thanda matlab Coca Cola



I've been drinking cola in the gallons, since a month. Blame it on the job treats. And its not like i can help it. Consider this...
You are on a boat with your entire class. The music is top notch. There's dance and booze everywhere. In short, its a bacardi ad come alive. You do not drink alcohol. What do u do? You end up drinking cola instead. So why should that worry anyone, you might ask. I wasnt worried either, till recently. And then one day wikipedia scared the living hell outta me.

"...regular soft drink users have a lower intake of calcium (which can contribute to osteoporosis), magnesium, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin...".

That I am actually jobless enough to look up coca-cola on wikipedia is a totally different issue and is material for another blog entry. Now I am not sure of the exact consequences of missing ne of this nutrient stuff. But i am missing something and that cant be very nice. And to add to all this, the only tests which ever gave coke a clean chit with respect to acidity levels were apparently conducted by an organisation which took a grant of $1m from Coke to conduct educational research.
Anyway, on that particular treat i figured a way out. I began gulping down cartons and more cartons of Amul Masti, aka good old butter milk. Yeah, I am sure it sounds stupid. But what do u know. You arent the one losing all the magnesium, calcium and any other stuff that is not meant to be lost. Now to make sure that Amul masti is on the menu for every treat. Else its gonna be more and more of that godawful cola down my throat.
