Konark Sun Temple

Konark (or Konarak) is a small town in the state of Orissa, India, on the Bay of Bengal, sixty-five kilometres from Bhubaneswar.

Konark is the site of the 13th-century Sun Temple (also known as the Black Pagoda), built in black granite by King Narasimhadeva. The temple is one of the most important Brahman sanctuaries, and is a world heritage site. It takes the form of the chariot of Surya, the sun god, and is heavily decorated with stone carving. The temple is now partly in ruins, and a collection of its sculptures is housed in the Sun Temple Museum, which is run by the Archaeological Survey of India. The poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote of Konark: "here the language of stone surpasses the language of man". Konark is also home to an annual dance festival, held every December, devoted to classical Indian dance forms, including the traditional classical dance of Orissa, odissi.

Konark beach is a popular tourist destination, though the waters are deceptively calm. Its main attraction lies in its views of the temple.

Thoughts

Thoughts

Thoughts means ideas about anything. These thoughts are formed after a long experience, thinking, period of observation and pondering over that "anything". Although you can also form your own ideas about something, but the world may not listen to them, because of your lack of experience, immature thinking, and a short period of observation and pondering.

Sometimes it is not necessary to agree with these thoughts but to disagree with them you must be knowledgeable and experienced enough to contradict them.

How to read them: Go to one page and read only one or two thoughts, or a collection of thoughts on one topic. Try to understand them, try to think over them from several aspects; discuss them among your friends and your elders and collect their own ideas about it; read something about it if you can; until you are exhausted and decide its applicability in the life. If it is applicable, practice it and see its effects as how do you feel by practicing it. You cannot know its effects in a short period of time. So go on practicing until you have several experiences to discard it, otherwise there is no harm in practicing it.

In the meantime read other thoughts and go through the same process... You may do this on a weekly basis...

Some notes are given in red under some thoughts to explain them better.

Laddoo for Guests

One day Raam had five guests in late evening. Everybody had taken his dinner so no food was left. So Raam offered them only Laddoo. Raam called one guest and offered him some Laddoo. He ate some, and left some. Then Raam called the second guest and offered him the leftover Laddoo adding the same number of Laddoo to them. That guest also ate some and left some Laddoo.

Then Raam called the third guest. Again Raam added the same number of Laddoo to the leftover Laddoo and offered to the third guest. This guest also ate some and left some Laddoo. Then Raam called fourth guest and did the same as he did with others. He also ate some and left some. Raam again added the same number of Laddoo to the leftover Laddoo and offered to the fifth guest. He ate all the Laddoo and went to sleep.

How Many Chapaatiyaan?

One day Ram, Shyaam and Sundar went for a picnic. There Raam made Chapaatiyaan. When he finished making Chapaatiyaan, Shyaam and Sundar went to sleep. Raam divided the Chapaatiyaan in three equal parts, 1 remained so he gave it to a dog. He ate his share and kept the other two parts in a pot. He was tired, so he also went to sleep.

Now Shyaam woke up, he saw that Ram and Sunder were sleeping, so he distributed the Chapaatiyaan in three equal parts, 1 remained so he gave it to a dog. He ate his share and kept the other two parts in the same pot and went to sleep again.

Now Sunder woke up, he saw that Ram and Shyaam were sleeping, so he distributed the Chapaatiyaan in three equal parts, 1 remained so he gave it to a dog. He ate his share and kept the other two parts in the same pot and went to sleep again.

In the evening all woke up together, took out the Chapaatiyaan, distributed in three equal parts, 1 remained so gave it to a dog, and ate them all.

Now tell:
How many Chapaatiyaan Raam made?
How many Chapaatiyaan Ram, Shyaam and Sundar ate in total?

Game No 5:
How to Arrange Horses?

Raam had 32 horses. His servant used to tie them such that from every side Raam could count them 12. One day Shyaam came and asked Raam's servant to give him 4 horses for one day, promising him that he will return 8 horses instead of 4 horses. The servant said, "Raam counts his horses 12, from every side, every morning. I do not know how I will arrange them like this, if you have taken 4, and even afterwards when you have returned 8 horses. If you tell me the way, you may take 4 horses." Shyaam said, "No problem" and he told him the way to arrange them in such a way that from every side they could be counted as 12. HOW? Check on the Answers Page.

Mathematical Games 1/Answers 1

Answer to Game No 1: Calculate the addition of 1 to 10 numbers?

Add the first number and last number, Then multiply it with the half of the last number. For example:

addition of first and last number: 1 + 10 = 11
multiply by half of the last number: (1 + 10) x 10/2
so 11 x 5 = 55

Answer to Game No 2: Laddoo for Guests

These questions are solved from the end.

The 5th guest ate 16 Laddoo, it means the 4th guest left 8 Laddoo.
The 4th guest also ate 16 Laddoo, so it means that he was offered 16 + 8 = 24 Laddoo. He ate 16 and left 8.
Since the 4th guest received 24 Laddoo, it means the 3rd guest left 12 Laddoo. He was offered 12 + 16 = 28 Laddoo.
Since the 3rd guest received 28 Laddoo, it means the 2nd guest left 14 Laddo. So he ate 16 and left 12.
Since the 2nd guest left 14 Laddo, and we know that he ate 16 Laddoo, he was offered 30 Laddoo. It means the 1st guest left 15 Laddoo.
Now the 1st guest also ate 16 Laddoo, so he was offered 31 Laddoo. He ate 16 and left 15 Laddoo.

1st guest was offered 31 Laddoo, he ate 16, left 15
2nd guest was offered 15 + 15 = 30, he ate 16, left 14
3rd guest was offered 14 + 14 = 28, he ate 16, left 12
4th guest was offered 12 + 12 = 24, he ate 16, left 8
5th guest was served with 8 + 8 = 16, he ate all, and went to sleep.

Answer to Game No 3: Telling the Addition of 5 Lines of 5 Digits Each Without Adding Them

Tell your friends that you could tell them the addition of 5 lines of 5 digit numbers without adding them. The condition is that they could write first 3 lines but the last 2 lines you will write.

So ask your partner to write a number of 5 digits. Now you draw a horizontal line a bit below (leaving the space for other 4 lines) and write a number thus: Subtract 2 from that number (or from the last 2 digits) and write that number starting with 2.

