Organic food blog

My mother-in-law is a true believer in the health benefits of organic food and in fact almost everything in their fridge is organic. I too was influenced and a large percentage of our food purchases consist of this type of food. Would have loved to have 100% of our food intake to be organic but that's simply not possible. One strong factor is the cost. We simply can't afford it here in the UK.

The fact that organic food is much costlier than the normal food is one of the major reasons that turn people away from this healthy food. However, if we put into the calculations savings on hospital, medicine and other bills, we might actually be saving more in the long run as we are healthier. I don't know whether it's just in the head but we do feel healthier.


Anyway, if you are look for more information on organic food I would recommend you to visit "Live Life… Organics & Your Health". it has loads of articles on natural and alternative health topics, especially organic food. The site belongs to my friend Doris, who also writes in her personal blog and shopping blog.

Just another day

It was my birthday yesterday.

Had a long distance conversation with my two sisters down under. Then chatted with my parents over Skype. It really cheered me up.

In the evening we had a small private party - me, my wife and our two darlings.

Growing older and hopefully wiser.

Gatwick to Orlando

I blogged about my childhood dream to visit Walt Disney world in Orlando in Florida. Yes!It's sad but I have never been there.

My friend was commenting that he won't go across the Atlantic just to visit some Children's theme park. Some people may disagree with that. Not wanting to get into an argument, I just pointed out that Orlando is not only about Walt Disney world. For those who are not aware, the place has over 90 attractions. This includes the Universal Studios and Seaworld. No wonder that Orlando has over 40 million tourists a year.

So if you guys are planning to visit Orlando for your holidays, you will be thrilled to learn that you can have a cheap flight to Orlando. For example, price of a flight with Northwest Airlines from Gatwick to Orlando starts from £150 (+ £130 tax). This offer is valid from 01 March 2007 until 30 March 2007. 

On a quest to ending debt

Almost everybody I know has some kind of debt or another - whether it's paying for a car, house, or education. And I am no exception. "Broke as a Spoke" is the journey of Corrin on her quest to become debt free. She has loads of posts on practical ways to save money. However, she says that "I’m here to learn, not teach."

I don't understand how reading what she spent her money on could be interesting but it is.

Yoga is good for you

During my younger days in University, I was a yoga fanatic and I could do complex poses like the "Mayurasana" or the peacock pose with ease. I don't know why, but with time I got sucked into the corporate world and slowly lost Interest in yoga when it would have benefited me the most.

A few days back, me and my wife were talking about Yoga and I tried to show off some of the simple poses. I was shocked to find how stiff I had become - I couldn't even touch the tips of my hands behind my back, one arm above and other reaching from below.

It's quite funny that the growth of interest in this ancient Indian philosophy in recent years has renewed my Interest. I say philosophy because it is more than just bending your body into strange shapes. It about self control, meditation and much more.

I just came across this site. To illustrate that fact that, Yoga is not all about poses, this is a page about Pranayama, Breathing Exercises explained.

Go over to Yogawiz.com site and learn about the various health benefits and how to use yoga to heal various ailments. Believe me Yoga is good for you.

A little fish blogs

Karen calls herself "a little fish in a big pond" and she blogs at The Pond.

Like my blog, Karen blogs about almost everything (meaning that her blog doesn't have a theme). I am not sure about others but I personally prefer blogs without a theme. Blogs purely on technology or on automobiles can be pretty boring sometimes.

Going through her blog, I came across this post called Cracked Pots. Love the message behind this story. No one is perfect but you are special in your own way.

Battlestar Galactica fan

I haven't watched a single episode of Battlestar Galactica ever since I moved to the UK. Just learned that they have killed off Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace played by Katee Sackhoff on the TV series..

Got this piece of info while going through the Lubyvision blog. Chris, the owner of Lubyvison.com and another Battlestar fan, has decided that Starbuck is not dead and bases it on a few reasons.

FYI, Chris is the director at a summer camp in the Texas hill country.
