strech your body _fitness tips

Stretching is one of the keys to a balanced fitness regime. Regular stretching exercises helps in maintaining a flexible and supple body.

The benefits of flexibility include prevention of injuries and increased range of movements during the fitness regime, easier and less tiring daily activities because as we know supple muscles use less energy, increased blood flow to the muscles, improved performance, agile body, release of tension, and improved coördination. Stretching can help realign the body and keep up good posture which otherwise can cause repetitive stain in the back and legs.

Here’s a basic guide to a stretching routine that will help you stay fit every day. Remember to stretch only as far as is comfortable. If you experience pain with any technique, drop it until you discuss it with your instructor or doctor.

Always warm up and then gently, patiently stretch your muscles. A good walk is perfect before doing your stretching routine. Do not stiffen your limbs, the moment you feel uncomfortable in holding a position, remember it is time to stop.

Life anr Relation

मलाही वाटते नाते असावे
मलाही कुणि आपले असावे
पण मग एकच गोष्ट
माझ्या मनात येते....


आलो असेच आणि जाणारही असेच
मग का कुणाचे रेशमी बंध
मलाही नाती आहेत.... नाही होती
मलाही त्यांची जपणूक होती...

एक शब्दावर मरण्यासाठी
माझीही तेव्हा तयारी होती
मीही फुलवल्या शब्दांच्या बागा
शब्द खाली पडू न देण्याच्या आणाभाका
पण नातीच कधी फासे असतात
आणि नातीच कधी फास होतात
आयुष्य पिळून काढले तर, तेव्हा
नात्यांचेच फक्त भास उरतात..........

"I have learned that the greater part of
our misery or unhappiness is
determined not by our circumstance
but by our disposition."

Good morning

A joke of day

Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation
when one of the men asked the other," Fred,
how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied.
"They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great." "That's great! And what was the name of the clinic?" Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."

Holi

Cultural Significance
Celebration of the various legends associated with Holi reassure the people of the power of the truth as the moral of all these legends is the ultimate victory of good over evil. The legend of Hiranyakashyap and Prahlad also points to the fact that extreme devotion to god pays as god always takes his true devotee in his shelter.

All these legends help the people to follow a good conduct in their lives and believe in the virtue of being truthful. This is extremely important in the modern day society when so many people resort to evil practices for small gains and torture one who is honest. Holi helps the people to believe in the virtue of being truthful and honest and also to fight away the evil.

Besides, holi is celebrated at a time of the year when the fields are in full bloom and people are expecting a good harvest. This gives a people a good reason to rejoice, make merry and submerge themselves in the spirit of Holi.
Holi also celebrates the legend of Radha and Krishna which describes the extreme delight, Krishna took in applying colour on Radha and other gopis. This prank of Krishna later, became a trend and a part of the Holi festivities.
Mythology also states that Holi is the celebration of death of Ogress Pootana who tried to kill infant, Krishna by feeding poisonous milk to it.
Another legend of Holi which is extremely popular in Southern India is that of Lord Shiva and Kaamadeva. According to the legend, people in south celebrate the sacrifice of Lord of Passion Kaamadeva who risked his life to revoke Lord Shiva from meditation and save the world.

Also, popular is the legend of Ogress Dhundhi who used to trouble children in the kingdom of Raghu and was ultimately chased away by the pranks of the children on the day of Holi. Showing their belief in the legend, children till date play pranks and hurl abuses at the time of Holika Dahan.

william shakespeare story of Tamming of shrew

he principal five acts of the play are preceded by an Induction. Thus the five acts really compose a play-within-a-play, a Shakespearean device. In the Induction, a nobleman out for a laugh puts a drunken tinker and vagrant, Christopher Sly, into bed. He awakens to find a woman calling herself his wife. The wife, who is really the lord’s page dressed as a woman, claims that Sly is a lord. Sly wants his wife to join him in his bed, but she puts him off by asking him to watch a play performed by a newly arrived theater company.

In the central play itself, Lucentio, a young man from Pisa, arrives in Padua to attend its famous university. He quickly becomes enamored of the fair Bianca, who is also pursued by two other men, Gremio and Hortensio.