Now ask him to write the other two lines of 5 digit numbers below the first one. Now it is your turn to write the last two lines. Write your first line thus, that the friend's 2nd line and your line add to 99999. In the same way you write your second line too making the addition of friend's 3rd line and yours as 99999. Now the addition of all these 5 lines will have the same addition as you wrote before. Example:

Ram's first number 34576
Ram's second number 65743
Ram's third number 45870
your second line 34256 (making 99999 adding second line
your third line 54129 (making 99999 adding third line
_________________________________
234574

In the same way you can add 7 lines, or 9 lines, or 11 lines. In 7 lines, subtract 3 and keep 3 before the addition. In 9 lines, subtract 4 and keep 4 before the addition. In 11 lines subtract 5, and keep 5 before the addition. Leaving the first line aside, your lines and your friend's line must be of equal number. And your lines must be the complementary lines to his making each line as 99999.

Answer to Game No 4

Law: Whatever number of people are involved in the game, multiply that number with the same number, same number of times, such as:
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

Now whatever number of people are there, subtract 1 from that number, and subtract the resultant from the above number
81 - (3 - 1 =) 2 = 79 Chapaatiyaan were made

Now keep dividing it among the number of people:

79 x 1/3 = 26 for Ram, 1 remaining for dog, 52 were kept
52 x 1/3 = 17 for Shyam, 1 remaining for dog, 34 were kept
34 x 1/3 = 11 for Sunder, 1 remaining for dog, 22 were kept
22 x 1/3 = 7 for each three, 1 remaining for dog.

Raam ate total Chapaatiyaan 26 + 7 = 33
Shyaam ate total Chapaatiyaan 17 + 7 = 24
Sundar ate total Chapaatiyaan 11 + 7 = 18
Dog got 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 Chapaatiyaan

Answer to Game No 5: How to Arrange Horses?

There were 32 horses which were standing like this:

4	4	4
4		4
4	4	4

Now remained 28 horses, they were arranged like this:

5	2	5
2		2
5	2	5

Then they were 36 horses, they were arranged like this:

3	6	3
6		6
3	6	3

Now Ram could count 12 horses from every side every time. So he could not know when the horses were taken away and when the horses were returned.

Gapp

Gapp Suno Bhai Gapp

Many people are good at telling things in a such a big way that even a fool can understand that he or she is telling lies. These talks in India are called "Gapp". An English equivalent word for it is 'gossip'. Although the listeners understand that it is not true, but still they listen to them, enjoy them and laugh at them. Some are of very low level and some of them are very sophisticated. Whosoever tells the "Gapp" is called "Gappee".

Here are some "Gapp":

Gapp 1:

One day two Gappee got together to tell their Gapp. One Gappee said, "My father had such a large barn that it could hold thousands of cattle."

Second man said, "This is nothing big. My father had such a tall wooden log that whenever he wanted, he would shake the clouds with it and got rains."

The first Gappee was surprised to know that. He asked, "But where would he keep his log?"

The second Gappee replied, "In your father's barn."

Gapp 2:

There was man who was a very big Gappee. Sometimes his Gapp was so unnatural that people had to tell him that he should speak the truth, not the Gapp. He had a friend also. One day the Gappee asked his friend to help him by controlling him to tell the Gapp in limits. The friend agreed, but he asked that how could he help him. The Gappee said, "When you think that I am going out of limits, just warn me by pricking me in my thigh so that nobody can notice it. And I will understand your hint." The friend said "Good" and they both went to a group of people to talk. The group was talking on many topics. People were telling their adventurous stories.

Now this Gappee couldn't resist. He started telling his own adventure. "Once I went for hunting a lion. I sat on a platform made on the trees, and waited for the lion to appear. Lion was so much scared of me that he did not appear until midnight. When he appeared, I saw that the lion was very big."

People knew that he was a very big Gappee, so one man asked to tease him, "How long it was?" Gappee said, "Oh! it must have been at least 50 yards long." The man again asked, "With tail or without tail?" This time Gappee replied, "I never measure the tail. It was 50 yards long without tail."

Now his friend thought, it was too much, and it was the time to warn him, so he secretly pricked him in his thigh. The Gappee understood the warning, so he said, "Maybe I said a bit high about it. It was 50 yards long with its tail." The friend thought this was still more than natural, so he pricked again in his thigh.

The Gappee understood that he was still out of limits, so he said, "Maybe it was not 50 yards long, but surely it was 30 yards long." His friend got restless, and thinking that he was still out of his limits, pricked again in his thigh. The Guppee reduced the lion's length to 20 yards. Again his friend warned him.

This time the Gappee got irritated and said to his friend, "Look! I have reduced its length a lot, now I cannot reduce it any more. After all it is a lion, not a rat."

Gapp 3:

During an International conference, three scientists, an American, a German, and an Indian were talking and bragging about the technological advances their respective countries have achieved in the field of medicine.

The American said, - "In Washington, there was a baby boy born without arms so we attached artificial arms on him. And now that he's grown up and he has become a professional boxer and a gold medallist in the Olympics!"

The German replied, - "That's nothing compared to what we have achieved. Back in Berlin, there was a baby girl born without legs so we attached a pair of artificial legs on her. Now she is a three-time Olympics marathon gold medallist!"

The Indian interjected, - "Is that all you have achieved, just gold medallists? In Patna, Bihar, we had a baby boy born without a HEAD! We attached a COCONUT and called him Laloo and now that he has grown up, he is the Chief Minister of Bihar!"

