Closer to fine - PhD comics

This Tajel's audio - http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/media/phd1.mp3 made my day. It's funny for a person in recluse burried in books!

Self surrender is self knowledge

I found the video on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNXM4Sq-GIA good. The reason why always admired Ramana is because he was silent most of the times, shared the same interest that I do like reading comic strips , cooking :P and being lazy . I am not implying that a new ramana is in making ;)

Smart weight Loss

I am engrossed in researching on articles which enable weight loss with minimal physical excertion :P. My innate quality of being lethargic has led me to explore some of the smart possibilities.

I have got myself started on Green Tea and 2-3 Mile Long runs to keep myself fit and fine. I drink 2-3 servings of Green Tea about 250ml a day and I can attest for the efficacy of the tea. Green Tea is supposed to aid in thermogenesis which promotes fat oxidation - Reference below for your perusal - http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/6/1040. Apart from the weight reduction , It is supposed to balance the HDL- LDL cholesterol levels, prevention of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis and serves as an immunity booster!

Mystique of Permanence

" The demand for permanence -- permanent relationships, permanent happiness, and permanent bliss -- in any field and in any area of human existence is the cause of human misery. There is nothing to permanence." - U. G Krishnamurti

Memorabilia : Solar Energy and Underpriviledged Kids

Yishun Apr, 2007 Singapore

The car park at Agilent, Yishun was transformed into a mini race course for solar powered cars for the annual science-in-a-box program.

This is a demonstration of Solar Energy for cars and How to make solar cars to Underprivileged kids of Singapore from the broken family's and physical disability.

I really wonder how many take out time to get the kids think and make them technologically aware though small experiments , make 'em happy ?

80 children from Yishun Student Service Center and Beyond Social Services, beneficiaries of Community Chest and MILK (Mainly I Love Kids), attended the event. It was the first time they made a solar powered car and the experience was an enriching one for them.

Going with the flow

A friend of mine who was looking around for a gal to get married was so frustrated that he had gotten to think that there is something really wrong with him.He had not been able to hook up with a girl from 2 years and get a girl committed to the marriage . I was conversing with another friend about the complexity of marriage and its unpredictability.

He gave me a wonderful analogy and insights how thing work in life with an epiphany - Osmosis
Osmosis - Movement of water from one part of the membrane that has water to the part that has less and therefore it needs it thats how plants absorb water through their roots.the roots are more saline on the inside than the soil surrounding them two plants

Scenario 1 : Given two roots, one spot of the water - both roots at the same spot which one absorbs the water?
Ans: the one which is more saline...its need.... the one which needs it more gets it now

Scenario 2 : same two roots, same water spot... but now one root is closer than the other
Ans: one which is closer, which cared to act and grow towards the water gets its water

The catch is...
Life is like that if the root did not grow towards the water, It gets no water even if it did if something else needs it more it gets no water

Should it stop growing? no.... but should it always expect the water when it reaches there?
no ..... the one who needs it and the one who tries get it.... thats is natures law.... and that is gods law of determining results of actions,

Probably based on the need and Laws of Nature things are bound to work and we need to go with the flow unmasking our blind spots
