Gym Exercises

I have joined Enigma Fitness Centre, Sector - 10, Dwarka for being more regular in my workouts. The idea was mooted by my family. They were probably inspired by my regularity in jogging and suggested that I join Enigma Fitness Centre.
There are advantages in being trained in gym. The challenges to a body can be increased. The resistance in ellipticals or the incline in treadmill can be increased. Whereas increasing speed in jogging or finding a hilly area on own is not feasible.
One does not realise the importance of trainer. Even today I do not know whether it is important or not. The trainer knows it better. It is relaxing to know that you are under a trainer. Mr. Praveen is my trainer at Enigma Fitness Center.
I have joined the gym for three months. I wish to improve my stamina.
A dog near the stairs for entering Enigma Fitness Center is an obstacle. He barks on seeing me. I then took a longer route to approach the stairs. The dog was unaware of my smart entry. I hope to make him friendly in a few days time as there will be more light at 5:30 am.

Our Indian Society

Indian society is the aspirations, the hopes, the expectations of its people. Our spirits are affected by forces which shaped our history. The music unfolds its majesty and tells the story as it witnesses. It is neither biased nor it is partial. The story of Indian society by music is a story which is true. Which is real. And which is as it is.
We had dynasties like Maurya, Gupta, Chalukyas who imbibed to us the values of Hindu kingdom. The king is supreme. Unfaithfulness cannot be tolerated. Culture is important. People are important. Respect is expected. And all such values. The advisers were respected for their wisdom. Chanakya was able to advise Chandragupta Maurya to establish a big kingdom. The music and arts of Samudragupta, even today reverberates in our ears not allowing to be left unheard. Kalidasa the poet in the kingdom of Chandragupta Vikramaditya is read even today and the visuals imagined by his work can never be erased by any war of significance. The kings were benevolent and tolerant to their people is exemplified by the actions of Harsha and Ashoka who became Buddhists with the welfare of people in their minds.
The Delhi sultans are the real Islam that India knows. There was slavery. There was freedom. There was growth of arts. There was suppression. There was promotion to agriculture. There was taxes. War was not a priority. It was considered essential, but avoided.
The Mughals were conquerors. They believed in war. They were strong. War was the motive of the early Mughals. Then the Shahenshah and Jahanpanah Akbar ruled. He brought about a revolution by bringing about Din-I-ilahi and tolerance. The Mughals began to accept Delhi Sultans principles later. As exemplified by Aurangzeb.
Where 1857 is considered as India's first revolt, it was also to be the beginning of a sycophant Indian. The war was lost by the mutineers. The Raj started building institutions. Congress was born. And their party leaders began to practice sycophancy to get admissions and jobs. More crucial mistake was their avoidance of Muslim League. It was a genuine avoidance and a very costly one.
Where to now, the music asks? Hindu kings, Delhi Sultans, the Mughals, The Congress or where? The elections are around the corner. And I am asking this question from the Delhi Sultanate mindset.

How far, Commander?

The touch mobile is the commander here.
Some of the upcoming trends in mobile are being briefed here. Just wrapping up things.
Bing becoming more effective. Your device gets more publicity. Over workgroups, intranet, internet.
Nokia launches Android touch mobile. Maybe with Live Tile. So Android fans, get ready for "Everything at once."
Location based social apps launched. If you carry your mobile to Jaipur, then this social app will display your society's Jaipur experience. 360 is one such app. Navicomputer may be another.
Windows are working on speech help. Stuck up with Copy screen and paste. No problems. Speech help comes handy.
Lync is voice communication in Office 365. Apart from possible other functions.
Password management apps. Trust me here. Be careful with these apps. No point in having an assistant for password management. A carefully kept diary is the best solution. I have a diary with  username and password for about 50 sites. Never trust these password apps, I tell you. Be safe.

