The jump from the running bus

I remember the difficult days during my schooling. My father was the sole earning member in a private company. And they did not pay high salary. (But now I am earning quite a lot, courtesy the PSU. And I am extremely smart in finance handling. I like travelling on the razors edge, so to say.
I have an American mindset and I pay the price of a pumpkin for a pumpkin).
During school days, we would go to school by DTC bus.
One day while coming back from school, I missed my stop and had to jump from the running bus. I had read the Perelman book on Physics and jumped in a direction opposite to the running direction. I fell down nastily and got bruises. I thought Perelman was wrong.
But now I feel I have the ability in my body to prove Perelman is right. You can jump from a running bus in the direction opposite to its running and can land without falling. It requires practice of course. Good food and regular gymnasium should prepare one for this exercise.

Food Control

Controlling food habits is vital to the success of a bodybuilding regimen. The choice of exercises and supplement requirements too. But all the bodybuilding and exercising coaches say that food is the most important ingredient(supplements included) to workout on. The physical workouts comes a distant second in this race of importance in exercising.
First things first. Are gym supplements approved by FDA? I searched for it in Google. And the answer is "Food Supplements are approved by FDA".
I was early in recognizing the needs of supplements to my gymnasium workouts. Soy, whey, were felt to be absolutely necessary to continue gymnasium. But one thing I could not fathom is the fact that my regular meals too have to be reduced and changed by a very large margin. Now, I do not have too much strength and the food I ate at that point of time was essential to do one hour of gym and feel normal the whole day. Looking back, while considering my strength I will say that I must get a B- in eating habits while doing gym workouts.
I was also too much into cardio earlier on. Presently I feel the reverse. Weights seems better, though cardio is still felt to be essential to round off a gym session.
There may be many ways to control eating habits. Being disciplined on six days and having one day for cheat meals is the suggested method of bodybuilding.com. In India, many people swear by yogic food habits and some tend to totally avoid carbs and fat.  Both the above methods are not suitable to me. I find "eating the same food every day" to be the most inspiring. For the last so many days I have been eating peanut spread sandwiches for breakfast and 3 cups of rice for dinner. The regularity in food is what I like the most. You may say, "I get a good night sleep because I shall be eating peanut spread sandwiches the next day morning".

A fresh beginning to a new day, everyday

The bodybuilding saga continues. Whey, creative, bcaa and Amway protein are consumed. Regular food is disciplined. I am feeling absolutely different now. I get into calorie deficit every day. My health band and internet on calorific value of food says thus.
The exercise session at gym is for one hour. 40 minutes of weights and 20 minutes of cardio. I feel better this way. Though neither the weights or cardio is intense, nevertheless I feel worked out. Decreasing primes workout of 11,7,5,3 reps is effective and is recommended. My most powerful muscle is quads(thighs) at 190 pounds. My hams is 105. My biceps 54. My triceps and chest (chest press) at 50 etc.
I look forward to gymnasium enthusiastically.

Improve Thinking

The CEO of Gazette Software Inc. developed an idea for improving software thinking. He understood the importance of for loops and he wanted to make a quality circle for improving quality of software developed by Gazette Software Inc.
He called five men under him. Udit, finance applications specialist; Naresh, materials management specialist; Kumar, personnel management specialist; Pradeep, publicity department specialist and Yogesh, manufacturing department specialist.
The CEO included, there were 6 men in the quality circle. The order was CEO, Udit, Naresh, Kumar, Pradeep and Yogesh.
The rule of the quality circle was; the CEO will give a seed number. Udit, being a finance specialist will increase the seed number by 10% and then approximate to the nearest integer and pass the number obtained to Naresh. Naresh should reduce the number obtained from Udit by 10% and then approximate to the nearest integer and pass the number obtained to Kumar. Kumar should keep the number unchanged and pass it to Pradeep. Pradeep should double the number obtained from Kumar and pass it on to Yogesh. Yogesh should multiply the number obtained from Kumar by 2 and subtract the number Udit passed to Naresh and return back the result back to CEO.
If the CEO began with 100, what is the number CEO got back at the end of 2 rounds?

Training

Trinarnagar was famous for its rice cultivation. People say that only rice items are served here. Sir Yousuf Pir Sahibzada had made Trinarnagar his home. He was the world renowned motivator. His techniques in motivation and pep talks was supposed to be the best in the world. "He could make a rat feel like an elephant", is the common jargon associated with him.
Piramal wanted to send one of his juniors to undergo motivation program of Sahibzada, He felt Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif were a little de-motivated. A training under Sahibzada will only benefit them, he felt.
Piramal talked with Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif separately. Rajiv had told Piramal, "I do not believe Sir Sahibzada is world class.". Sukhwinder had told Piramal,"I have never eaten rice in my life.". Latif had told Piramal,"Sir Sahibzada belongs to a different subsect and there is prevailing enmity."
Who among Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif is automatically eliminated as a candidate?
