Heavy Dinner expenses + diet experiments with my body

What have I had for dinner in the past two days ? Here's the list.

• Feb 24th, Sunday:
  
• Curd rice ( 25/- )
  
• Bread Omelette ( 15/- )
  
• Cold cofee ( 10/- )
• Total expenditure: Rs. 50/-

• Feb 25th, Monday:
• Sweet corn masala ( 20/- )
• Pani Puri ( 5/- )
• Snickers chocolate ( 30/- )
• A banana ( 1/- )
• Sprouted Green Gram ( 2.5/- )
• Total expenditure: Rs. 60 ( approx. ) + Rs. 25 ( Inevitably cut because I did not cancel dinner )

135/- of wasted money. I could have happily ordered a Veg. Biryani ( you know I am a vegetarian, don't you ? ) from Anupama :(

Inspired by naveen, I too to see how my body responds if I stop drinking Coffee and Tea. So, I just ( as of 2349 hrs IST, feb 25th 2008 ) had my last cup of tea for atleast a week days. If possible, more. Everybody is getting health conscious these days. Sarika is planning to work out at gym. Naveen won't eat bananas for obvious reasons. Pramod wants to eat bananas for the same obvious reasons :P God knows how sairam is taking care of his health. Anyway, I'll try to convince him to come to swimming 'and' or 'or' jogging next month :D May lady luck smile at me.

My Google account

I didn't know the use of a very good email id in my first year. Precisely the first gmail account that was created for me. harith.s . See, how simple it is :D. I can stay like this and appreciate the simplicity of this ID for an hour :P. Lesson learnt? Definitely. Listen to what seniors say. I'm glad I did not delete this one like I deleted a "few" others. Really a "few". I deleted a google account to see if my orkut account would be deleted. Got bored of orkut and deleted another one. I also remember deleting an account because I didn't like blogger. All these were before the end of my second year.

Anyway, I'm glad to have not deleted this one. I though this could come in handy sometime in the future. Now, the intricacies in switching to this account ? Many.

1. Orkut: I recently started orkuting and I already deleted a couple of my old accounts. So, it would be irritating for people to add me again and again and again. They might think I am crazy.
   
2. GTalk: Though I don't have many friends in gtalk, I still have this orkut problem again.
   
3. G Reader: Oh! the feeds I have subscribed to while browsing? This is not a problem , because I can just export and import the OPML file.
4. GMail: Never a problem because GMail has POP/Mail forwarding. And you can use "send mail as" feature.
   
5. Docs, Calendar, etc: There is always sharing. Ah! I love web 2.0 Do you know when it was released ? :P ( Naveen told me that he heard someone asking that question. Funny thing is, the other person replied "I think it's planned for a release in the next year" :)) )
6. Google: Forgot the most important thing ? My google web history! I don't think there is a feature in google search that allows me to export all that google has learnt from my searches and import this information into another account. I have this habit of referring to java api if I have a doubt. So, when I first started learning java, I always clicked the java docs api pages. Now, google knows that I want those pages. So, it's just giving me those in the beginning. If I google for "String", I have this java docs api page java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html as my first result. Below that, I have the usual wiki links:

String (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My wingmates very well know why I have that string theory there ;) See the results , even google knows that I am more of a computer science student than a physics student :D So, what do you get if you google "String" ?

Why do I want to switch anyway ? Obvious. I can't tell someone my gmail ID without getting embarrassed , can I ? Since this is the only problem, I can use the cookie swap firefox extension to quickly switch google accounts. And there is a google account multi-login grease monkey script that sucks badly. Since I want my GTalk to tell me when I have a new mail in my Inbox, a simple mail forwarding should do. But, all the tags ? Aah! the nightmare. What ever I do, I need to make a quick decision and get contact IDs of many ug2k4 people.