Lagta hai dar fareb bewafa se kabhi kabhi -2
Aisa na ho ke zakhm koyi phir naya mile -2
Ab tak to jo bhi dost mile bewafa mile

Dil ki ye aarzoo thi koyi dilruba mile

Kal tum juda huwe the jaha saath chhod kar
Hum aaj tak khade hain ussi dil ke mod par
Hum ko is intazaar ka kuchh to silaah mile
Dil ki ye aarzoo thi koyi dilruba mile
Ab tak to jo bhi dost mile, bewafa mile
Dekhen hamein naseeb se ab, apne kya mile

Ab tak to jo bhi dost mile, bewafa mile

झूर्रियां भगाने के घरेलू उपाय

अर्पिता तालुकदार

बढ्ती उम्र के साथ त्वचा पर पडने वाली झूर्रियों को विलकुल तो नही रोका जा सकता लेकिन त्वचा की देखबाल द्धारा झूर्रियों पडने की रफ्तार को कम किया जा सकता है। त्वचा से झूर्रियों को दूर करके त्वचा को आकर्षक बनाया जा सकता है। निम्‍न उपचारों द्धारा त्चचा से झूर्रियों को हटाया जा कम किया जा सकता है-

पका पपीता काट कर चेहरे पर मलें १५-२० मिनट बाद चेहरा धो लें। इस प्रयोग को लगातार कुछ दिनो तक करने से त्वचा की झूर्रियों दूर होती है।
विटामिन-ई से झूर्रियां मिटती है। अंकुरित दाम व मूंग मे विटामिन-ई प्रचुर मात्रा मे होता है। सुबह शाम अंकुरित आनाज के सेवन से झूर्रियों से बचाव होता है।
आधा चम्मच दूध की मलाई मे निबूं के रस की ४-५ बूंदे मिला कर रात मे सोते समय झूर्रियों वाली त्वचा पर अच्छी तरह मलें ताकि वह त्चचा मे पूरी तरह रम जाए। आधे घंटे वाद त्चचा को धो लें। लगातार १५-२० दिन तक प्रयोग करने से चेहरे की झूर्रियां दूर होती है।
कच्‍चे दूध मे रुइ का फाहा भिगोकर चेहरे, गर्दन, हाथों के त्चचा पर ५-१० बार धीरे धीरे मलें । १०-१५ मिनट के बाद त्वचा ठंडे पाने से धो लें। निरंतर इस प्रयोग से चेहरे की झूर्रियों दूर हो कर चेहरा स्‍निग्ध व कमनीय बन जाता है।
स्‍नान करने के बाद जैतून के तेल से त्चचा की मालिश करें। उंगलियों के पोरो को तेल मे डुबाकर झूर्रियों के विपरित दिशा मे मालिश करने से त्वचा की झूर्रियों दूर होती है।
गुनगुने पानी मे थोडा सा बेसन को घोल कर पेस्ट सा बना लें, इसे चेहरे के त्चचा पर मल कर त्चचा साफ कर लें । अब एक चम्मच शहद नीचे से उपर की तरफ लगाए। आधे घंटे बाद चेहरे व शहद लगे अन्य भागों को धो दें। यह प्रयोग लगातार ६-७ सप्‍ताह करते रहने से बढती उम्र के कारण उत्पन्न झूर्रियों दूर होती है।

पति-पत्‍नी दोनो का जीवन एक सिक्के के दो पहलू है दोनो मे अभिंन्ता है, एक्य है। दाम्पत्य जीवन स्त्री पुरुष की अन्‍नयता का गठबंधन है । अत: किसी प्रकार का दुराव, छिपाव, दिखावा, बनावटी व्यवहार और परस्पर अविश्‍वास, एक दुसरे के प्रति घृणा को जन्म देता हैऔर इसी से दाम्पत्य जीवन नष्ट-भ्रष्‍ट हो जाता है।

पति-पत्‍नी दोनो अपने मानसिक क्षेत्र में बहुत बडा एक कुटुम्ब होते हैं। अपनी मानसिक अवश्‍यकताओ के आधार पर पति-पत्‍नी से ही विभिन्‍न समय से सलाहकार की तरह मंत्री की सी योग्यता भोजन करते समय मां की वात्सलयता, आत्म सेवा के लिए आज्ञापालक नौकर, जीवन पथ मे एक अभिन्‍न मित्र, गृहणी, रमणी आदि, अकांक्षा रखता है। इसी तरह पत्‍नी भी पति से जीवन निर्वाह के क्षेत्र मे मां-बाप, दुख-दर्द मे अभिन्‍न साथी, कल्याण और उन्‍नति के लिए सदगुरु, कामनाओ की तृप्ति के लिए भरतार, सुरक्षा संरक्षण के लिए भाई आदि, के कर्त्वयपूर्ति की आशा रखती है। जब परस्पर इन मानसिक अवश्‍यकताओ की पूर्ति नही होती, तो एक दुसरे मे असंतोष की भावना उत्पन हो जाता है ।

एक दुसरे की भावनाओ का ध्यान रखते हुए, एक दुसरे की योग्यता वृर्द्धि खासकर पुरुषो द्धारा स्त्रियों के ज्ञानवर्धन मे योग देकर परस्पर क्षमाशीलता, उदारता, सहिष्णुता अभिन्‍ता, एकदुसरे के प्रति मानसिक तृप्ती करते हुए दाम्पत्य जीवन् को सुखी, समृद्ध बनाया जा सकता है।

इसके लिए पुरुषों को अधिक प्रयत्‍न करना अवश्यक है । वे अपने प्रयत्‍न व व्यवहार से गृहस्थ जीवन की कायापलट कर सकते है। अपने सधार के साथ ही स्त्रियों की शिक्षा-दिक्षा, ज्ञानवर्धन, उन के कल्याण के लिए हार्दिक प्रयत्‍न करके दाम्पत्य जीवन को सफल बनाया जा सकता है । धैर्य और विवेक के साथ एक दुसरे को समझते हुए अपने स्वभाव, व्यवहार मे परिवर्तन करके ही दाम्पत्य जीवन को सुख-शान्तिपूर्ण बनाया जा सकता है ।

पति-पत्‍नी की परस्पर आलोचना दाम्पत्य जीवन के मधुर संबंधो मे खटास पैदा कर देती है। इससे एक दुसरे की आत्मीयता, प्रेम, स्‍नेहमय आकर्षण समाप्त हो जातें है। कई अपनी स्त्री की बात बात पर आलोचना करते हैं। उनके भोजन बनाने, रहन-सहन, बोलचाल, आदि तक मे नुक्ताचीनी करते हैं इससे स्‍त्रियो पर प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पडता है। पति की उपस्थिति उन्हे बोझ सी लगती है और वे उन्हे उपेक्षा तक करने लगती है।

स्‍त्रियां सदेब चाहती है कि उन का पति उनके काम, रहन-सहन, आदि की प्रशंसा करें। वस्तुत: पति के मुँह से निकला हुआ प्रशंसा का एक शब्द प‍त्‍नी को वह प्रसन्‍नता प्रदान करता है जो किसी बाह्य साधन, वस्तु से उपल्बध नही हो सकती। दाम्पत्य जीवन मे जो परस्पर प्रशंसा करते नही थकते, वे सुखी, संतुष्‍ट व प्रसन्‍न रहते है।

