I love vacations and my most recent one was with my family — after nearly 10 years. Before the trip, I had decided that while on vacation I would not think about my work outs or diets. When I announced this to my friend she said, “Try not to eat just about anything. Try to [...]
My teacher would always tell me that the basic problem with most youngsters today is that they are always extremely enthusiastic when they start something new. But then that enthusiasm soon fizzles out. I think that is exactly what is happening with me and my gym work outs. I started gymming with great gusto, but [...]
It’s been about two months since I began writing this column. Ever since, I’ve been itching to write this line, “I have lost weight.” Yes, you read it right, as much I find it hard to believe as well, I have indeed lost weight. When a few friends told me that I did look like [...]
Gym Diaries I’ve always been a people’s person and love making friends. It doesn’t take me too long to chat up somebody and create a lasting friendship. However, despite three months of gymming I still haven’t made any friends there — apart from my colleague, who is also my gym buddy. Sometimes I wonder why [...]

Kubra Fatima Ask any Hyderabadi what they love about the City and they will have many things to say — food, greenery and people being the usual suspects. On the contrary, if you ask them what they hate and ‘travelling in an auto’ will be the first response. Even though going around the twin cities [...]
