Post Holiday Guilt: Food & Health Insights

Winter holiday is a special time of year, celebrating togetherness and the warmth of traditions. Around the table, stories, laughter, and memories intertwine, with food taking center stage, flavoring our most genuine moments of sharing. But what happens when, after the festivities, we look in the mirror or recall the many toasts and delicious dishes we’ve enjoyed? For many, guilt sets in: “I’ve eaten too … Continue reading Post Holiday Guilt: Food & Health Insights

Absurdities

The other night my wife and I celebrated our 6-year wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant called Absurdities. It was, without a doubt, the weirdest dining experience of my life. The restaurant itself was comprised of various rooms or “worlds.” In each world (6 in total), we were served a different course. We had to find multiple hidden doors and crawl through various spaces … Continue reading Absurdities

A Singapore Fling

It occurs to me that I’ve gone through something of a divorce over the past year or so. Only, it’s not been to a person but a place. Of course, there have been others. York for one. We had a few difficult years together. Then there was Oxford where I went to university. That was a nonstop party. And I’ve certainly sowed my wild oats. … Continue reading A Singapore Fling

Food for Soul

Hello! You know how often we talk about the food we eat and how it affects our body. What we put inside affects the way our body functions. I agree with that. But I agree with more: what we put in our minds affects our soul (or psyche). Here is what I mean. Let’s say your friends are people who gossip a lot. That means … Continue reading Food for Soul

Physical warmth and interpersonal outcomes – Reblog

I came across an interesting experiment about how physical experiences affect our interactions with others. In 2008 Lawrence E. Williams and John A. Bargh found out in their study Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth that something as simple as the temperature of a coffee can have an influence on us judging the others. This is how their experiment worked: forty-one students have been placed in … Continue reading Physical warmth and interpersonal outcomes – Reblog

Mental Food

Hi all, Today, I am going to talk about food again, but a different type, namely mental food, aka thoughts. If you want to read my earlier post about food-food, check out this link. We have all probably heard the phrase ‘We are what we eat’, right? That is why we should be careful about what we take in as food, because food we eat … Continue reading Mental Food

Is Sacrifice always required?

While writing these lines I’m fighting the thought of giving in to some junk food or to stick with my self-imposed diet since I feel the need to lose some weight. The temptation is huge, but I’m constantly reminding myself to stick to the plan! So I need to sacrifice this impulse so I can get a step closer to my goal. This made me … Continue reading Is Sacrifice always required?

Food

Hi everyone, Let’s talk about food today. I have always been interested in human universals and I also have had sufficient enough interaction with people from different cultures. I noticed a lot of similarities between all these people but one thing that always caught my attention more than anything else is how food works for all. We all know that we need food to literally … Continue reading Food
