Why are we talking so much about intolerance? Is it because all of us are in favor of tolerance? The answer is yes? If the answer is no, I do not care. No body does. Why not talk of tolerance? Is it not common sense? Talk about something you want, not what you do not want. Can you say that you yourself are tolerant? If yes, then why don't you talk about yourself, share examples and propose solutions instead of cribbing? Remember, if you are part of problem, you are increasing the problem and you yourself are becoming a problem by aggravating it. I pity on the people in public domain who talk about intolerance and think people will appreciate them as intellectuals. Buddy! talk about something you want to see happening. Else, what is the point? If you yourself are not interested to do your bit or have lost the intent to handle the situation, TALK TOLERANCE to RESOLVE INTOLERANCE. Then, share with others what did you do to solve it for yourself and what you suggest for oth...

You can cure arthritis on your own only if you have strong, rather very strong will power. Read further only if you are sure about it. Drink plenty of water. Practice yoga or do some gentle exercises. Change your diet. Follow Health = Nutrient/Calorie rule i.e. focus more on nutrients than calories intake.  Check your Vitamin D.  Prefer plant based diet than animal proteins. Our biological structure is suited more for plant based foods. Increase intake of fruits and vegetables. Avoid sugar, saturated fats (pizza, cheese, meat, dairy), trans fats (fast foods, fried foods), refined carbohydrates (white floor, white rice), sugar-free (Aspartame), alcohol.  Maintain proper weight. Reduce the load on your knees.  Fast once a week. Longer fasts may help more but experiment and find out what works best for you. Quit smoking (if you do). Avoid wearing high heels.

We may speak lies but our body does not. Use this fact to know more about yourself. You can use body language as a tool to know more about yourself and then use the gained information about yourself to fix yourself. Just do it more willingly and it will show you the results. In this post, I am focusing on the eye movement, when mind is thinking. Here are the key points. Are you thinking about past or future? Looking left is thinking about future.  Looking right while speaking is thinking about past. Which type of information are you accessing visual, auditory or emotional? Looking upward while talking means you are accessing visuals.  Looking sideways at the level of ear means you are accessing auditory data. Looking downward means you are recalling or thinking with emotions. Following are the combinations from two set of points - past/future and visual/auditory/emotional mentioned above. Observe how you switch gears to different areas when you listen and...

Introduction Here I introduce a n underrated  new language to the world - Trance. And urge to use it officially . Many of us use English alphabets to type the words from our native language. Most popular use case is chatting and texting. So, are you not already using Trance? Consider this example - English: Hello! Hindi: नमस्ते! Trance: Namaste! Don't you feel a kind of trance when you know that everyone on the planet understands you? This is the goal of Trance. Let us standardize it. Let us use it in formal communication and bring it to main stream. Why a new name? To convey the concept. Trance derives its name from Transliteration. This is the technology behind the success of Trance. Trance makes use of both - Transliteration and Reverse-Transliteration, supported by Translation as per need. Now, you get the idea. Does Transliteration not exist already? Have you not been using it already? It has already existed for ages. You have used it from various di...

Thoughts create emotions. Emotions create your state of being. So, choose happy thoughts. There may be some thoughts that are unwanted, that you want to avoid. But, the point is, they have already entered your mind. That is how you know about them. Do not deny them. Now that they have already entered your mind, you have to deal with them. As an analogy, consider unwanted guests at your home. When they have already entered your house, you cannot deny the fact that they are already in. That will not change the fact. You can only entertain them. Art however is how you entertain them or handle them. First point is, welcome them. Make them feel welcome. You cannot start quarreling with them and expect them to leave immediately. They are expected to fight back in response. And even if you are able to drive them away, you will always hold them in your mind just to avoid them in future. This is how they make permanent house in your mind. You remember them just to avoid them and they do ...

However, many people know only a few benefits which does not stop you getting the benefits though. Here are certain tips that can help tremendously to more benefits and they are so great that they can even be called as real benefits if utilized with proper understanding. This has been Earth that has a lot of absorbed and stored energy of Sun. Earth has stored energy from Sun and it is happening from millions of years. So, when you walk barefoot on bare earth, you absorb a lot of energy. Bare earth means without grass. Walk on bare earth such as beach, sand, no grass.  Grass also wants to draw energy from your body. Walk on dry surface for example when you are on a beach. You feel energized. You do not need to eat as much. You may take fruits and salads when you do not feel that much hungry. When you walk barefoot, you get earthing. You feel grounded ...

Gamification is revolutionizing the eLearning industry. Game based learning strategies increase learner engagement and attract new registrations.  Gartner  Says By 2015, More Than 50 Percent of Organizations That Manage Innovation Processes Will Gamify Those Processes. According to Wikipedia,  "Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems." Above definition itself helps derive the important concept that there has to be a problem that the learner is supposed to solve. A context needs to be set so that the learn can relate and has a starting point to interact with the game. Intent is not to create a game but to create gameful experience. This makes sense, else, we would simply call it Game Development instead of Gamification. Games are intrinsically rewarding by nature but in case of Gamification it is optional to reward intrinsically. Games have predefined rules whereas Gamification has tasks wi...
