Oh you saviour, of the rags and riches alike
The favourite of students, labourers, executives and wise
The in between of a mattress like loaf
Easy on the teeth, pocket, and hope
The staple of Bombay, the vada pav stop

Summer diet: Weight loss summer food

The weather may change but our diet remains constant. Whatever the weather, summer, winter or the monsoon we want our pav bhaji or Schezwan chicken or the spicy kebabs and the masala chai.

But realization never strikes us that change in weather could mean a change in diet as well. For those on a weight loss diet the options are slim, you need food that is delicious, low in calories, rich in vitamins and minerals as well as fibers. Let's peak into your refrigerator and cook up the best summer weight loss meals.

Max on vegetables: Vegetables are the best bet when the sun is unforgiving. Red meat is not advisable for summer as it increases your body's internal energy requirement for digestion - thus, tiring you out if you aren't in great health to begin with. Luckily Indian food is known for delicious vegetarian food, which means that you won't need to make too much of a compromise when shifting to a palette that mostly involves leafy vegetables.

Go easy on the nuts: Dried nuts are rich in calories and to avoid over indulging yourself with nuts have them in small proportion and stock away the rest. Another reason to avoid nuts in summer is that they produce heat in your body, which could result in heat boils. Go easy when snacking on these energy nibbles.

Learn about salads: They are no longer just sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and beetroot. Salads have evolved; restaurants have a wide selection of different salads. Indians are more open to feasting on salads as a meal. It takes less time to prepare and you can toss in anything you want even chicken and fish along with the greens. Add citrus fruits, chilled cucumber and fresh lettuce and you've got the perfect summer meal.

Try the chilled soups: Gazpacho is the first dish that comes to mind when you hear the words - chilled soups. But you can try out soups made of tomatoes, green peas and cucumbers; they are both cooling and refreshing. If you like beetroot, you should try chilled beetroot soup too. Healthy and refreshing, these chilled soups are the perfect starters on a hot and balmy summer night.

Enjoy fruits as desserts: Fruits cool the body, rejuvenate your cells, keep you hydrated, and taste like heaven on a hot summer day. Dice some fruits in a bowl, sprinkle some chat or cinnamon powder and you have an awesome dessert. Watermelon is the most sought after fruit when the sun is relentless.

Meet your summer crush - low fat yogurt: Dairy products are always a healthy option, provided they are low fat. Good for digestion and rich in calcium, you can have yogurt any way you like - whipped into lassi, sweeten with sugar or mixed with fruits. Yogurt is cheap and doesn't need a fancy accompaniment, but you do need a refrigerator to preserve the healthy bacteria.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-melbourne | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide
Concert on Jupiter


Hi dudes and welcome to my concert on Jupiter my first song is summer weather

Ya know it's the summer weather
The BBQ is lit together
The kids are swimming in the sea up and down avoiding sharks
It was the summer weather
Everyone having fun yeah
You see it is the summer weather
And I got my beer to keep me cool
Summer weather
Prepare a nice salad
With lettuce and tomato
And egg and potato
Summer weather
Johnny is jumping in the ocean
From his surfboard into the waves saying he is cool isn't he
Summer weather
The BBQ is lit together
The kids are swimming in the ocean up and down avoiding the sharks
Summer weather
I think the bush fire warning tells them that they must turn the BBQ off because it is
A total fire ban
Summer weather
So we have to think about something else yeah
Like potato salad and tomato and lettuce and a nice Aussie pav
Summer weather
Put the tv on to watch the cricket
To see which team wins the big bash and also see if Australia wins
Summer weather
Go for a yacht  ride on the ocean
A nice pleasurable ride through the waves having fun saying summer definitely rules
It is the summer weather
Cause we have our beer
To keep us cool

