How I changed in July 2007

Time changeth the man. And so I hereby start documenting the changes in me every month. Here’s the data for July 2007. Read on.

1. Hairstyle
I undertook an audacious task last week of jotting down on how and why I changed my hairstyle and what were the repercussions. A week later I must confess, “I’m loving it“.

2. Breakfast everyday
Waking up half an hour earlier than you usually do had a certain demerit – you feel hungry. So, I have to eat. My typical breakfast these days include 2 bananas immediately followed by half a glass of milk and then a a bowl of cornflakes soaked in milk. For the ever-curious statistician in you here is a figure: The number of times I had breakfast in past 4 weeks actually surpasses the count in its previous 4 years !

3. Learned driving
Started taking Driving Lessons from a neighborhood Motor Training School. 15 days and 1200 (+100 Gurudakshina for the trainer) bucks later, I was an adept driver. But I’m still scared of few things – convergence of all traffic when I turn right after a green-signal at a red light (no pun intended); a rickshaw taking a sudden turn and coming perpendicular to me; a guy jumping on the street suddenly to cross the road.

4. Pranayam every morning
Breath-control exercises every morning for 15 minutes after attending a workshop on Yoga by Yogi-turned entrepreneur-turned Television’s favourite face Baba Ramdev. Mainly Anulom-Vilom and Kapal-Bhati.

5. Overcame chronic Onychophagia
Stopped my habit nail-biting, that is. I have this habit since forever. Look, its not my fault. When I was an infant, my pleasure center lied in my mouth. Don’t believe it? Then read Freudian Theory of Oral Fixation. I learnt that this habit leads to transfer of bacteria from my nails to my mouth. This explains my lean frame. This statement could be extrapolated to state that I will ‘inflate’ myself now. Just wait and watch me ‘grow’.
