You've got, Grievance.

Imagine, if unfortunately, you got cheated by your internet service provider or you are not satisfied with the promised services by your DTH operator or you feel that the practices followed by your mobile service provider are unfair, what do you do?

Obviously, you would make a complaint with the involved company and ask for the valid compensation for the inconveniences caused. The company quickly agrees to the mistakes it made and would award the compensation to you immediately. You would again continue using the services and would live happily thereafter!

Yes, you exclaim to this kind of smooth and seamless execution delivered by problem rectification department of a private company or government controlled entity. In ideal world everything sorts out without you getting frustrated. Service sector in India is definitely improving by making sure we get (almost) world class services at our homes, in offices and (somewhat) at public places. Company officials, executives are trained to assure customers with some bluff or simply say 'No' if you ask for compensation and give some company policy crap. Its irritating to go through all this, wasting your time explaining, arguing with the company and at the end there is good chance that  you remain empty handed.

So, what could you possibly do to resolve you problem, the easiest and the first you think of - walk away from the company and warn your close ones about it. Quite possibly you might again end up getting same kind of treatment from some other company! and still no mental satisfaction. This needs to be stopped somewhere and you should be compensated for what you have suffered.

Who do you look up to in situations like this? The least expected - "Government of India" yes, you read it right, the government. At first you could be skeptical about this as I was too but, its worth a shot and nothing (more) to lose. The "Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances" has launched portal for "Public Grievance" which allows you raise your concerns, unfair practices, wrong doings etc. against any entity under a Department or Ministry.

You will have to fill a simple online form, describe your grievance (elaborate as much as possible, this avoids any confusion and, back and forth queries from the entity), attach documents (if any), submit the form. You will get the grievance registration details which you can use to track the status. Further the grievance gets assigned to the responsible department/ministry to action upon. It is then forwarded to the entity and believe me they WILL contact you in very short time (a month may be) because the grievance is sent by letter from the "Department of []/Ministry of[], Government of India". The entity will definitely try to dispose the matter at the earliest as this now has been lodged with the government and you could further extend your efforts with courts of law (you might not have to go to that level).

I have till date lodged few grievances on the portal and got 100% resolution, satisfaction within a short time.  

How to Lose Fat, Fast and the Easy Way!

Before you look down any further

The following post is based on my personal experiences. You should consult your physician before making any decision to follow the fat loss exercises mentioned here. Biological Information provided here is merely a compilation from different articles available on the humongous Internet. 

The Idea

As I remember it was a usual day of September, 2012 when I randomly decided to shed some weight from my chubby physique, which meant I will have to lose a lot of fat! So, I started to look for some good article about "How to lose fat?" and Google threw up 203,000,000 of them at me. I read bunch of these articles based on my gut feeling. Many of them had a long list of "Do's" and "Don'ts" which might be difficult to follow religiously if you are working full time. So, what do you do when reading doesn't help, you watch.

Have to start somewhere

Again, Google didn't waste any time to spit out 276,000,000 videos.Browsing through the videos, I came across something called as "High Intensity Interval Training" or "HIIT" (Hit) in short. Once, I was convinced (or rather decided to give it a try) that this type of exercise routine could help me lose the extra fat, I created a customized exercise routine.

The key is your heart

Your Heart, the very organ keeping you alive would also be the one help you burn fat, fast. Fat is the food for heart, more fat will be consumed (burned) when heart starts to do more work than usual. So, how do make your heart work out more? By doing cardio exercises which would make your heart rate increase to around 60-70% of your normal HR. There are many exercises that would help you do this, few are mentioned in this post.

Chasing the clock

No, you don't have to reschedule your appointments! At start you will have to perform the HIIT only for 2-4 minutes (simply, because you probably will not be able sustain) , then extend it by few more minutes in the workout routine as you progress. It is not recommended to perform HIIT for more than 20 minutes.

The Sacrifices

Not anything substantial, but you may have to cut down on your sucrose consumption a little. Have a fat free diet as much as possible. Most fruits have lot of sugar content so, should be consumed in limited quantity. Avoid fruit juices, colas, shakes etc. Fast food and fried food have heavy fat content, avoid as long as you can.

This could help

You could replace Cheese with Paneer in your food. Increase dietary fiber consumption. Drink lots of water. Consume water 20-40 minutes before meals and 90-120 minutes after, avoid drinking water during or right after the meals. Drinking Black tea (Tea without milk) and Green tea helps in accelerating fat burning process. Little increase in protein intake.

What needs to be done

Exercise in the morning. The exercises needs to be performed for very short period of time, to assist yourself get a repetitive countdown timer or if you have a smartphone, install software like 30/30. Drink some water at least 10 minutes before you start. All exercise timings are in "Seconds"!

• Russian Lunges - For 30 Secs - To warm up 

• Rest - 15 Secs - Best way is to Bend in your knees and stand pressing your back on a wall, this would make sure Lungs are not deformed while you are breathing heavily
• Mountain Climber - For 30 Secs - Get going now

• Rest - 15 Secs
• Burpees - For 30 Secs - This would be the most exhaustive part

• Rest - 15 Seconds
• Jump (Rope) - 30 Secs - You don't have to buy a Rope, just make sure you jump fast enough

• Rest - 15 Secs.

Repeat the above routine for one more time. You could increase the routine repetition by 2-3 time depending on how comfortable you are.
Perform this 2-3 days in a week, skipping 1-2 days in between.

Where are the results?

Patience, some of it will be required until you start seeing the effectiveness of this routine. You could keep a check on your weight and waist to see how you are doing. It would take around 8-10 weeks until your tummy  and chubbiness are barely noticeable.
You could start building muscles and workouts, halfway or after you are done saying goodbye to the fat.

The Result

I lost 11 Kg. of fat and 3 Inches of belly in 8 weeks.

Thought Pop!

Fear is what makes us feel alive, we are as good as dead without it.
