The Ass Size: Washington,DC, Virginia, and Maryland VS. Alicante, Paris, and London


Literally, every chair in the cafes across the EU has a nice comfortable thin cushion to sit on. At least those in London,Paris, and Alicante where I regularly travel to.

I rarely see cushion on any chairs in our cafes in the Washington, DC area. They all come with flat hard wood or metal chairs. I have always been wondering about it till now as I’m watching everyone’s ASS in Starbucks, Dupont Circle waiting for my meeting: Read more of this post

Cancer: One Of The Best Thing Ever Happened To Me

What you are about to read is all the advice I’ve been ignoring from the loved ones around me for the past 15 years. Wearing my engineering hat, I’ve added some additional information that I have recently learned. I did my best to make the connection between stress, diet, attitude, the cells in our body, yoga, meditation, and cancer. The article is based on my own battle with cancer, feedback from several oncologists, hematologists, and nutritionists from various countries and meeting other cancer patients ranging in age from 16 to 60. YES! 16 years old girl! Cancer these days has nothing to do with age. So, I hope you are not a moron like me and that at least a some of you will listen to the tips here and change your diet.

As a serial entrepreneur who recently beat cancer and been following the story of some other entrepreneurs including Steve Jobs who unfortunately lost his life to cancer,  Amit Gupta who is currently battling Leukemia, and a few other close and young friends who also lost their life to various type of cancers including a very dear friend just last week,   I found it necessary to blog about my case. I hope the story of my life saves the lives of others and that it is a wakeup call for all of you. Read more of this post

Alternative Ways to Avoid or Fight Cancer besides Chemo

I received the information below from a friend who received it via a Newsletter from Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Although, there has been quite number of health related scam emails floating around the Web, but I found the information here accurately right along the line with what I have been learning from other legitimate sources (including from doctor friends, family members, and this article from 2003 – story of Fred Travalena, one of the master comedian/impressionists)

Why did I decide to post it on my blog? Because it contains great information for all of us including those who are currently fighting cancer. The article also goes through such level of details compare to anything else I have read.  Even if you think the information might be a scam, I strongly encourage you do your homework on this and follow these simple rules.

Think about it… pharmaceutical and medicine are such a lucrative industry.  So, I doubt they will  support any of the information below. Otherwise how else would they continue selling their medicines and practice to us?  In a nut shell, the article discusses vegetables, fruits, and other good stuff  vs. Bad stuff like Red meat and what they do with the cancer cells in our body.

Research Reveals the Secrets Behind my Good Mood and Look

According to research from Iran’s Roozbeh Psychiatric Hospital at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, saffron, the reddish-gold strands—dried stigmas of Crocus sativus—may have a role in relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and depression.

Shahin Akhondzadeh, Ph.D., and his colleagues gave 50 women with PMS two (15 mg) saffron capsules or placebo capsules daily over two menstrual cycles, keeping track of their symptoms in diaries. By the end of the study, over three-quarters of the women who had taken the equivalent of a micropinch of saffron reported that their PMS symptoms (such as mood swings and depression) declined by at least half, compared with only 8 percent of women in the placebo group.

HIV testing at the Washington DC DMV

The Fenty Administration announced Washington, DC is partnering with a non-profit to offer free HIV testing at the DMV in Penn Branch – with participants receiving up to $15 to help defray DMV costs.

The year-long project would be another way to reach residents in a city where a 2008 epidemiology update concluded 3 percent of the population had tested positive for HIV/AIDS. That is well above the 1 percent considered to be a general epidemic, advocates for prevention and city officials said.

But the program takes two other unusual steps: It offers up to $15 to help offset the costs of DMV services and provides immediate counseling as well as medical attention. Based on traffic at the Penn Branch DMV and human behavior in other free testing programs, organizers expect to test about 3,000 people annually, roughly 15 percent of the customers at the DMV location. Rapid oral test results at the DMV office will be available in 20 minutes. Read more of this post
