No few candles to glow

No new cracker to blow

Heart’s filled with goodness and peace

Bringing smile on few people’s face

Seeing people happy to the surround

Enlightening the soul out-of-bound

It is believed the Goddess Ma Laxmi visits to them

Those who buy gold and decorate lavishly the room

I perceive God loves harmless and honest soul

! God showers blessing to them, as well !

sailing forlorn

Sailing out the dinghy

Presuming, knew the destiny

Now, no soar is visible

Un-ending journey to trail

Unsecured and fear in mind

Of a forlorn journey ahead

Endless and need to cover
Can be pleasant or stormy, but a due for the loner

 A dream, of feeling the goodness of the World

And to be loved, cared and so nurtured

Now, left out utterly abandoned

It might not be a dream, thus, its greed

Of moving around the best part of the World.
The dream was off beam, dishonorable greed!!

Feeling Personal

No! I have nothing to grouse

As, you are giving, more I deserve

If you are coming to me forever,

This moment not letting me know how I care

I wish everything to give you, spiritual and material

To make your surroundings brighten blissful

Nevertheless you know, I don’t have anything to give

Only I can adore you with my true love.

And, I don’t have much strength to tell you to go and settle

As if, I am longing for you for years, through my past life !

RUB YOUR TUMMY AWAY~~~~~~

You can rub your stomach away effortlessly using nothing but your hand -- for only 2 minutes a day ?

This may sound hard to believe, but Dr. Stephen Chang, an M.D. and Ph.D. who's trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, states that this simple 2-minute internal exercise, which does not come from Western medicine, but rather from the wisdom of ancient Chinese sages -- has been used successfully as a self-healing mechanism for over 6,000 years.

Whatever you do, don't confuse this internal exercise with the external exercises of the Western world, such as sit-ups, crunches and other movements that only firm up the underlying stomach muscles ... but do nothing to melt the fat surrounding those muscles.

According to Dr. Chang, losing weight is a simple matter of increasing the efficiency of the digestive system. If you've ever wondered why you fail to shed pounds even when you reduce your food and/or caloric intake -- the reason is because your digestive and eliminatory systems are not functioning efficiently.

The following 2-minute exercise works like a gentle colonic irrigation that helps speed up a sluggish digestive system (which usually carries at least 5 pounds of fecal matter within it), and this elimination of useless sludge has the effect of burning off excess fat. The exercise effectively metabolizes the fatty tissues around the stomach and intestines, and flushes them out of your body through blood, sweat, urine, and feces.

Here's how to do the stomach-rubbing exercise:

1) Lie flat on your back on your bed or on the floor. Take your top off or pull it up so that your
abdominal area is bare.

2) Rub your hands together vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until they feel hot.

3) Place one of your hands directly on your belly
button and begin to rub in small circles around
your belly button, and gradually make the circles
larger (as shown in the diagram). Use fairly firm
but comfortable pressure and rub at a slow, even
pace, approximately 1 circle per second.

4) Concentrate on the heat building up in, around
and throughout your stomach.

5) Do about 40 to 50 circles, or for an approximate
duration of 2 minutes or more.

Note: It is important to keep the abdominal area warm while doing the exercise, especially during winter months when even heated indoor air tends to be cool.

For best results, do this routine twice a day for 2 minutes -- first thing in the morning (before breakfast) and just before you go to bed. Most people see noticeable results within 1 week of consistent practice.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the stomach is the center of energy. Massaging the stomach in the manner described above therefore accomplishes more than just melting away adipose tissue (fat). It also ...

* stimulates the abdominal organs

* helps speed up slow digestion and remedies constipation

* increases blood circulation in the abdominal area

* helps heal indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and the adverse effects of overeating

~out of reach~

You wish the peace to deliver

And, you lay open only spasm to transfer

Yes! Peace is one and all’s desire

Seldom have you prompted to offer

First-rate tips are known to build up peace

How to bring serenity and achieve happiness

Yet, it seems out of reach and thus to forget

Veteran says, only death keeps our soul in rest

It’s the heaven, the only place divine,

Waiting for another day, well! Its fine

A story of HAPPINESS , SADNESS and KNOWLEDGE

A Story of Happiness,Sadness & Knowledge

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

* I heard this story, and I like to share with you. There is some philosophical thought in it.

IF THERE IS TIMIDITY,

THINK OF COURAGE AND SO ON.

WHEN COURAGE IS DEVELOPED,

FEAR VANISHES AWAY BY ITSELF.

How Sleep & Heart Attacks related

Are you sleeping enough?................as human beings need 7 hours of sleep.

If you are not getting enough sleep (7 hours), you are playing with fire, even if you have low stress.

• Short sleep duration (<5 or 5-6 hours) increased risk for high BP by 350% to 500% compared to those who slept longer than 6 hours per night. Paper published in 2009.As you know, high BP kills.

• Young people (25-49 years of age) are twice as likely to get high BP if they sleep less. Paper published in 2006.

• Individuals who slept less than 5 hours a night had a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks. Paper published in 1999.

•  Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-cRP), the strongest predictor of heart attacks. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stayed high!!

• Just one night of sleep loss increases very toxic substances in body such as Interleukin- 6 (IL-6), Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) and C-reactive protein (cRP). They increase risks of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis and heart disease. Paper published in 2004.
• Sleeping for <=5 hours per night leads to 39% increase in heart disease. Sleeping for <=6 hours per night leads to 18% increase in heart disease. Paper published in 2006.

~~Ideal Sleep~~

In brief, sleep is composed of two stages:

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and non-REM.

The former helps in mental consolidation while the latter helps in physical repair and rebuilding. During the night, you alternate between REM and non-REM stages 4-5 times.

The earlier part of sleep is mostly non-REM. During that period, your pituitary gland releases growth hormones that repair your body. The latter part of sleep is more and more REM type.

For you to be mentally alert during the day, the latter part of sleep is more important. No wonder when you wake up with an alarm clock after 5-6 hours of sleep, you are mentally irritable throughout the day (lack of REM sleep). And if you have slept for less than 5 hours, your body is in a complete physical mess (lack of non-REM sleep), you are tired throughout the day, moving like a zombie and your immunity is way down (I’ve been there, done that L)

• Finally, as long-distance runners, you need an hour of extra sleep to repair the running related damage.

If you want to know if you are getting adequate sleep, take Epworth Sleepiness Test below.

Interpretation: Score of 0-9 is considered normal while 10 and above abnormal.
