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!

Dont be afraid to fly

Dreams are our ticket to experience a whole new world which we long to be in. As a young kid we all had a dream to become a doctor, and then ,when we went to school we wanted to be a teacher, when we went to see the circus we wanted to be a joker and it kept changing frequently as our minds wished. Adulthood changes all the rules of life. We can't be naive anymore. The world out there can be big and bad and we always have to live by the sword. The flip side of that can be- we can get cut easily. Dreaming gives us a chance to be a kid again. In our dreams we can be anyone and still noone judges us. Dreaming and hoping are the two feelings we must hold near to our heart and not let them slip at any point of time. Many people are afraid to take the lead and want to follow all the time. They can lead but are afraid if they go wrong, then what? But if you keep thinking of the consequences, you will never be able to get anything done in the first place, forget about failing or ...

Why drinking tea won't change your skin colour.

It's not a secret that in our Indian society people still look at dusky skin colour with much disdain. They will talk about how progressive they are but at the same time twitch their nose at anyone who do not conform to their standards of beauty and intellect. People still think drinking tea which is dark in colour might literally change their skin colour. So the more you drink tea the duskier you become. I cant decide who is more stupider - the people who are perpetuating this to be true or the people who dont drink tea in the fear of getting duskier. Nothing could be more outlandish than a beverage getting to decide who can be fair and who cannot be fair. Furthermore someone needs to tell the dogmatics that the colour of the skin is different because of the melanin in our body which has changed and evolved according to the climatic conditions and relocation of our ancestors for their survival. Just because one is dark coloured you cannot differentiate him/her. The only ...

Is your emotional bandwidth taking a dip?

Dont we all occassionally need a break from the daily grind? We sometimes are so emotionally drained that we cannot handle anything more. We exercise, eat nutritious food, sleep for more than six hours and still feel exhausted. Is it because there is too much on the plate? So much is expected from you. Kids want to play with you, hubby wants to know where his socks have disappeared for the 23rd time, you have to decide what you want to wear for work, inlaws just called to know when you can spend time with them, boss wants to know if you can prove your mettle and that he has not made a mistake by hiring a woman who has two kids and a lot going on with her. So many decisions. Small or not, doesn't matter. The fact that so many people are dependent on you for all the answers can be sometimes overwhelming. When as friends, women talk and share, they expect to get support from each other. They share stories and experiences and ask- what do you think? Am I doing the right thing....

Small things in life matter .
