  1. Cool...But Chennai-ites are going to find this remedy a bit difficult to follow...because there is no water and the swimming pools will be used as places to grow plants that don't need watering in summer, so how? :)

  2. Hey Hetal ...I know swimming worked for you big time. Its difficult for people to realize that swimming is such a miracle and tones your upper body. I've a strong feeling that till you reach 30, the body obeys us and accepts our torture.
    But beyond 30 is when it refuses to take any more and the marriage falls apart. So its very important that we start treating our body with with care !!! ...Just some proper food , exercise...
