chemical. If you don’t know how science acts, please get your facts correct and talk to the person. Steroids are the harmful chemical which turns your body upside down. It can lead to dangerous consequences so beware when someone suggests you this. Tell them that you love yourself and don’t want to change for anyone.

Things which person on the slimmer side can enjoy:

 Dont worry about others. The strange thing about others is they are extremely jealous of you. You being on the slimmer side is what irks them. You don’t have to go for walk in the morning. You will get extra sleep. You will get to munch more cookies and ice creams. Cheese will find a lovable connection with you. You can easily walk up and down the stairs. You can try different patterns of clothes on you.

Live, love and laugh. Life is about that. Stop worrying about others. Stop feeling bad. YOU are BEAUTIFUL.

    Not like that,Sharanya.Many people appreciate slim ones,for they require a little space in vehicles and crowded area to sit. They can easily sit on the floor folding the legs.Fat people need chairs.Useful post.

      Thanks so much rudra. But you know what though they have lot of advantages in relation to their opposites, they have to face societal pressure.

PURPLE HIBISCUS – The fragrance of Hope and Freedom will be etched in your hearts forever

“I wanted to tell Mama that it did feel different to be back, that our living room had too much empty space, too much wasted marble floor that gleamed from Sisi’s polishing and housed nothing. Our celing was too high. Our furniture was lifeless: the glass tables did not shed twisted skin in the harmattan, the leather sofas’ greeting was a clammy coldness, and the Persian rugs were too lush to have any feeling. But I said, “You polished the etagere.” " The above text appears when Jaja and Kambili return from Nsukku, their Aunty Ifeoma’s house, and witness their place as dull and lacking warmth even though the house glistened like a palace. The warmth that Aunty Ifeoma’s house had carried during the days they spent despite having a nondescript house and where they prayed every day for Peace and Laughter. Laughter among all the things. Because Laughter was valued in their house everyday despite living with shortcomings something that Kambili hardly got to experience in own h

Positivity in Tee: Reading between the Errands

  You cannot run from positive affirmations even if you think you have run out of them.   They will come, looking for you. All you have to do is keep your eyes wide open and graciously receive them with warmth and care. They can come to you at any moment and from any quarter perhaps, while running errands like when the momentum has picked up in you to array the disarray in your child’s wardrobe. When that happens, you treat them as a little note, an epiphany or a sacred sign from the universe and insert them as a key that locks itself into your mind with an audible click, only to unlock a change in you and get reflected in every journey you embark. When your little one’s Tees mouth affirmations, you cannot just run away without glancing at it. Start small, dream big, repeat – Starting small and repeating them with consistency is so underrated these days. So much of today’s world is rooted in instant gratifications and making it big in a wink of time. Small, incremental progress is th

Schedule joy: A Crucial Tip That Kept Me Sane

  Though there are self-care practitioners, influencers and life coach who practice and encourage people to practice self-care, we don’t practice it ourselves until there is a severe push or introspection. The precursor to start a habit is always our own willingness to practice it. We should fully be consumed with the idea to be able to produce it in full force. You must have heard buy first, pay later. Here also you need to buy the idea of the habit first but the difference is once the habit is formed and sustains in your routine, you are getting paid by its multi-fold benefits. My cousin and I had a conversation just recently when he was in India. A chance question sent me on the lane of introspection. I was absently gazing at nothingness when he asked me mainly because I was not able to produce a suitable reply. Firstly, I stared in disbelief for the question was unusual and secondly that made me go inward to seek answer and put forth as a justified reply. A simple question it w