जिन स्त्रियो को पति की कटु आलोचना सुननी पड्ती है, वे सदैव यह चाहती है कि कब वहां से हटे और पति की अनुपस्थिति मे वे अन्य माध्मो से अपने दबे हुए भावो की तृप्‍ति करती है। सखियों से तरह तरह के गप्पे लडाती है, तरह- तरह के श्रिंगार करके बाज़ार मे निकलती है और यहां तक कि पर-पुरुषो के प्रशंसापात्र बन कर अपने भावों को पृप्‍त करने का भी प्रयत्‍न करती है । जो प्रेम व प्रशंसा उन्हे उन के पति से मिलना चाहती थी, वह उन्हे अन्यत्र ढूढने का प्रयत्‍न करती है । कई स्त्रीयां मानसिक रोगो से ग्रस्त हो जाती है, अथवा क्रोधी, चिडचिडे स्वभाव की झगडालू बन जाती है ।

इस तरह स्‍त्रियों द्धारा पति की उपेक्षा, आलोचना करना भी उतना ही विषेला है। पुरुषो को अपने काम से थक कर आने पर घर मे प्रेम व उल्लास का उमडता हुआ समुद्र लहराता मिलना चाहिए, जिससे उन की दिन भर की थकान, क्लांति, परेशानी धुल जाए । उनके साथ यदि पत्‍नी कटु आलोचना, वयग्य-बान, बच्‍चे की धर पकड, हाय हल्ले का सामना करना पडे तो उस आदमी का क्या हालत होगी, भुक्तभोगी इस का अंदाज़ा लगा सकते है। पति पत्‍नी का एक समान संबंध है, जिसमे न कोई छोटा, न कोई बडा है । दामप्त जीवन मे विषबृधि का एक कारण परस्पर और आदर-भावनाओ की कमी भी है।

मर्द सुबह मानसिक रुप से कमजोर होते हैं

कह्ते है कि एक अच्छी नींद और सफल दाम्पत्य जीवन किसी भी पुरुष व महिला के लिए अवशयक होता है लेकिन कभी कभी ऎसी बातें सामने आती है जो किसी को भी चौका सकती है। अभी तक यही समझा जाता रहा है कि पति पत्‍नी एक ही वैड पर शयन करना दोनो की निकटता मे बृद्धि करता है । अब एक नए अनुसंधान से जो बात सामने आयी है वह पुरुषों को काफी चौकाने वाली हो सकती है। इस के अनुसार रात्री को अपने पत्‍नी के साथ एक ही बिस्तर पर शेयन करने वाले पुरुष के मानसिकता पर प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पड सकता है।

वियाना यूनिवर्सिटी के प्रौफेसर जेर्हाट कोलोसेके के नेतृत्व मे औस्टियन वेज्ञानिको के एक टीम ने अपने अनुसंधान से यह निष्कर्ष निकाला है कि रात्रि से सोते समय पति और पत्‍नी का सोने के तौर तरीके अलग अलग होतें हैं तथा एक दुसरे के नीदं मे खलल डाल सकतें हैं फोरम ओफ यूरोपियन न्यूरो सांसिस के अनुसार एक ही विस्तर पर सोने वाले दम्पति को एक दुसरे की मानसिक तरंगो से जो व्य्वधान होता है उस से दोनो की नींद मे बाधा पडती है लेकिन पति के मानसिकता पर अधिक प्रभाव पड्ता है जबकि पत्‍नी के मानसिकता पर अपेक्षाकृत कम प्रभाव पड्ता है। वैसे यही बात प्रेमी प्रेमिकाओ या अविवाहित जोडो पर भी लागू होता है।

अनुसंधान मे पाया गया है कि ऎसी स्थिती मे अगली प्रात: पुरुषो का मास्तिष्क अपेक्षाकृत शिथिलता से काम करता है । जिन दम्प्‍तियों पर यह अनुसंधान किए गए 10 रात तक बिस्तर पर सोने तथा 10 रातें अलग-अलग बिस्तर पर सोने को कहा गया इस दौरान वैज्ञानिक उनके अध्ययन व डायरियां भी तैयार करते रहे। प्रत्येक सुबह मानसिक स्थिती व मानसिक क्षमता का अध्ययन भी किया जाता था ।

अनुसंधानकर्ताओ ने पाया कि जब वे दम्पति एक ही बिस्तर में सोए तो उन की नींद मे बार बार खलल पडता रहा। ऎसा प्रतीत होता था जैसे दोने की मानसिक तरंगें एक दुसरे की नींद को बाधा पहुँचा रही है जबकि उन्हे अलग-अलग सोने को कहा गया तो उन की नींद सामान्य रही। इस मे रोचक बात यह पायी गयी कि पुरुषो को इस बात की अनुभुति नही थी कि इस तरह एक ही बिस्तर मे सोने से उन की नींद मे बाधा आती है लेकिन महिलाओ को यह बात सपष्‍ट रुप से अहसास होता है कि अलग सोने से उन्हे अधिक अच्छी नींद आती है।

अनुसंधान मे पाया गया कि नींद पूरी न होने के कारण पुरुषो मे हारमोंस का स्तर असंतुलित सा हो जाता है और वे अगली सुबह मानसिक क्षमता परिक्षण मे कमजोर साबित होतें है।

भोजन की सही विधि जानिए

(Know the right food method)

सौजन्य: आरोग्यनिधि भाग दो

जीवन मे सुख-शान्ति व समृधि प्राप्‍त करने के लिए स्वस्थ शरीर की नितांत अवश्यकता है क्योकि स्वस्थ शरीर मे ही स्वस्थ मन और विवेकवती कुशाग्र बुद्धि प्राप्‍त हो सकती है स्वस्थ मनुष्य को स्वस्थ रहने के लिए उचित निद्रा,श्रम, व्यायाम और संतुलित आहार अति अवश्यक है। पाचों इन्द्रियों के विष्य के सेवन में की गई गलतियों के कारण ही मनुष्य रोगी होता है। इस मे भोजन की गलतियों का सब से अधिक महत्व है। अधिकांश लोग भोजन की सही विधि नही जानते। गलत विधि से गलत मात्रा मे अर्थात अवश्यकता से अधिक या बहुत कम भोजन करने से या अहितकर भोजन करने से जठराग्‍नि मंद पड जाती है, जिससे कब्ज रहने लगता है। तब आँतों मे रुका हुआ मल सड्कर दूषित रस बनाने लगता है। यह दूषित रस ही सारे शरीर मे फैलाकर विविध प्रकार के रोग उत्पन्‍न करता है। शुद्ध आहार से मन शुद्ध रहता है। साधारणत: सभी व्यक्‍तियों को आहार के कुछ नियमों को जानना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। जैसे-

