Swami is no more !!

sad.
I have no words to say.

[Memento Vivere]

Very saddened to learn about Swami's passing. I posted here only very briefly a long time ago ... but still recall the few interactions with Swami. Hazir jawab. A gentleman and a gentle admin. EC ki shaan. True to his given name, a kamal. A keechad mein kamal. : )

the image of an old mother seeing the whatsapp messages and calling... not fair when the young cut in line like this.

Wishing Swami ki aatma ko shaanti aur himmat to his near and dear.

Anyway, my next health check up is on February.

These are all done as a blood test.

If you have high cholesterol, then its a early warning sign towards heart related problems. So I would recommend that you also get a ECG done. Depending on the ECG results, you might also look into having a 2D Echo of your heart.

A desi IT worker in his early 40s passed away from a heart attack last week in my city.. very sad. They have a gofund me campaign to raise funds to help out. I was helping the family get in touch with politicians if they could help in any way with the immigration. The guy was waiting on Green Card, owns a house, is survived by his wife, 2 kids, son is 16 years old and daughter is 4 years old. Very sad.

This stupid sedentary lifestyle is taking it's toll on IT workers. We just move our fingers on keyboard all day, live in air conditioned spaces.

Wow - Kya timing ha tumhare post ka... sorry to hear about your acquaintance's demise.


I just put some money down on a Bow-flex fitness trainer (M5) and have been working out diligently since the last 1 week (30 mins every day)

good results so far - have lost 5 pounds.. hoping to lose another 20 - might take a month or 2.. since i'm hearing that the first few pounds are quicker/easier.. the next few really make you work..

key is regularity and diet.. hoping to post progress as i go along..

I would recommend a 30 minute walk everyday where you feel a little heaby breathing and get your heart rate up and feel a bit of sweat.

Don't just focus on weight. It will go down or at least you won't gain any.

Ensure that you walk a lot and consistently everyday!

Make a huge difference. I know it as I do it.

^^ keep doing at least half hour of walking or running or whatever, sweat it out.. these days i do some light exercise and skip rope in between.
