When you live in Delhi or some such city, there’s no such thing as having enough designer bags or doing enough diets. And till the time we are waiting to find a magic weight loss pill, the diet industry can never go out of business. Sometimes it is even hard to believe things I hear about the ‘quick fixes’. Once I met a friend at a party complaining about severe stomach cramps. After her dietary recall, what I learned was more shocking than the pink and bling on her. She was advised to drink baking soda everyday as party prep so that her tummy would not be bulging out in her Versace. The helplessness to fit in often calls for desperate measures, but there are no shortcuts in life, my friend, to fitness or success.