बिना भुख के खाना रोगों को आमंत्रित करता है। कोई कितना भी आग्रह करे या आतिथ्यवश खिलाना चाहे पर आप सावधान रहें। सही भुख को पह्चानने वाले मानव बहुत कम होते हैं भूख न लगी हो फिर भी भोजन करने से रोगों की संख्या बढ्ती जाती है।एक बार किया हुआ भोजन जब तक पूरी तरह पच न जाए, खुलकर भुख न लगे दुबारा भोजन नही करना चाहिए । एक बार आहार ग्रहण करने के बाद दूसरी बार आहार ग्रहन करने के बीच कम से कम छ: घंटे का अन्तर रखना चाहिए । भोजन के प्रति रुचि हो तब समझना चाहिए कि भोजन पच गया है, तभी भोजन ग्रहन करना चाहिए।
रात्री के आहार के पाचन में समय़ अधिक लगता है इसलिए रात्री के प्रथम प्रहर में ही भोजन कर लेना चाहिए। शीत ऋतु मे रातें लम्बी कारण सुबह भोजन जल्दी कर लेना चाहिए और ग्रर्मियों मे दिन लम्बे होने के कारण सायंकाल का भोजन जल्दी कर लेना उचित है।
अपनी प्रकति के अनुसार उचित मात्रा मे भोजन करना चाहिए। आहार की मात्रा व्यक्ति की पाचनशक्‍ति व शारीरिक बल के अनुसार निर्धारित होती है। स्वभाव से हलके पदार्थ जैसे कि चावल, मूँग, दूध अधिक मात्रा मे ग्रहन करना चाहिए परंतु उड्द, चना तथा पिट्टी के पदार्थ स्वभावत: भारी होते है, जिन्हे कम मात्रा मे लेना उपयुक्‍त रह्ता है।
भोजन स्‍निग्ध होना चाहिए। गर्म भोजन स्वादिष्‍ट होता है, पाचनशक्‍ति को तेज करता है और शीघ्र पच जाता है। ऐसा भोजन अतिरिक्‍त वायु और कफ को निकाल देता है। ठंडा या सूखा भोजन देर से पचता है। अत्यंत गर्म अन्‍न बल का हास करता है। स्‍निग्ध भोजन शरीर को मजबूत बनाता है, उस का बल बढता है और वर्ण मे भी निखार लाता है।
चलते हुए, बोलते हुए अथवा हँसते हुए भोजन नही करना चाहिए।
दूध के झाग बहुत लाभदायक होते है। इसलिए दूध को खूव उलट पुलटकर, बिलोकर, झाग पैदा करके पीऐं। झागों का स्वाद ले कर चूसें। दूध मे जितना ज्यादा झाग होगें, उतना हे वह लाभदायद होगा।
चाय या काफी सुबह खाली पेट कभी न पिऐ, दुशमन को भीन पिलाऐं ।
एक सप्‍ताह से अधिक पुराना आटे का उपयोग स्वास्थय के लिए लाभदायक नही है ।
स्वादिष्‍ट अन्‍न मन को प्रसन्‍न करता है, बल व उत्साह बढाता है तथा आयुष्य की वृद्धि करता है, जबकि स्वादहीन अन्‍न इसके विपरित असर करता है।
सुबह सुबह भरपेट भोजन न करके हल्का फुल्का नाश्ता ही करें।
भोजन करते समय चित्‍त को एकाग्र रख कर सबसे पहले मधुर, बीच मे खट्‍टे और नमकीन तथा अंत मे तीखे व कडवे पदार्थ खाने चाहिए। अनार आदि फल तथा गन्ना भी पहले लेने चहिए। भोजन के बाद आटे के भारी पदार्थ, नये चावल या चिडवा नही खाना चाहिए।
पहले धी के साथ कठिन पदार्थ, फिर कोमल व्यंजन और अंत मे प्रवाही पदार्थ खाने चाहिए।
माप से अधिक खाने से पेट फूलता है और पेट मे से अबाज आती है। आलस होता है, शरीर भारी होता है। माप से कम खाने से शरीर दुबला होता है और श‍क्‍ति का क्षय होता है ।
बिना समय के भोजन करने से शक्‍ति का क्षय होता है, शरीर अशक्‍त बनता है। सिर दर्द और अजीर्ण के भिन्‍न-भिन्‍न- रोग होती हैं। समय बीत जाने पर भोजन करने से वायु से शरीर कमजोर हो जाती है, जिससे खाया हुआ अन्‍न शायद ही पचता है। और दुबारा भोजन करने की इच्छा नही होती।
जितनी भूख हो उससे आधा भाग अन्न से, पाव भाग जल से भरना चाहिए और पाव भाग वायु के आने जाने के लिए खाली रखना चाहिए। भोजन से पूर्व पानी पीने से पाचनशक्‍ति कमजोर होती है, शरीर दुबला होता है। भोजन के बाद तुरंन्त पानी पीने से आलस्य बढ्ता है और भोजन सही नही पचता। बीच मे थोडा सा पानी पीना हीतकर है। भोजन के बाद थोडा सा छाछ पीना आरोग्यदायी है। इससे मनुष्य कभी रोगी नही होता।
प्यासे व्यक्‍ति को भोजन नही करना चाहिए। प्यासा व्यक्‍ति भोजन करता है तो उसे आँतों के भिन्‍न-भिन्‍न रोग होते है। भूखे व्यक्‍ति को पानी नही पीना चहिए। अन्‍न सेवन से ही भूख को शांत करना चाहिए।
भोजन के वाद बैठे रहने वाले के शरीर में आलस्य भर जाता है। बायीं करवट ले कर लेटने से शरीर पुष्‍ट होता है। सौ कदम चलने वाले के उम्र बढती है और दौड्ने वाले की मृत्यू उसके पिछे ही दौड्ती है।
रात्री को भोजन के तुरन्त बाद शयन न करें, २ घंटे के बाद ही शयन करें।

Savitri going to place herselve in line to get free food : a bit of vegetable, Dal and Chapatis. By coming singing and praying everyday, twice a day she can get the free food and some roupies.

