Staying Hungry or Eating Junk
I have always been debating with myself over this point and finally it came to a head when I heard about Daniel Vaz's hospitalisation from these pages. I remember reading that Daniel, on landing in Chandigarh, forgot to have his meal. Don't know whether Daniel took ill because of that, but hope and pray that the man who guides us so articulately recovers soon.
The eternal debate has been whether to eat whatever is available OR stay hungry to eat the right (healthy) food. Now (since November last year), I have been at peace with myself. I eat what is available. I do not mind walking an extra mile if I know that good food is available and I have the time is on my hands. But sometimes, I just do not have the time and end up eating what is available, which could even be a Wadapav. I always strived to have four meals because anything less will make me feel weak. So, to keep up with the energy levels, I eat four times.
Eating Junk is never right, and despite the constraints, I keep away from certain foods. Michael Jordan loved junk food and it was only when he started getting pushed around that he realised that he needs the strength that he hired a trainer Ed Grover to help him increase his body weight. Jordan cut down on junk food and subsequently won three NBA titles. Jordan, of course, is a top-class athlete who does not have to commute and work in offices like we do.
There are enough qualified people amongst our ranks to guide us on this subject. Please pour in your thoughts.

Ironically...even I was down with a stomach bug. This time eating too much!. Too much or too little or nothing is dangerous!
