- About Me:
- I love hanging out with my friends, being out in the sun, listening to music, playing soccer, the drums, and travelling. I’ve been to Latin America, Southeast Asia, and all over India. I’m planning to volunteer in India for a year at some point.
I just graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Political Science. I’m at a point now where it seems that many doors are open, and I have to take my pick. I’m trying to pick the right path.
I was first introduced to raw food by my brother Rishi. I saw how it made him healthier and happier. After about half a year of convincing, I finally came around. I am still not a strict raw foodist like Rishi. My diet is mostly vegan and very high in raw foods. I make exceptions for my mom’s or my grandmother’s Indian cooking.
Raw food is an important concept in my life right now because to me it represents a truth that is separate from what I’ve been taught and told. I’ve solved several health problems by just eating raw food. These were problems that doctors said were incurable and would require me to take prescription medicine for the rest of my life. There is a flaw in conventional medicine—it treats problems. The focus of healthcare should instead be on preventing problems by enhancing wellness.
My brother Rishi and I just started a raw food blog where we share recipes and ideas about health, food, and the world. Please visit us.

Whats wrong with uglies? fatties need love too
In south beach I have seen that kind of stuff all over. in fact three couples were in the ocean making love to their boyfirneds when I was trying to have sex with mine. No privacy!
yeah, certain people you don't want to see fuck >
Aajonus doesn't look so healthy and doesn't make much sense here. The doctors seem really ignorant too.

I mix it with lime and eat it like that... I also like some mixed in my green lemonade (juiced kale, cucumber, apple, lemon).
And you still have a penny left!
Mmmm...I will join you.
Yes!
The breath, thank you,
without further ado, time for 31-minute kundalini pranayam on the lawn in the sun.
Thanks so much for this, wow!
Yogs
wow that is impressive.
Part 1: I have used Liquid Zeolites for detoxing lead from doing stained glass art for a few years and MSM for ease of movement in the joints. Both worked great.
Part 2: I have used-
Aged garlic extracts/ immune tonic and system cleanser
Anti-Par...
If someone wants to control everybody and I am allowing everyone to be free you mean?
I am sure there will be willing followers for whatever. Some people like to follow orders.
This has always been one of my healthier alternatives. However, usually our pizzas were done on French bread. Not the best healthy food mind you, but much better than restaurant pizzas!
AAHAHHAHA
AHAAHA well the book went to number one
I love her in Gentlemen prefer blondes

Is about de-calcifying the body that can give us stones, cysts, scars, hardening of the arteries.

dude, kudos to you for all the awesomeness you have put into the world! love the website and can't wait to try all the indian dishes. india is pretty much my spiritual home. i have a suggestion if you want to volunteer there, but it is a pretty small outfit and i'm not sure exactly what you are looking for www.sayyesnow.org. it's a home for destitute kids and orphans that i volunteered at a few years ago and recently went back to visit- i love that place!! check it out :) rishikesh is amazing as i'm sure you know.
my boy and i are going to be in the states next year from april to mid june before we head off to central and south america for some travel/ volunteer work- would love to meet up with you in san fran (we are definitely going there!) if you're around.
peace!
Great to know you would be coming here. Which city are you going to stay in?
Okies, as for staying raw here..... Well i dont find it difficult at all. But then I havent been anywhere else outside my city or west bengal really since turning raw. I bet it would be difficult anywhere where there would not be abundant supply of fresh produce.
So far I have loved being raw and loved every bit of it. But of course there are no raw restaurants here. at least i dont know any! Mumbai might have a couple. And I havent found raw chocolate or cacao in ageees. I once used to find raw cacao nibs at a wholefood center. but that time i wasnt even raw and now that i am, they are nowhere to found!
Do let me know where and when you are coming!
I can see how hard it is to give up our mum's or grandmother's cooked food!! haahaa!!!
Glad to meet a raw Indian!!!
It's about eating foods to which we are biologically designed to eat.
One concept in the book is the concept of whole foods. Whole foods are ALWAYS more nutritions than their refined counterparts.
-Oils are not whole foods
-Juices are not whole foods
-Dehydrated foods are not whole foods
-Whole food supplements are not whole foods (the name is kind of funny when you think about it LOL)
So, if a person is consuming any of the above products, then it is important for them to be aware that they are making a compromise and would be better off eating the whole foods that the refined food came from.
Make sense?