Planning to spend your vacations by going on a pleasure trip? Go ahead but do not forget to plan your trip well in advance.
The first step would be to follow the place's dress code. Some places demand that you are always presentable. This means that you cannot open the doors of your room for allowing service in  undergarments.
The second step will be to tell precisely what you are looking for to eat if you plan to visit abroad. No eggs, no meat will not do. It will be better if you are specific like Thai Buddhist food or Mexican guilt free food.
The third step is the currency if you plan a visit abroad. You can go to bank and get foreign currency in exchange for rupees. You may take your credit card too along with you.
The fourth step is the communication. Learn how to enable roaming in your phone if your phone requires a manual changeover. Get an International SIM card if you are going abroad.
In case of trips within India, make an itinerary for all the days you shall be travelling. Keep a local map too with you. Tourist buses are actually very good to travel as there will be a guide who will give you information and interesting facts.
If you have a relative in foreign country who can help you during visit, then there is nothing quite like it.
Bon Voyage !! Travel Smart with Skyscanner.

Reality Views

One of the most interesting concept of life is there is nothing absolute. Most of the things are perceived relatively favourable or relatively unfavourable.
What can be considered as being a reality view? I can explain it. This is supported by my favourite theory of statistical kinks.
What is a kink?

If you look at the graph, the x axis is Rs.10 for 1 cm. But there is a kink at the start. 0 to 50.5 has been represented in 1 cm. Then afterwards it is Rs.10 for 1 cm.
In reality a box may be just 2 metres away from you in the table.  But to reach it requires moving your feet, see to it that your hands are clean, be convinced that you need it etc.  These are the kinks that come to my mind.
By the way, kink in slang means sexual taste of a person.

The Hope Project - Indiblogger contest

Devdasis are a reality and is a part of our culture. Many devdasis are Meera. Some have become Meera from Radha. Why? The prevailing circumstances. I remember the song "Ek Radha Ek Meera" composed by Ravindra Jain for Raj Kapoor, here
You are employed. How many are unemployed? You are leading a dignified life. How many know the word dignity? You take liberty in choosing luxury item. How many have the liberty to think luxury? It is a pity that greed has never been dealt with by our saints. I have read hundreds of books but none of the hypocrites, sorry saints, has explained greed. Probably they were unable to discover themselves.
Though not an expert, I deal with greed pretty well. I choose the less obvious ones. Then I try to make them better. Or use it more than needed to satiate greed. I know it is wrong. But the world is competitive. And one cannot escape from it because of resources. The least one can do is stay away from involvement in too many areas. Be good in your area and save resources by not involving in areas not your concern.
Our country is poor. We have been slaves. One can afford to have pride in oneself. But greed; I am afraid not at all.
Controlling our greed will be our biggest contribution to the devdasis. Let us take a pledge that we shall get rid of greed on our own. We should not be discouraged because our saints have not taught how to deal with greed.

Some More Digital . . .

 

 

What you see in the above picture is what is new to my collection. Google Nexus 7 which I bought earlier. I mentioned about it in http://theotherday-kirtivasan.blogspot.in.

 

But the problem was connecting Google Nexus 7 to internet. It is here that my brainwave worked. I bought a wireless router which supports 3G dongle. The wireless router is the white object on the photo. Then came Reliance 3G dongle. The wireless router took it in and worked seamlessly with it.It lasted for 21 days.

 

Then the most awaited day came. The phablet from Nokia-Microsoft. I wanted a good mobile camera. I am totally fine with digital enhancements. So I got a Nokia 1520. That is what you see in the picture above. The yellow object. I did not know about nano SIM.

 

I cut the Reliance 3G SIM into nano SIM and put it in Nokia 1520. Alas !! The voice did not work. No SMSs. The internet however did work. I tried to make nano back to big SIM by adapter. But sorry!! The dongle said it was too much. It failed to work. That was the end of Reliance 3G dongle and SIM which I downsized without proper knowledge.

 

I have now put Airtel nano SIM in Nokia 1520. Only the voice works. Nokia 1520 is obviously the best in business. It deserves an Airtel with 3G. I have applied for 3G.

 

 

 

 And by the way, I wanted to show the picture of how a blog looks like in My Feeds in Windows Phone and in News Bento Metro App running on Windows 8.1 in my laptop. And my latest snap . . .
