This is simply not the advise but complete diet to live in.
V.Raghunathan
While many points are as per popular belief and practice like taking the stairs, being active, do what you like, plan etc the diet chart indicates a contra opinion.
Most people advise a heavy breakfast, moderate lunch and a small dinner.
One funny way of describing a diet habit is, "Eat breakfast like a King, share lunch with a friend and give dinner to your enemy!"
His style is just opposite !

1) Take the stairs and always carry your own stuff
Very sane and good advice.But we look for lifts even if going to 1st floor and in office look for a peon to carry our luggage.
This needs change in our context
2)Share what you know
Unfortunately many people keep info/knowledge to themselves to underscore their importance in organisation.
3) Plan ahead
Vital for success.
Realistic planning with full listing of pros and cons is vital.
4) It is wonderful to live long
Yes.
But plan finances,take good adequate health insurance
Many people do not plan finaces properly and have problems when they have financial problems and depend on children.
Never forget health insurance cover.
5)Do not be crazy for money
If all of us adopt this principle India will change
Half our problems arise because we want more money.
If I buy a Maruti, I start longing for a higher category care and our demands becomes unending.
Be satisfied and live contentedly.
Exercise on daily basis and be happy.
Be genuinely broadminded and forgiving in nature.
