I had earlier written in my blog about Mr Imthiaz Rafiq, the core programmer of Flip Media.(A Chat With the Core Programmer of Flip media
You might be waiting to read something about SEO.. But sorry.. tats not the matter here..last day I had a chat with him…
Ah ya before that take a look at this…. http://saiftvm.blogspot.com/2007/03/we-dont-smoke.html
The guy in red shirt is Imtiaz (I call him Imthi bhai)… hehe and the pic was actually edited by my fiance.. Imthi bhai just a cigaratte in his mouth..
But he is a chain smoker… had a chat with him last day about this…He smokes around 16- 17 cigs daily.. A cig per every 2 or 3 hours… I was rather shocked to hear this.
I asked him to reduce his smoking, and he was like “will do it when my wife says so”. This fellow Imthi bhai is Just Impossible.
We had a good argument on this. I was rather wondering why such educated, literate and intelligent people go for cigs to reduce their tension.
He says that he goes for a smoke when he gets bored up. Suggested him to have some fresh juice, tender cocunt or may be a coffee. He need smoke with coffee. huh!!!
Smokes gives him a kick and helps him to calm down and concentrate on solution it seems. It actually has a toxic effect on your body. Actually cigarette has nicotine which is a stimulant. It has an effect same as that of cocaine and heroin has on the nervous system. it elevates the levels of dopamine in the brain and thus gives pleasure and activeness which is very short lived.
You want to what he said “whether you smoke or not you will die one day.so you can smoke”.”for you spending on cig is waste. For me spending on Jewels is waste. ” Do you feel that was a right comparison? Jewel is an asset. Cigaratte is never an asset.
This was his another out of the way reasoning “sometime people have to be stupid to enjoy .If you question too much and reason out too much you cannot live your life.”
As I am biology student i told him another matter of fact that, smoking with time will make a person impotent and also increases the risk of having malformed offsprings. You wanna know what was his comment to that? ” Then the population of our country would have been half”.
But finally he came down from the debate. He knows it is bad. Actulaly every smoker knows it is bad to smoke. Smoking is just like buying illness.
But I have read some where that smoking changes the way the food tastes for a smoker and makes it less edible. Thus the smoker looses interest in food and looses weight. I have seen it true in many cases, by not in case of Imthi Bhai
