Strange but true... everyone says Facebook is a waste of time But I have reservations about this Millions upload their pictures everyday Selfies are in vogue now Thousands have suddenly enrolled at the Gym everyday Everyone has started buying branded clothes and accessories online now Carrying a latest smartphone is a must now Millions have started dieting to look thin Thousands have gone under the scalpel Rhinoplasty ( nose job ) and breast augmentations are normal now Liposuction and other cosmetic surgery have increased a thousandfold Megapixels are understood by everyone More megapixels, better photos More pictures on Facebook, more fame...Dr Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist
Never lend your books Nobody ever returns them You can't trust your dearest friend there when it comes to books Be careful with your hats and umbrellas They are bound to be exchanged knowingly obviously for the worse I am sure, you can recall vividly about Umbrella morals by A G Gardiner But I think, he's wrong So long as you spend the money on someone you don't feel bad giving gifts to friends and donating to charities How's losing a book or an umbrella is different from charity Why can't we think for once it's been gifted to someone a more deserving person in need moreover, a person stealing your book never forgets you Let's forget our lost book and umbrella for once...Dr Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist
Dear Friends, if you want to enjoy the sights, sounds, taste of your beloved place of residence you need to bicycle. I am a doctor and I must tell you that bicycling is the best way to reduce your chances of depression, diabetes, obesity, arthritis and also to some extent stroke, heart attack and cancer. I started cycling recently, frankly, after watching the recent blockbuster Piku at RSI Secunderabad. Amitabh Bachchan as an old man of 70 years was shown riding around the city on a bicycle. And he gets relief of his chronic constipation. Regular cycling has too many physical and mental health benefits. It will definitely reduce your weight, stress and improve your physical fitness. It engages your legs while being easy on your joints. You can get fit without trying too hard just by bicycling fifteen minutes everyday. I bicycle for one strange reason which I must share, the extra flow of oxygen to my brain boosts my creative thinking... Dr Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist
I regularly get messages from my credit card people Save paper, save trees Evidently, they don't want to send me my monthly bill as hard copy Strange, nobody says, stop buying books and newspapers I subscribe to TOI every month, but I rarely sit and read the entire newspaper Reason is simple, I have TOI application on my mobile phone And I get a notification of every important news as it occurs I am much better informed than any regular newspaper buffs I would repeat the same rhetoric about reading text books and expensive fiction They are all available on the net for free I feel much more comfortable reading on a laptop or a smartphone The matter is written in much more friendly pattern and also with option of increasing the font size by zooming YouTube and Google have answers to anything and everything Unlike beating around the bush seen in every textbook You save your precious time and you get your answers in minutes Your "funda "about some issue may not be clear even after reading long lengthy chapters of textbook...I mean your concept...and perspective But you can understand the core of the discussion within minutes when you surf I have finished dozens of books in just few years since I became a nerd on net I was a slow reader when I used to read my textbooks But now, I'm amazingly fast reader on the net and grasping what I should Please think over it...I can anticipate your reply...that you're used to the feel and smell of the paper...and you love to sit with your cosy book at a corner I would say that you just need to get over it and start reading on net And save paper and save trees...and your precious money...
