Today I began my self-styled ONE KATORI program. [ Armaan calls it a KATORETI ]
What I’d intended was that from today for an indeterminate period, I would eat 3, preferably low-fat meals in a day, each not exceeding a quantum of one katori.
Breakfast went off fine with one katori of vermicelli upma. [ Armaan calls it OOMPA ].
At lunch time I reached for a plate at first, and as my program flashed thru my mind I didn’t want to slacken so fast; so I placed a bowl on top of that, and proceeded to fill it with dal and rice. But then there was mushroom with peas, and roti.
I was ok with letting mix the rice and dal in the bowl, but the roti presented some serious problems in containment as well as in not getting it soggy, yet staying within my one katori definition.
So I let it go for now, thinking to myself that I MUST NOT start getting all neurotic about it. After all, I’m a mature and responsible adult & capable of self-regulation.
So I took half a spoon of mushroom-peas and a roti [ yummy ], halfway thru I realized that this would leave me unfulfilled, so I got another serving and another roti.
This was followed by the katori of dal rice.
And then a katori of ice-cream ...........with chocolate sauce to boot !!
Its ok I thought, considering most of the food came in katoris. [ a convenient solipsism ]
All went fine with my internal moral system, until it was snack time at 1745 hrs and the mini pizzas came around. Not only did I have mine, I ate my colleague’s as well !!
[ neither fitted in a katori ]
I’m not sure how dinner will go, but I’m staying positive…….

Based on how I see this going, Armaan is the most sensible guy to call it KATORETI, as it no way is a Katori program eventually. KATORETI anyway gives it an Italian touch, wherein every meal is a celebration.
Keep on Katoreting
Good goingKevin,
I didnt think that one katori would help.
I am going and getting muself a tub and guess what they call it - a katori.
Kevubhai,
I am not sure what happened to your ONE KATORI PROGRAM, but I am pretty sure that you have a great canteen in your office.
Cheers

indian born in canada he's a comedian and takes the mickey out of
different nationalities he's s'posed to be coming downunder to perform.
have fun and be good.
cheers genny
Hey !! What's the latest update on this front?
I hope u r sticking to the Katori formula (wouldn't be surprised if u
have
decided to double/ triple the size of a "katori"......which technically
should now be called a "handi") :-)
One katori in principle is right if you can stick with the program! :)
