Eat Smart This Monsoon
Monsoons are a time of music, poetry and especially food. There is something in this weather that makes us want to sample spicy and exotic food. But the most important and easily overlooked aspect of this season is hygiene. Ever got bugged with your mother for asking you to wash your hands too many times during the rains? Tiring as it may be, it is one of the most important things to remember.
Our craving for exotic food during the rains is not limited to cooking in our kitchens. Ever been tempted to order a plate of bhajiyas from the stall down the street? Or a plate of Momo’s from the Chinese cart in the market? Most of us have given in to this temptation many times but this year CTF and GITS have taken an oath to promote good hygiene and safe food.
This Monsoon we are running a campaign which will promote the importance of food hygiene and the advantages of home cooked food over take-aways. Check out our site for various articles and photographs on “eating right” this monsoon.
This month you too have a chance to contribute to our cause. Got any candid pictures that depict the importance of home-cooked food or the side effects of take-aways? Well then waste no time and send us in your pictures, videos, blog posts, etc. at online@gitsfood.com.
So this year, be safe and eat safe during the rains. And if you get a craving for some good food then check out our site for various quick, easy and tasty recipes to try out this season.

Get the cheapest mobile interest
If you already have some limited mobile internet plan then now is the right time to get rid of it. Buy yourself an unlimited browsing plan and stay glued to twitter all day. Keep tweeting about what you eat, what you want to eat etc etc, just don’t forget the #cutthefuss 
. Oh yeah make sure you have a buddy with you every time you step out of the house, lest you walk into a bus because you are tweeting about CutTheFuss
Hire a night tweeter
Got a friend who owes you big-time for hitting on your girlfriend or stealing your science project? Well now is a good time for some productive revenge. While you can tweet all day, you can recruit your friend to do the over-night tweeting ensuring you get the most number of tweets thus ensuring a greater chance at our lucky draw.

Alternate tweeting
Don’t actually tweet….Just come to our office and whisper your tweets in all the employees ears. Eventually we are going to get pissed off and give you the phone just to shut you up. P.S: I will let you figure out the address and make sure you size up the security guys before you go in. You do not want to take on Hulk Hogan.
Pick up a Fight
It will give you enough reasons to feel fussy and flustered. Of course you should then use your newly acquired cheap mobile internet plan to tweet about the fight and the fuss that follows. Don’t be a stupid brave man and pick a real fight, just fight with your partner or your parents, for the highly ambitious I would suggest a senior co-worker as well, but I don’t know if the Corby would be worth the harassment that follows. It will certainly give you enough reasons to tweet with #cutthefuss till the end of the month though!
Watch all Kings 11 Matches
Follow that by listening to Shah Rukh’s press interviews after every KKR loss. Such shoddy cricket will elicit the fussiest of emotions from you. Feed them to Twitter as they come by and the Corby will soon be yours.

Travel Without Fuss
Love to go on camps, treks, back-packing or simply adventurous by nature??? In this section, we will be suggesting places that you can go to, things to carry, do’s & don’t, etc
Travel without fuss is your ultimate travel guide, just that it won’t be as boring as others and that we’d speak only of ways to make travel easy. We have seen people take more stress planning for a vacation than their work. And if a business travel is in the offing for the boss the whole workplace goes into labour pangs.
We like to see the lighter side of it though and believe travel should be a stress buster than stress maker. So if you’re looking for good places to go to, know more about travel preparations and more importantly laugh at other traveller guffaws, come to cutthefuss.com and head straight to the Travel Without Fuss section.
Here again, your experience is vital and important..there is only so much we can talk after all. So pop in your questions, share your travel experience and a lot more other stuff. Just use the contact form on the contact page (where else!) to draw our attention!
Stories and Interviews – Cut the Fuss Style
This is perhaps the fun-most section in the whole website. For it is all about you. Every week or somewhere close to that we would bring up an interview or a story of one among you.
We would share chronicles of cutting the fuss as a student, as a professional, as a young wife perhaps, or as someone who tried to cook for his mom..anyone as long as you have something interesting to share. Cutting the fuss is all about sharing and being independent..on your own sort of. And what better way to celebrate independence than by sharing it.
So look out for us as we come your way and we hope you’d keep the gates open for us (or our emails ).