Ok here is summer wonderland

Sausages cooking on the barbe
Beer is chilling in the esky
Mum is in the kitchen making the pav enjoying this summer wonderland
Opening presents full of absolute joy
Presents for the girls and the boys
They love it yeah dad likes his beer living in the summer wonderland
On the beach we can build a sand castle and we bury uncle Robbie in the sand
And dad comes out and said hey you bludgers
Give your ****** mother a ****** hand
You see the beer is getting colder as you are getting older
Everyone is saying that we all live and breath in a mighty summer wonderland
You see I drink those beers in the esky
And the flies are a bit pesty
Buzzing around annoying you
Living in a summer wonderland
On the beach we can build a sandcastle and bury uncle Robbie in the sand
Then dad came our saying
Hey you bludgers
Give your ****** mother
A ****** hand
Living strong living long
Living in a hot old land
Walking along sweating so strong living in a summer wonderland

My next song is god bless the merry Tele marketers

God bless the merry Tele marketers I have something to say
Why do you ring me up and express ******* in that way
First of all you don't talk and I feel like hanging up
And other times you say that
People are trying to hack into my computer making me scared to hang up
I know if you hang up they will probably ring again
I wish they will stop calling me
Making me feel like a 10 below 10
I don't believe you have to ring me up every single night
I would prefer to watch a really great YouTube fight
I would like to tell you that you are fucken ****
I know that because of the advice from my mum
I think it sounds like the government trying to hack into the phone and say
If you vote for me in the next election I will give you higher pay
But instead I get people saying
People are hacking into my internet and they make you feel like saying want a ****** bet
God bless you stupid telemarketers I have something to say
You see sometimes you say you Jehovah's Witness saying Jesus was born on Christmas Day
You hang up saying don't call
Me a fucken gain
You see I believe in things
And so should you
You are just a naughty naughty
Really really rude dude
God bless telemarketers
Please stop bugging me mate

The next song is tony Abbott is a *******

Tony Abbott is a *******
A ******* a *******
Tony Abbott is a *******
A big big *******
You see he will ***** the poor and treat us like paupers
And take away our pensions
Like a crazy *******
You see he said he has the power to take away our money
And there is no way we will
Ever get a million
Because Abbott cares about
Is his pocket oh yeah
Tony Abbott is a **** face
A **** face a **** face
Tony Abbott is a **** face
And I hate him oh yeah
You see tony will give me a drink which will be total poison
And when we complain
He will say **** the poor
Tony Abbott is a **** face
A **** face a **** face
Yeah he is a **** face
A real fucken **** face
betterdays Dec 2015
the stockings were hung
then unstrung
the gifts wrapped
then opened and scrapped

eyes open wide, at gifts given with pride
forgive us dear lord for the little white lies

I adore it, no it won't leave my side
Where can we find a place for,
this monstrosity to hide


The church bells were rung
the carols sung,
All the while thing of the traveling miles
for the holiday away in the summer sun

Dinner was baked bbqed and burped
Wine was drunk, now Uncle Albert
is dancing, just shy of naked
drunk as a skunk, Aunt Em in the throes
of the holiday funk....has declared her new teeth
have been sunk into the trilfle....of which she is
elbows in, having a rifle, through
Dad's mid nap, and we are counting down the seconds
between each snore, Mum still asking any one for any more pav
And Malcom has dissapeared to the lav

and this is the Christmas, that we have had,
and tho it sounds dorky....I am a wee bit glad....

Tommorow we box ourselves in the car
travelling, travelling o so far
and back to the bickering, backstabbing and fights
but we practise peace to all men at Christmas
as is our right....
but with da and his snoring,
we have no chance of a silent night.
bit of fun for Christmas......an amalgam of many Christmas's and family "doos"
and it was granpa who snored"like a wounded bull"  not dad....lol

“Can miles truly separate you from friends? If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?”
A very good evening to one and all present here. Today Im  here in front of all of you as we approach the end of our schooling days.
But i believe half of my job is already done here because its not me but our scribbled stories on our school benches that will dive us into this beautiful journey of nostalgia.
Although walls cant speak but the doodles on walls of our school bathroom can surely make us reminisce those malicious scenes of crimes we have done there.

