Feasting

The month of fasting has started, with the general hunger pangs, another realisation dawns we eat too much. In addition to our 3 mains, we stuff our selves with food in between. Why are we hungry all the time? Or is it just we are bored and we munch away? Or do we see food get a craving eventhough we may not be hungry? Compensating on something else which food? Binging cause we are going through a roller-coaster of emotions?  Or because it's just there?
All of these reasons are moot, we just eat too much. Sri Lankans are generously proportioned due to the staple of rice in our menu and the quantity we consume. The additional munching is bringing out obesity, for all the desk sitters out there.
If you can't exercise then you need to control your intake. Simple? And does that work?

Old vs new

So got my hands on a new phone. The first few day u get up early or sleep late trying to learn the ins and outs of the phone. A few days later u realise your using the new phone for the same things that you were using in the old phone.
So the investment in a phone more expensive and advanced may have not really changed anything. Oh yes it is wider, slimmer and my phone would be the centre of attraction with my friends and colleagues.... But then does it make life better?
Over the weekend I realised that I spent more time with my phone than my family. But on the flip side it also gave me an insight to what my brother's thinking, when he helped out with the decision,  purchasing and use.
So buying the new phone was it really necessary? Was it just my pride to have the latest phone out there? Will it consume too much of my time? Help cement existing ties?