A young mother, Amrita, chatting with her neighbor inside the walls of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Meena and her child on a charpoi where they live, near the Iskcon temple. A lot of Hare Krishna devotees visit town and those poor people wait for some help. I would meet her every morning during my stay there. She and her family live under a tent on the side of the street. Still wondering how they managed wjth the amount of water falling during the Monsoon.

A Rajasthani waiting at one entrance of the old city of Jaisalmer.

A woman sweeping the floor inside the Pokharan's palace. The Maharaja and Maharani still live there, they transformed their palace into an upscale hotel for tourists. You can visit a little museum inside.

Two women coming out a small alley on Jaisalmer's walls. I was there in 1984 for the first time and I feel bad about what Jaisalmer has become. I wish it could be included on the Unesco World Heritage Site, to prevent people to destroy the whole city.

A Nice colored wall in Pushkar..

At the entrance of the Maharaja's palace in Bikaner. A beautiful place.
Some handprints reminding some Sati on the wall.

Neeja, sitting in front of her house in the village of Neemrana. A very quiet little place 2 hours south of Delhi.

Savitri, a widow from West Bengal , coming out of the Sri Bhajan Ashram in Calcutta. She is a witty lady, charming and a nice sense of humor i thought.
This is one of the first images I took of her, then we would meet everyday.

Women drying up saris alongside the sacred Yamuna river in Mathura.
A long line of picturesque, pink ghats - with their steps leading to the water's edge, arched gateways and a temple, of course pink, extending along the right bank of the River Yamuna, emphasise the sacred character of the town of Mathura. The birth place of Lord Krishna, "the best known, best loved and most complex of Lord Vishnu's manifestations". Mathura is today an important place of pilgrimage. An ancient city, Mathura's strategic location at the crossroads of various trade routes - that went westwards to West Asia and the Roman Empire; northwards, via Taxila, Pushkalavati and Purushapur to Central Asia and the Silk Route and eastwards to China - ensured its position as a centre of trade and a meeting point for many different cultures

Some students in a Lingaïte school in Sri sailam. This is shot inside the temple where they were studying.
This place is just so wonderful, not a single tourist in sight...

A family of pilgrims from the state of Andhra Pradesh, visiting Mamallapuram, 60 kms, South of Chennai.
Nestling on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, the town was once a port of the Pallava Dynasty. The Pallavas created many marvellous monuments with Sculptural Panels, Caves, Monolithic Rathas (stone chariots) and Temples. Once a thriving port trading with many distant nations, nowadays Mamallapuram is still a big sculpture centre. You can wake up in the morning to the unceasing sound of the chisels gently carving the stone.Apparently, the tradition of Pallava sculpture has never abandoned the place.

While in Bundi I saw this house , the only think that came to my mind was Mondrian.
A nice quitet town, even though I was there during the monsoon.

The Kalakshetra school of dance in Madras, now known as Chennai. That school is commited to the revival of classicaldance and music.
It offers complete courses under the tutorship of a guru in the Indian tradition of Gurukulam, where education is inseparable from other life experiences.
It's a magical place set apart in a huge park outside of Madras. A very quiet place..

A bunch of kids having a lot of fun in the sacred tank near the temple.
It was pretty hot and were very happy.

A Nagababa coming out of the sacred Ganges after having taken his Holy bath. Shot during the Ardh Kumbh Mela in January 2007.

Some pilgrims from Rajasthan coming to Rishikesh in Uttaranchal to bath in the Holy Ganges.
I liked the almost "movie sequence" here
Rishikesh represents the Gateway to the Himalayas in the splendid Tehri-Garhwal region of Uttaranchal. The spectacle of the Ganges rushing through the Himalayan foothills is an awesome sight. Several temples dot the banks of the river at Rishikesh, which represents the site where Vishnu vanquished the demon Madhu.

A woman drying up her saree in front of her house in the small town of Badami..A lovely place.

Tapo Ratna has been a Jain Sadhvi for the past 9 years. She is 32 years old. She is part of the "Svetambara" order, a very strict one. She is holding the "Rajurharan" in her hand, the symbol of that order. I met them in Mysore and spend a day walking with them on january first from Mysore to Brindavan..
On this image, you can see all her belongings next to her. The red bowl is called a "Patra". They can't use cars, buses, electricity, light..... etc.. They dress in white cloth.

Morning. A woman praying to gods alongside the Sacred Yamuna river, one of the seven sacred riversin the country, during the "Ganga" festival in Agra.

Agra came to its own when Shah Jahan ascended to the throne of the Mughal Empire. He marked the zenith of Mughal architecture, when he built the Taj in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
The monument is magnificent, and is usually photographed from the front. I thought that changing the perspective and including the people in the river in the morning light (6.50a.m.), might give it a more real, lively look.

This shot was taken inside the Theosophical Society in Chennai. It’s located in the middle ofa huge park full of Banyans, a beautiful tree. One get a sense of peace there

A woman giving water to a poor person in Badami. I must add that before giving him water, she gave him food,
I wasn't ready to click...What else to say.

Baidehi is an old woman, people told me, 100 years old. She is a destitute woman from the state of Bihar.
She came to Varanasi to die. She is living with other older women inside a house next to the cremation ghats. You can see all her belongings next to the clay oven where she cooks her meals.
Next week I'll be shooting a story about Widows in india

Dishes, Playing, Boating, a daily scene alongside the Ganges In Varanasi

Pilgrims from Nepal staying a few days in Varanasi on Assi ghat. They were all coming back from the Ardh Khumbh Mela in Allahabad before heading back, home to Nepal

A woman carrying a basket in the Gulbarga market in Karnataka. A Beautiful look, like a lot of Indian women.

Coming from all over the country, often on foot, to the town of Haridwar, pilgrims and sadhus are overwhelmed by tiredness, and lay on the bare ground of the ghats, while others eat or attend to their children. I find these scenes as attractive as the place itself, better, the place would be inconceivable without its pulsing life, which often includes animals, as well as human beings. I feel myself completely at ease in these surroundings.

