Fat Wallet Syndrome

Achtung to all those with a fat wallet in their back pocket !

Did you guys know that if you are really lazy to clean up your wallet and grows fat, you still keep it in your back pocket, it could potentially cause "Piriformis Syndome" aka "Fat Wallet Syndrome".

So, whats up with that syndrome? This syndrome puts pressure on "Sciatic Nerve" that descends down from lower thigh to the leg. When you keep your wallet in the back pocket, you are putting pressure on this nerve and this can cause lot of problems such as "Pain in the buttocks" or numbness, not able to stand for long time etc.

Dear fells, hence take care not to keep fat wallets in the back pocket.

MTR Ready to Eat

When MTR Foods introduced their ready to eat stuff, there was an interview with the CEO of the Company. He shared one vision "MTR wants to be McDonalds of South India". In my opinion they are heading towards the right direction.

I happened to buy 6 of their ready to eat packs on Sunday, tasking one by one. So far I finished Tamarind Rice, Sambar Rice and Vegetable Pulao. Ofcourse, in the past I also tasted their Pongal, Tomato Rice, Masala Rice. Of all these, the best so far is Veg Pulao. I liked it for two reasons - 1. Less oil than other products in the same category, 2. Less spicy. Next best is Samar Rice, again for two reasons one being less oily and second being the taste (though a bit spicy). Then comes Pongal that does not make you miss the authentic taste. My next choice is Tomato Rice. Though a bit oily, the taste is quite good. Masala Rice takes next position with similar taste as Veg Pulao but more spicy. Tamarind Rice comes last because of heavy oil. If you are a staunch MTR customer, chances are that you would like this because MTR managed to preserve the taste.

By the way, for bachelors in Bangalore I feel this makes a quite nice meal after a hard days work and no time left. All you need to do is keep the pack in boiling water for 5 minutes and your favourite hot dish is ready. Except Veg Pulao, all of them are in the range of 18 to 22 Rs. And if you are really hungry two packs are recommended.
