Why women eat less as a guest?

Have you ever wondered why we all are a little more hungry when we are a guest at someones house but still we end up eating a little less as a guest. For some people it may be shyness. For some it might be the diet they are following which doesn't allow them to indulge in certain food categories. And some others may have various food allergies.

I always make it a point to eat some thing before leaving my house for a lunch or dinner party. You never know the time at which the food will be served. Why remain hungry till someone else's mercy. Also if a person is a fussy eater and very picky it becomes difficult to feel satiated.

If you are having a pot luck, things look much better as then atleast you would have one dish which you can have without worrying. Also pot luck happens after a lot of deliberations. Women don't want to repeat a dish, do they? Meticulously planned pot lucks usually are lit.

For me, I have never understood how some women nibble on their food and yet are full. I mean common, atleast eat one more portion just so that your guest will feel at ease to go for another helping. The problem with most women is, they dont want to show they are a big eater. For some reason best known only to them. They will go the extent of returning empty stomach from a party and then rummaging for food in their refrigerators.

Look at our men. They can hog on any food, at any time, at any place without noticing if the curry is spicy or the vegetables bland or the seasoning is not to your taste. They are never embarrassed while eating in public and so dont starve themselves.

Also men are more liberal at giving compliments to their hosts which spreads much euphoria and joy resulting in more harmonious conditions required for satiety signals. So everyone is content and happy. Women on the other hand are very careful of how they are projecting themselves to others. They dont want others to see them as big eaters. Most of us are embarrassed to show our real side to the world for the fear of judgement.

So all you women dont be that person who eats less at social gatherings only to return home grumpy and hungry and ending up ordering a large pizza. Cheers!

Small niceties will take you a long way

Today I want to write about the thankless job we all are doing silently without complaining or standing up for ourselves when is required.Being a mother, a homemaker is as thankless as it gets. I ask myself- why do I not think about myself first. Why do I not love myself the way I should. Why are we conditioned as such that the moment we get married and then ofcourse when we have kids, we put ourselves later than everyone else. We should be asking the men in our lives this question - what joy can a woman give to her family if she herself is deprived of happiness. Now you will say define Happiness. I think happiness is very overrated. You don't and cannot run after happiness as It is not an object. It is a feeling of total bliss. If people think that we cant complain because we have the basic necessities and then some more, they are fools. Owning and buying things and objects gives us pleasure and not happiness. We are just human and not super moms or uber or ultra moms. Th

Do you have an opinion yet, no...get one now.

Aren't we all getting too much opinionated? I am not saying it's a good or bad thing. Who am I to decide, right? However, I genuinely think the world will be much better with one less of an opinion. So I try not to give one, atleast on sensitive matters and unless asked for one. These days any Tom Dick and Harry has an opinion about how to run a government. I mean seriously. Also like I said I dont have anything against having an opinion. Every fool has it too. Its your right. All I ask though, is it necessary to give it to all, unsolicited, on each and every matter. Isnt it exhausting? Who wouldn't want to be a person of knowledge than to be a person of too many opinions. Having a say in all the things is unnecessary. Having no opinions at all when needed is also shamed. What needs to be done is having your opinion and holding to it until asked for it. Otherwise it loses its value. People who choose to remain quiet on sensitive matters have their own reasons. For

Help yourself because no one else will.

There are some days when you just get too tired. Emotionally tired, physically tired, mentally tired. The feeling to not do anything sticks with you for a long time. The melancholy which sets in is depressing and doesnt seem to end. The light at the end of the tunnel seems fictional. All that you can see is darkness around and you being dispersed in it. You want to come out of it but you cannot. Darkness is ruthless and its grip tenacious. If you let the feeling linger around you all the time, it will pull you in more. But as soon as you try to free yourself from its shackles the better you start feeling. What got you here wont get you there. It means everytime you are sad you have to use different tactics to come out of the sadness. The same way wont always work for different situations. The more you work at it, the better you get at it. Meditation is one fantastic option. And by meditation I dont mean closing your eyes and sitting for hours together, trying not to thi
