The Four Humors ......

By
This Professor told us some rather interesting stuff ..... 'bout the four humors ... it seems our body consists of four elemental fluids. They are:
Yellow Bile (Fire)
Black Bile (Earth)
Phlegm (Water)
Blood (Air)

Each of the humors was associated with one of the four universal elements (Fire, Earth, Water & Air). An imbalance in the distribution of these fluids was thought to affect each individual's personality


Too much blood, made one SANGUINE; these people are generally amorous , sturdy, confident, cheerful, sociable, carefree, lively.

Too much black bile, MELANCHOLIC; and these people are usually moody, anxious, sentimental, introspective, reserved

Too much yellow bile, CHOLERIC; and these folks are easily angered, agressive, short-tempered, ambitious, restless, impulsive

& too much phlegm, PHLEGMATIC; they are calm, unemotional, cool, impassive, careful, reliable, even-tempered

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

Raining on a Sunday.....

By
Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake. This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas. P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them. On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?
