btw, reading Rifat's post on health consciousness (how are you Rifat, btw ?) reminds me. sometime back I decided to watch my calories. I realised that the typical bengali lunch of bhaat etc has many times the calories needed for our usually sedantary/semi-sedantary lifestyle.
while that amount was perfectly alright when we as a society were agrarian/rural, where every amenity was a mile's walk away if not more and many people had to work in the fields, the amount is absolutely ridiculous now.