Pilgrims from Rajasthan taking their holy bath in the Ganges. Gangotri. Whatever the temperature of the water pilgrims are flocking to Gangotri to bath in the Ganges. This image was shot in May, and the water was at the time very cold.

A tired pilgrim, trying to hide from the scorching sun, is waiting for the opening of the temple in Tiruchendur.
Tiruchendur is one of the six Aarupadai veedu shrines of Murugan. It has been venerated by the Tamil Sangam literature and is one of the most visited shrines in Tamil Nadu. It is located on the seashore in the southern part of the state between Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari.

Selling spices in a Calcutta's street.

A little girl having fun in the train from Madurai to Tanjore..
I waited quite a while to get it.

Pilgrims having their visit recorded in Haridwar.
"Most of the Hindu people of North India visit The Ganga river at Haridwar at important times of their lives, like a marriage, a birth or a death, to bath in the river and cleanse themselves for a new beginning. Now the photo shows the office of a Panda, so each family has a chosen Panda, you can say a family accountant. Whenever anyone from the family goes to Haridwar they go to their family Panda and get their visit registered in his record books along with details like name and number of people visiting, occasion, date etc. So these records are kept across generations with the same auditor's family. The volume of books look intimidating but they have a neat system of maintaining records and classifying them into house, street, locality and city levels".

In a little village of Southern Tamil Nadu.
Village life.

Women drying up Saris after having taken their holy bath in Prayag at the Ardh Kumbh Mela 2007, last january.

May be my favorite.. I use it on my laptop screen.

A scene of the Pushkar ghats in the morning. A woman, a man and a cow. A peaceful scene that can be witnessed every day in this little jewel of a town, all around the sacred lake. And this, despite the fact that the place has become a tourist “Mecca”.
The sacred Pushkar Lake is believed to have been created by the falling of a lotus from the hand of Lord Brahma. It is therefore considered to be as old as creation itself. It is certainly one of the most worshipped spots, and it is believed that one dip in the waters of the lake is equivalent to performing yagnas for several hundred years.

The charming lake amidst the hills has fifty-two bathing ghats, built all around it. The water next to each ghat is supposed to have special powers: the Naga Kund is believed to give fertility, Roop Tirth gives beauty and charm, Kapil Vyapi Kund water helps in curing leprosy and a dip in the Mrikand Muni Kund grants the boon of wisdom.

Kanchipuram is one of the 7 sacred cities of India. One of my favorite.. The other cities sacred are Ayodhya, Haridwar, Varanasi, Mathura, Ujjain and Dwarka.
In the Indian sub-continent, the leaves of the betel (piper betle) are used as wrappers for ‘pan’, a roll of raw spices that are chewed slowly as a digestive and stimulant—a chewing gum substitute

Neither the city nor this specific temple are particularly important, the frieze with the Vishnu symbol is rather simple, if compared to the ones in most of the temples in this State, but this scene is to me of the greatest relevance, because it represents that peaceful feeling I so often had in Tamil Nadu and it has those powerful colours that I like to present flattened on the picture

Puja. Omkareshwar. Madhya Pradesh
24/03/07

14th of August. A group of women performing the puja in the river Narmada, in Omkareshwar. The brown colour of the river, almost overflowing, is due to the Monsoon season. Omkareshwar, located in Madhya Pradesh, on the Mandhata hill on the banks of the Narmada, is one of the 12 revered Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. The river Narmada branches into two and forms the island Mandhata or Shivapuri in its center. The shape of the island resembles that of the visual representation of the Omkara sound, Om. There are two temples there, one to Omkareshwar and one to Amareshwar. The Omkareshwar temple built in the Nagara style is characterized by a lofty shikhara. There are also shrines to Annapurna and Ganesh.

Sleepy Sadhu. Patna. Bihar

A sleepy saddhu at the door of a small temple in Patna. The Sadhu tradition has a long history. It consists of renouncing

Sadhus typically survive on bhiksha (alms) provided by families, and on natural resources, and they spend much of
their time in meditation.

The Jagannath Temple of Puri is one of the four most famous holy pilgrimages of the Hindus. The festival of Rath Yatra celebrated here on the second day of the bright fortnight of Ashada (June-July), is world famous for the enormous crowd of devotees that gathers to witness Lord Jagannath's yearly journey in his huge chariot. Lord Jagannath, with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, goes to his garden house for five days. At the end of the five days, the three siblings are brought back to the Jagannath temple ( A temple where non hindou can't have access) in a procession called the Ultarath

The Nayaks ruled Madurai from the 16th to the 18th century and left a majestic
imprint of their rule in the Meenakshi - Sundareswarar Temple.

Omkareshwar is an island, shaped like the holy Hindu symbol of ‘OM'. Thousands of pilgrims gather at this holy city to offer prayers to the Jyotirlingam (one of the twelve throughout India), at the Shiva temple of Shri Omkar Mandhata. The jyotirlingam and the shape of the island combine to increase the religious importance of the island for devout Hindus.
The Shri Omkar Mandhata, a temple dedicated to Shiva, is constructed from local soft sandstone. Sandstone being easy to work with, the masons and artisans were able to achieve a very high degree of intricate carving, particularly on the upper parts.

A Sikh reading his sacred book alongside the tank of the Golden Temple. A minimalist shot, showing the reflection
of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, literally, pool of nectar.

This piece of architecture draws on both Hindu and Moslem artistic styles, yet represents a unique co-evolution of the two. During the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839), Hari Mandir was richly ornamented with marble sculptures, golden gilding, and large quantities of precious stones. Within the sanctuary, on ajewel-studded platform, lies the Adi Grantha, the sacred scripture of the Sikhs. This scripture is a collection of devotional poems, prayers, and hymns composed by the ten Sikh gurus and various Moslem and Hindu saints. The image was shot the day before
the 400th anniversary of when the Holy Book was first taken to its holy site. Beginning early in the morning and lasting
until long past sunset, hymns were chanted to the accompaniment of flutes, drums, and stringed instruments.

Faith. Tiruvappur Muthu Mariyamman temple

When a loved one falls ill, the family prays to God to heal their child. And when the person is cured, their family takes them to the temple (usually where the main diety is a Goddess) and makes them lie down and "offered" to God, this is symbolically meant to say "Thank you Almighty, this loved one has been healed, we offer her and her good health to you, for without you nothing is possible". A lot of deadly diseases like small pox have made people over the centuries believe that a lot is not in their hands, and it is only upto God to heal them. This is a mark of reverence to the Almighty.