Little did we know how quick ten years would pass by just like that.We have bloomed into  flowers from tiny little saplings in this orchard of childrens Academy. And in no time, us bunch of flowers will be unveiled in front of the whole world.
I still remember in flashes, the days of our pre primary section where we would yearn for that one cup of hot chocolate milk that would be served to us at least once a week. The same craving, in the primary section transformed into love for shezwan vada pav which still continues to be our favourite. Maturity then peaked and we entered secondary section to disrupt the whole world and win the worst class award right in the beginning of sixth std.
For me Children’s Academy is not just a school- but a journey that all of us have endured for these past ten years. Living every moment as If there was no end to it because that’s how it exactly felt like ! But today im realizing how wrong I was. It ends! The journey sure does- but the bonds and the friendship is never going to end. I wish someone had warned me that more than the people, it’s those moments that I will miss the most. Now, we will never be able to dance in front of our friends classroom and make them laugh during an on going lecture while we were on our way to the washroom. Now reena miss will never nag us for using the word “abbey”. Those menacing threats by Suddha Shetty miss to apply the canteen oil on our hair if by chance we showed up with washed dry hair to  school instead can never be relived. Now nikita miss will never  ask you about your missing id card and ask u to tuck in your shirt. Whom will we have psychology sessions with if not our bhagayshree miss.Whom will we wish suprabhat guruji to now? Who will leave us discombobulated with their flabbergasting vocab if not our beloved English teachers madhavi miss and  sen gupta miss?  not even paresha miss’ chemical reactions could beat our instant change in  our demeanour from a loud noisy fish market to an attentive obedient class when rohit sir or mallya maam would be on rounds.  Its hard to believe that no matter what we do, no one will replace the void of affection of our teachers in this emancipation. Its hard to believe that how all of these annoying rules that have  been playing in the background of our life will suddenly just cease to exist. Its hard to believe that the building of children’s academy that we visited everyday will no  longer even be a part of our life. Its hard to believe that now we wont see Vipin sir laughing at his own jokes before we all start laughing… just by watching each other laugh.
The cherished and hallowed corridors of Children’s Academy will become our Alma Mater that one day will surely be revisted by us to share the pride of our collective success, one day. These golden memories and the fact mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell will never be forgotten by us. And for that I can’t thank bhakti miss and simi miss enough!

