Scary weight loss place

So every time I start going to the gym with renewed dreams of losing weight, the thought that comes to mind is ... how long before it comes true.
Not this time though. This time I walked in with the knowledge that its not gonna be easy, it will take time and patience is the virtue to focus on. So I looked around; there were these buff instructors and chiseled regulars and these really hard working (I mean 5 miles a day types) packing 250 lbs or more. Hold on. 250 lbs or more? Double checked. I was right. So now the thought that comes to mind is ... if these guys, after working so hard cant, what makes me think I can.
For those reading this and familiar with my old adage ... why take the trouble to climb up the hill, when eventually you need to come down anyway :D

Solar Energy for community development

So there are a few social entrepreneurs who are doing their bit for the community as they earn a living for themselves. Case in particular being SELCO which operates in Karnataka, India and there is another one in Mumbai I think. This post is basically intended at anyone who wants to intern at SELCO. Its a good idea. This company has won the Ashden Award in 2007 and a host of other national awards for their work in CSR.