My Favorites Images from भारत INDIA

An older man buying mangoes on the market in Jodhpur

When composing an image, I have a tendency to prefer one without any perspective in it. I like the flat colours.
In Tiruchendur, on the southern coast of Tamil Nadu, I met a few women who came to the temple to pray to Murugan. After the ritual bath, on the beach, in front of the majestic and beautiful temple they needed to dry up their colourful saris. I couldn't resist but to portray them the way I like.Tiruchendur, in the far south of Tamil Nadu, is renowned among Murugan devotees everywhere as one of the greatest centres of the Lord Aru Padai Veedugal’s, literally 'Six Battle Camps'. Indeed, it is here that Murugan and his deva-sena, or army of celestials, confront and vanquish the titan Surapadma and his demonic horde. This struggle is annually re-created at Tiruchendur on the sixth day of Skanda Sashti, the 'Six (days) of Skanda'.

On the Ghats at night in Varanasi

Brahmins praying inside the temple in Mathura, alongside the sacred Yamuna river

At the entrance of the Kumbeshwara temple in Kanchipuram, waiting to open up. One of my favorite images. The brahmin sleeping, the woman in pink begging.

This is the first picture I took when I got to Varanasi, I took it near Assi Ghat.

These temples are built in the Dilwara style that is famous all over the world for its architecture. The style got its name from the famous 'Dilwara Temples' situated on Mount Abu, a famous Hill station and pilgrimage destination in Rajasthan. The Jain temples in the Jaisalmer Fort are dedicated to Rikhabdevji and Shambhavdev Ji, the famous Jain hermits known as 'Tirthankars'. Like all other structures in Jaisalmer, these temples are craved of yellow sandstones.

Charminar is one of the most important landmarks of Hyderabad. The monument was built by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 to commemorate the eradication of plague, shortly after he had shifted his capital from Golconda to what now is known as Hyderabad[1]. Legends has it that the emperor Quli Qutb Shah prayed for the end of plague and took the vow to build a masjid on that very place. He ordered the construction of the masjid which became popular as Charminar because of its four characteristic minarets (possibly depicting the first four khalifs of Islam). The top floor of the four-storeyed structure has a masjid which has 45 covered prayer spaces and some open space to accommodate more people in Friday prayers

The Bishnois are a community of nature worshippers in the state of Rajasthan. Bishnois are strong lovers of wild animals. It is because of their protection that in Bishnoi dominated areas, deer and antelope(such as blue bulls, black bucks, chinkaras and chowsinghas) are seen grazing peacefully in their fields despite the fact that the State of Rajasthan where the Bishnois mainly live, face severe shortages of water.

Enchie, a Bishnoi woman grinding millet to make chapatis, inside the hut seen in the previous image. The Bishnois are a community of nature worshippers in the state of Rajasthan.

It is because of their protection that in Bishnoi dominated areas, deer and antelope(such as blue bulls, black bucks, chinkaras and chowsinghas) are seen grazing peacefully in their fields despite the fact that the State of Rajasthan where the Bishnois mainly live, face severe shortages of water.The sect was founded by Guru Jambheshwar (b. 1451) after a drought in marwar region of India. He had laid down 29 principles to be followed by the sect. Bish means 20 and noi means 9. Thus, Bishnoi translates as Twenty-niners. Further the Guru told to worship lord Vishnu (Bishnu). Thus the sect called vishnoi or Bishnoi. Killing animals and felling trees were banned.

Why God Gives Problems ?
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to
use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:

1.God Gives Problems To DIRECT You.

Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways."

2. God Gives Problems To INSPECT You.

People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience."

3. God Gives Problems To CORRECT You.

Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something... health, money, a relationship. .. by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me,for it taught me to pay attention to your laws."

4. God Gives Problems To PROTECT You.

A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good...

5. God Gives Problems To PERFECT You.

Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity.

"We can rejoice when we run into problems...
they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady."

God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.

"Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned, lives touched and moments shared along the way"

The Power Of Positive Thinking
You are what you think. You feel what you want.

Why Think Positively?

All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not.
Aim high and do your best
We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive.

The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others, learning is a drudgery. For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job.

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
---Abraham Lincoln
Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that form our self-image and our world-image.

These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.

The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner conversations.

What Should We Be Saying?

One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challenge.

Commitment
Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.

Control
Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize to practice your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy successes. Be honest with yourself.

Challenge
Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things. Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions. Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.

Studies show that people with these characteristics are winners in good times and survivors in hard times.

Research shows that,
"... people who begin consciously to modify their inner conversations and assumptions report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to go better ..."

Commitment, control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking. Here are some other suggestions.

7 Suggestions for Building Positive Attitudes
In every class, look for positive people to associate with.

In every lecture, look for one more interesting idea.

In every chapter, find one more concept important to you.

With every friend, explain a new idea you've just learned.

With every teacher, ask a question.

With yourself, keep a list of your goals, positive thoughts and actions.

Remember, you are what you think, you feel what you want.

The last time i cried...Its a poem...

In the name of The Most Merciful who shows Mercy to those who have Mercy on Others.

The last time i cried,
I was sitting at home,and it was deep in the night...
I was watching TV and looking at the flickering screen of the shadows and realities.
I was thinking of the olive branch,the symbol of peace,and the poor white little bird holding it.
I was shocked at seeing a girl cry.She was taken back,She cried at the sight of having all the members of her family killed by a faithless,cruel and savage bunch of soldiers.
The last time i cried,
I could see i could see the people who were crushed into pieces,under the heavy steps of artilleries.
I was aghast to see members of a family screwd down to the floor of their house by collapsing roof over them,and the futile attempts of bulldozers to bring them out and take them to the hospital,which was at their elbow.
The last time i cried,
I couldn't believe it when i held on a face,which was dried up and dehydrated.
I was thinking of the ever increasing death tolls of famine in Aferica and the ever growing money sums of the developed countries.
The last time i cried,
I was thinking of the men of the world and their conducts,
I was thinking of the absence of civilization and barrenness of the world,the larg confused mass of wildemess.
The last time i cried,
I was thinking whether would t be the last time i cried.