And lastly to end my speech i wish to quote no one. I wish to end my speech just by singing the first  two lines of our school song. Lets chime in for the last and final time and sing it in our heads.
“ the bells of our school, ring out far and wide
Their chimes make our childhood so happy and bright!”
All I want for Christmas is a big cute smile that makes me feel
So very great
You see I want for Christmas
Is a big cute smile
To have fun every day and night
You see at Christmas I will party on yeah party ok
With alcohol and softies
And my teeth become rotten
Like times I have forgotten
You see with Christmas it is so fun everybody can get drunk
And we say to each other
That Christmas is a time to be happy
Party with bourbon and *****
As well as a big beautiful drink of lemonade and port
You see drinking a nice Coca Cola really brightens up your day the red and white is santa
Coming through your computer and all
Then your father wants a vb beer as well as a pav and a spiked fruit punch
** ** ** as he pretends to be santa saying merry Christmas to us all
Yeah then he drinks his beer and a nice Christmas cake
To try and show us that santa ain't a fake
Khushi tiwari Sep 2020
Life too a sharp turn
Causing our jungle of dreams to burn
We made so many plans
To witness, in our class,  live Clash of clans
Zoomed in on gossips and zoomed out for a tour of building we have been seeing for last 14 years
Soon the time will come to bid adieu with eyes full of tears
One hundredth piece of chocolate gave us unworldly pleasures
Oh-those-sweet reminisce are etched in our hearts as priceless treasures
Gobbling a pav bhaji filled tiffin with one fourth of each one's share is now a distant memory
Pulling out all stops to get one pattis and samosa was our definition of bravery
Aamchaska and chatarmatar had power to drive out our blues
Trend of lollipops became a strict no-no on the list of don'ts and do's
Bhelpuri, ice cream,  chanajor garam or chuski
All the uncles had different fan base
Our sweet request for extra chutney or cola ice stick
How they fulfilled them all always left us amazed
Morning gossip monger
Isn't a reality any longer
Decorating the black board with fresh pieces of chalks
That mirth was,  Jesus knows what
Fighting over duster with other classes
This year we missed out on all those chances
We made noise,  were shut by teachers
What's app group chats are silent, all thanks to some invisible creatures
" Learn rules like a pro, break them like an artist "
Our 'action plan' was more of a drawing made by caricaturist
Morning assemblies were a snoozefest
Afternoon next-day holiday announcements filled us with new zest
Board decorations or teacher's day preparation
Everyone's train ran on different tracks never arrived at single station
Christmas celebrations or children's day fetes
We oozed oomph in our new dresses
Out of nowhere,  we could see our dreams of living last year of school waver
Every night we sleep with what-the-hell-is-this-wetness tear
Never expected that Guy upstairs to be a scrooge
He snatched our happiness making us his offset stooge
"No still lakes but life demands waterfalls "
Our school journey is a perfect example of it
It is hear , mercurial highs and abysmal lows, did we hit
Myriad of emotions gushing through while I write
It's a miracle how black boards made our lives bright
This school was like our nest
Where little babies were nurtured with the best
Soon we will fly out like free birds up in the sky
No farewells for us please,  we will never say our school a goodbye 😘

Tuned to Nonsense

Tuning your ears to nonsense clear,
Tripling your gut’s instinctual fear,
Reworking all your critical mind,
You’ll find the Judas in the heroic kind.

Easiest of all—Pav Morozov,
From others, vile threats often shove:
"Sort the Pantheon—take your claim,
Place them all where none’s the same."



---------------------



Worship of the Horned One

Our Masha cries so loud and clear—
They lied to her about good cheer.
Treachery’s the key to rise,
For the horned one rules the skies.

Hush now, Masha, don’t you weep,
You’ll earn your bread, your gold to keep.
And serve him well, the one you bow—
Just bend and break beneath him now.



---------------------



Darkness is gunpowder,
Lies are the fuse.
Tolerate Moloch? —
You’ve got nothing to lose!..



---------------------



The Distant Journey

The plague of words
From traitor swine
Calls the fools
To the Land of Lies, malign.

Now the guide is just a pawn,
Sent by the beasts—lost and gone.



---------------------



No More Thoughts

When there’s no more thought to ponder,
Only REACTIONS rise in you,
Put on your coat, your gear, and wander,
And heed the trumpet’s call anew.

"Enemies" will soon be found,
The more the fools, the better still.
Once they hid in holes, "unbound"—
Now in trenches, slaves they fill.




---------------------



Mindless Rot

The fools have made themselves at home,
And called their cesspit "parliament."
No brains — just guts and empty foam,
Their “laws” make zero, dumbfound sense.

They chant and chew, no thoughts to share —
Just mouths to feed and slogans loud.
Yet media dreams fill the air:
"Joy for all! No pain allowed!"



---------------------



The Building of Communism

"Make ploughshares out of every sword!" —
The fiends cried out to every fool.
Then from those ploughs rose no accord —
Just vanished lives and ruthless rule.



---------------------



So-Called “Russophobia,” or The Instinct of Self-Preservation

“Russophobia” — they claim —
Is just blind hate, without a cause.
But it’s defense from spreading shame,
From cargo-darkness, war, and laws.

They say it “lights up minds” with fire —
But does it light… or just incinerate?
A “Russophobe” is no denier —
Just keen to seal no fascist fate.



---------------------



The zombie-box will always win
Against the fridge — it works within.
It feeds with visions of delight,
And fattens herds without a fight.

