How to eat to gain weight- a ectomorphs dairy

This time I will not claim to be around here for long time, so when I want to come back and I want to write something I will be here.

    So for the past three months many of my London friends were left this place and went back to their homeland. And Ii genuinely wish them all the best. So my routine is changed to gym,office,home and since then my priorities changed , I want to focus somewhere just to get a grip with my new priorities. So what I did was just focus on my diet aka eat more calories.

So I had a jump start at the start of this year and I cooked a lot and I ate a lot, and proper food. More carbohydrates, protein diet. Every 3 hours I tried to eat something and I would say I succeeded somehow. Before this diet I was on 69 kg, and today when I'm on 73-74. I never had these kind of gain other than when I was on my time hitting gym in 2007-2008. So as a fitness enthusiast I'm very pleased with my results. Being said, its not permanent, all these body, diet, isolation, compound movements I don't know how long I'm going to stick into.

I would try to describe my diet here:

I'm an ectomorph means, very hard to put on mass(hard gainer)
My body characteristics: easy to get ripped, always have a very good visible core,obliques and a high metabolism it means I can eat a 15 inch Pizza on one go, Last time on 31st of December 2012. And It will burn as normal food.

what I ate:  
Lots of Potatoes, mixed vegetable, fish, chicken(grilled), double cream, banana, peanut butter, soft cheese, oil, rice, Progain (450 calories) twice a day

what I did not eat (I would love to eat):
Lots of coke, pepsi,popcorn, pizza,Mcd, KFC


Potatoes : Very good source of carb
               Boil it, add some flavour and salt and eat
              U can mix potatoes with some mixed veg, flavour it and eat

Chicken :best lean protein, try to grill it and eat

Double cream: yes I said it correct, just for some extra calories, I made salad with banana, strawberry

banana,apple: good source of energy

Peanut butter : 2 table spoon daily, fat and protein

Soft cheese:  just for fun with wholegain bread

Rice: I'm an Indian, I eat Rice so end of story.

Oil: I tried to use very less oil to spray on the pan, Once Oil is cooked its not very good, but oil is necessary
   Oil before cooking is unsaturated and when u cook, it will turn to saturated and too much saturated fats, oil will give you very bad cholesterol.

One of the things I have noticed when I was in India, our food is healthy, but the the way we eat food is not very healthy. And I think I should write more about the food culture of India in the next blog, as I think I have more information to emphasize on.

What I did in the gym is coming up in my next one.

eat well
Bye

A new start !

                            This time I might be here for a long time. I have been out of the blog for such a long time and so much things are happening and happened around me and to those surrounding me. I always wanted to come back as a normal blogger but I was held back because of the commitment which I have to make with the blog. Hopefully this time the commitment will be strong and successfull.
                            
                               So what I was saying is I was fortunate to get a job which is related to what I have done in my past as an academic. And I'm glad that I'm reached in a place where there is a chance of growth personally and professionally. I'm meeting new individuals making new coversations and its nice to be surrounded by smart people.

More info coming very soon....

Finding questions!!!!!

Right now, I don't have an idea what exactly in my mind. Its like a lot of things going around in different directions, colliding with each other, multiplying , and each after each moment the the things are getting increased exponetially. But it doesn't mean that I'm drunk or stoned. I'm perfectly fine but not my mind. Its a total chaos. But i'm sure about one thing whats happening inside my head, it's a hell lot of question marks and some exclamation marks. The words like 'why' 'how' 'when' are most common.

Its kind of questioning myself and getting no answers and I hope that I'll get the answers soon enough. Another important thing which is helpful or lucky or unlucky I'm keeping my self silent emotionally. Its 'emotional silence' which is noted by someone else not me unsurprisingly.
I'm running out of words because the chaos is happening again and I'm loosing my concentration.
So untill next time bye from me.....

my next blog will be a tribute to a special person.

Dissappointed with me....

In fact its been two years I have been in here in so called UK. And inn the second year I have been wasting my time and resources and still I'm not done with it. It still overflowing with a lot of miseries and a lot of unimaginative daily routine.