They swell with pride and happy cheers
For “righteous paths” and hollow years.
Such are the traits, so plain to see,
Of modern propaganda — baaa from me!



---------------------



The scaffold doesn't trust your tears...

Indifference, fear, and endless lies,
Submission, death, and fading skies.
If born upon the scaffold’s rise,
Forget the cries, the weak disguise.

Make fury the salt of your life,
And battle all the World’s great strife.
At last, with blood, your mark inscribe —
A signature: you won’t be snuffed alive.



---------------------



The Goose World

— Gadget! Gadget!
— Ga-ga-ga!
— Will it tell you lies?
— Yes-yes-yes!
— You can't fly with it, you see!
— Food, distraction, beasts — that's key,
And no need for Heights, just glee!



---------------------



Burrows

Arguments over food and space,
In the real world, we find our place.
But on the cover, looking grand —
A city rises, far from sand.



---------------------



The Beastly Mantra

"What can I do?!" — the mantra calls,
A chant from beasts behind their walls.
The inhumans, clever, play their part,
Replacing chains with lies at heart.

Together, they’ll spread falsehood wide,
And with our song, the truth will hide.
Our anthem’s done, the crowd’s insane —
By the majority, we’re bound in chains.



---------------------



Stuck Minds and Years of Running

A wedge won’t clear the mind's decay,
It only makes it worse each day.
Therapy won’t help the pain —
The shrinks are dull, it’s all in vain:
It’s not about health, but wealth,
Their aim’s to line their pockets stealth.
Running helps — though not always right —
You’ll need to run for years, not night.



---------------------



Ice for Bruises

Running like snow that blankets ground,
It hides the wounds that still are bound
In hearts, offering a cooling touch —
Only to cold, the wounds clutch.



---------------------



Burn! And burn without a trace—
That’s what became of many "grace."
All that's left is the stench of lies,
A filthy soul that never dies.



---------------------



God could not restrain the UGLY —
Now it's us who face the struggle.
Strength is fading, hope is thin,
And the minds grow dark within.



---------------------



Every century, every season,
Fools increase — and lose all reason.
No tomorrow, no clear way —
Just mad minds that go astray.



---------------------



They cure all lack of cash with money,
And sickness too — it isn’t funny.
Soon minds will get their safeguards done
With crypto sums in banks — well spun.



---------------------



The price of junk keeps climbing higher —
The world’s become a global mart.
While Conscience fades, its voice grows dire —
Cash is the god in every heart.



---------------------



They’re clearing out old myths and notions,
Like forests burned for cultured seeds —
The Devil’s lab-grown dark devotions,
Designed to serve his hidden needs.

And soon, not only food is tainted —
The mind itself is modified.
A “brave new world” will be acquainted
With thought suppressed, and Evil — dignified.



---------------------



Our Masha cries out loud and long,
For as we go, it all goes wrong —
The fascist state grows more insane,
And women die, the blood, the pain.

Why bear a child in hell’s own name?
Men have degenerated, lost their aim.
No future left, no way to save —
Just standing at the edge, the grave.



---------------------



Our Masha cries out loud and clear:
"What will we leave for those who’re near?
Decay, deceit, and endless fears...
Shall we call our hospitals ‘Gears’?"



---------------------



The minds have lost their way, it seems,
And books of wisdom fade from dreams.
A wedge won't cure what’s torn apart —
Few books remain to heal the heart.



---------------------



A quarter of the songs are sung,
The "choir’s line" is tightly strung.
Strangers can’t break through the sound —
Many fall, lost and unwound.
The "choir" here — propaganda’s crew,
A separate gang, with aims askew.
What’s unsung? It doesn’t fit —
The beastly goals, they won’t admit.



---------------------



In forest depths, where lies have strayed,
And weary from the chaos made,
Rest now — it’s far, far better still
Than thrashing 'midst the filth and ill.