In the first year celebration of being in London things were a bit different from this time on the second time. Our so called 43A Church road house has been dispersed. But its not the house dispersed. Its the people who used to live went on their way of living. Everybody was expecting that seperation and it happened eventually and I couldn't say whether its been a good, bad or worse. In a way it was good for each one of us to reflect backk at our own life. But in a other way it was breakdown of all the good relations, fun and the goodtimes. I was blessed in a way where ever I reached it was always easy for me to make some deep relationships and I'm happy with my people skill.

In my MDX university life there wasn't too many deep friends but I managed to make some of them very memorable. One guy and another girl. Salis and vaida. Salis bhai was like my elder brother aka friend. I'll never forget him. The next one is so special in my life. I don't know what will happen to the relationship in the future with her. We both are standing against the wave of life and trying to find the best possible opportunities to be successful for ourself and for our family. In a way there is a same amount of pressure building up within our system and we bothe of us struggling. And without a doubt I can say that she is a perfect companion for me. Eventhough there is more differences than the similarities between us there is something special chemistry is there in between us. And we both enjoy that chemistry. Moreover anything I have got a lot of respect for her for being Vaida. And that's enough said....

Authority of a reader

For the past two months I was reading the book 'Shantaram' by Gregory david roberts. The only time I read that book is when I'm on my way to work and back to home. During the returning journey the possibility of opening that book is very less. In other way I can say that time consuming too read that book on my way to work only.
It set the tempo from the start itself, and it never let down my reach the page I folded last time. That was not as keen as the tempo and grip given by my previous books such as Dan brown series. the special thing about the Dan brown books is Before reading any of his books I started the search for his books. The name came into my mind when there was a buzz about Davinci code. So I backtracked and got the first book Digital fortress and that was interesting one. Then to Deception point, was also a good one. Then I started with davinci code through angels and demons and finished off with Lost symbol. May be because I started reading from the beginner to intermediate to advanced as in the same pace of that books from dan brown. It was easy for me to grasp the difference in the intelligent quotient in each of the books. That was steady growth for me as reader. And in between I read the book 'Tuesdays with morrie', which is based on a true story, and that gave me a lot of new thoughts and sights towards the life. And I'm not shameful to admit that there was two drops of water like substance accumulated in the corner of my eyes, and I'm proud and happy to read that book in my life. Thanks to one of my dear friend, giving that book to me.
And yesterday when I was reading Shantaram, some instance in the book gave me the same feeling of missing someone, a friend of mine who lost his life in a tragic accident 4 months ago. He was a good guy, and its not the way to end a life like this, especially a person who always had a open hearted smile and a good heart. And all the heart beats and the blood flow stopped at a specific time, which is set by someone known as God in the play called Life.
Libor ...may your soul rest in peace.....

Common wealth games

CWG known as common wealth games which includes around 73 nations this year, is the third biggest sporting event of any kind after Olympics and Asian games. And this time the games is going to held in Delhi, the capital of India. The reason why I'm mentioning about the CWG in my blog is because it is shameful for me as an indian to say that this time its going to be too messy.

Although the media in india having a very good story line in their main stream, because of the amount of money scam and allegations towards the members of the commitee. Around 300,000 crores of indian rupees is put on the games and nobody is sure about the where they put the money whether to support the games or support themselves. I can say one thingh with proud that we are standing 84th in the corruption ranking and its not a good sign at all. Our neighbours are 134 in the same ranking. We have got almost the same cultural background, so its not a surprise.


Almost none of the venues are completed on the deadline of August 1. And most of the sponsors are pulling back from the event. The multinational companies in Indian soil have got proper resources and proper knowledge to invest money. And they don't invest in something which is not profitable.

IOA president Mr Suresh kalmadi claimed that CWG is going to be better than the Beijing olympics. I hope this will become true. But its impossibly challenging. If it happen to be a mega event, then that will be a huge achievement for the faceof india which is demoralised by the allegations and the counter allegations about money and politics.

I'm sure about one thing, whether it will be successful or not some of them india already had good economic boost because of the Common "wealth " game.
The name is a very identical and synonymous with the problems that arose.

all the best for the games.....
pull it off ..from the gutter....Please...

what a celebration

It is supposed to be enjoyable day of a keralite.....and in my case I was not enjoying that day at all. I felt sick yesterday because of the work, literally short temepered, hated myself being there in the fucking job (sorry for the abusive language). Thats not the end, finishing the job, waiting for the bus, walking in the rain, reached home at 3.00 am.



I didn't feel the rain when I was walking, what i felt was my heart was beating like hell, in a way I felt that heaviness. And it was suffering, really it was. For that moment itself I realized that what a disaster I'm. And I'm feeling the same till now.



What wonderful day as a Keralite, and what a day as person. I need to bear this, because I demanded it. So all blame is on myself.



happy onam wishes to all my friends and family back home.....

hmmm..

its been a very long time tht I have never been here in my blog..its nothing but laziness....

a lot of things were moved so fastly and somethings slowly throgh my mind.....work is going well..nothing much headache...the only thing you need to look after is ur health...by taking food and staying fit....

I'm mentally fit too...but sometimes somethings in our mind makes us bit vague and faint.....we need to tackle tht at anyway...and I did almost well ....

last to last week I got some very good fever....During the nights my full body was shivering and paining..but in the morning it was ok....so I did my usual stuff..going uni...gym....and all....
I didnt tell anythng about this to parents...its not a good thng to tell them...
But all these could be done to ur frnds back home...and I did so wth awarng of not to tell the matter to my home....

my study is very slow.nothing special...on dissertation...hav to keep up the good spirit in near future....

there is a plan..but its not sure......
I want to go home on this january after my dissertation......also I dnd want to go home.......
may be it will be 2-3 weeks...but still confused whether to go or not to go.....my parents really want me to come there....I wanted tht too....going there in my place..in my town...in the shops...meeting ffriends..playing voleyball....I wanted to do watever I have missed in these days....but economically it will hurt me if I go there.....ii wanted to use my own money to fly there live ther and fly back....I hope I can do tht.....

sometimes U thnk tht everythng is going well....and in the other second u will feel tht nothng is going right....sometimes I really get angry...especially in these days....I dnd know....This is frightening me....becoz I was a very very short temepered person 2 years ago....and I changed tht deliberately...by being a listner not being part of the conversation.....I thnk I was successfull too...may be people like me becoz only of this nature....when I'm angry...even I hate myself being me....so how is it possible for the others to like me...its impossible....

so if by writing about my temper, may be I can get back to my lisening mode, and everythng will be smooth.....hope so....

everybody is selfish I thnk...including me.....thts the biggest problem....also thts the biggest solution too....

still in a roller coster ride of life which taught me a lot.....still its not over....

I would love to be here.....bt still I miss my friends...a lot sometimes....when I dond have anythng to do over here....

I would like to share the last day in back home.....

If I'm not wrong it was a saturday.....my flight was in the nyt.....
When I got up in the morning in my room.....I didnt realized the importance of the day....

and all the packing was done by myself friday nyt itself........
after getting up...I went to gym......to work on my abs.....
usually in the morning I go to gym to work for my abs.....becoz it easy to work for the core without any food....

I came back....then went to our temple......went to my grand father and grand mother.....cameback....called some friends....say bye bye....

nobody was there in home other my father and mother......
My friend came at nyt....to accompany me to the airport....wth my father...

still nothng special....a vacuum..no emotions..no expressions....

I went to my dogs cage....she doesn't know anythng yet...tht I'm here....ha ha ha ...

my mom told me to take care..and a hug...I didnt say anythng....

on the way to airport I picked another friend of mine from the way itself...and I was driving to the airport...as I was going drop someone there....as usual enjoying driving,,...listening to the music......

wat kind of farewell was tht.....bt its not about the farewell....it was nice....

I dnd know y I'm telling these craps now......

One thng is sure...I changed a lot...as a person...not in a bad way......the reason is , the journey tht I have strted in jan 10 th of 2009.... and still its on.....

hope for the best....as always.....

someone said to me ..."everythng happens for a reason...."

so there must b a good reason behind everythng happening to me.....!!!!