Bianca’s father, Baptista, will not give away his younger daughter before the elder Katharina—the shrew—is wedded, so Hortensio arranges for his friend the surly Petruchio to woo Katharina. Meanwhile, Lucentio disguises himself as one “Cambio,” a teacher of Latin, in order to woo Bianca. His servant, Tranio, arrives dressed as his master to bargain with Baptista for Bianca’s hand in marriage. Hortensio also comes to woo Bianca disguised as the musician Litio. Bianca favors the younger of the two, and secretly promises to marry Lucentio.

Biscuits of love

Memories of my youth.
Flood over my soul.
When I think of Grandma.
They make me feel whole.
Gathering at her house.
With all the family there.
We made lots of memories.
For all of us to share.

Lessons that she taught me.
Guide me thru the day.
If I listened closely.
I cannot go astray.
Love and commitment.
She drilled into me.
Making the person that I am.
Just who I want to be.

Grandma has many names.
Each one has their chosen.
But the names I want her called
Starts with love,
For she is warm and not frozen.

Follow me

Take my hand and follow me
to that place I long to be.
Take my hand and trust my way,
in that place forever stay.
Follow me toward the sand;
we'll run and play, hand in hand.
Take my heart and hold it true;
forever I'll stay close to you.
Seize my words and listen well,
then forever I will tell.
Release your heart and feelings too,
just as I will do for you.
Trust your heart and follow me,
to that place we long to be.

The First Indian movie with sound

The Google status here

Alam Ara {Hindi: आलमआरा} {Urdu: عالم آراء} (The Light of the World; 1931), directed by Ardeshir Irani, was the first Indian sound film.[1][2].

Irani recognized the importance that sound would have on the cinema, and raced to complete Alam Ara before several other contemporary sound films. Alam Ara debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai (then Bombay) on March 14, 1931.[3] The first Indian talkie was so popular that "police aid had to be summoned to control the crowds.

The film is a love story between a prince and a gypsy girl, based on a Parsi play written by Joseph David. David later served as a writer at Irani's film company. The story centers on an imaginary, historical royal family in the kingdom of Kumarpur. The main characters are the king and his two warring wives Dilbahar and Navbahar. Their rivalry escalates when a fakir predicts that Navbahar will bear the king's heir. Dilbahar, in revenge, attempts to have an affair with the kingdom's chief minister Adil. The affair goes sour and a vengeful Dilbahar imprisons him and exiles his daughter, Alam Ara (Zubeida). In exile, Alam Ara is brought up by Gypsies. Upon returning to the palace at Kumarpur, Alam Ara meets and falls in love with the charming young prince (Master Vithal). In the end, Adil is released, Dilbahar is punished and the lovers marry.

After the fire at National Film Archive of India, Pune, in 2003, which destroyed the last surviving prints of several classics such as Raja Harishchandra and Achhut Kanya, this film is no longer available in its original format

जरा जोड़ कर देखो

पिकासो एक अदभुत चित्रकार था .एक अमेरिकी करोडपति ने पिकासो को अपनी तस्वीर बनाने को दी .दाम पहले तय नहीं हुआ था उसकी तस्वीर दो साल में बनी .वह करोडपति इस बीच बार-बार पुछवाता रहा कि तस्वीर बनी की नहीं.पिकासो खबर भिजवाता कि थोडा धैर्य रखिये,भगवान भी आपको बनाते है तो नौ महीने लग जाते है फिर मैं तो साधारण मनुष्य हूँ दुबारा आपको बना रहा हूँ दो-तीन साल लग सकते है.
दो वर्ष के बाद पिकासो ने खबर भिजवाया कि आये और अपना चित्र ले जाए .करोडपति लेने आया तस्वीर तो काफी सुन्दर बनी थी ,उसे बहुत पसंद आया . उसने पूछा -इसका दाम?

पिकासो ने कहा ,पांच हज़ार डॉलर ! करोडपति चौक उठा बोला, क्या? पांच हज़ार!थोडा सा कैनवास और थोड़े से रंग और इसके दाम पांच हज़ार डॉलर? क्या मजाक करते हो इस कैनवास के टुकडो और इन रंगों की इतनी कीमत? पांच- दस डॉलर में ये सारे समान बाजार में मिल जायेगे और इसका दाम पांच हज़ार डॉलर!
पिकासो ने अपने सहयोगी को कहा कि जा भीतर ,इससे बड़ा कैनवास और रंगों कि ट्यूब लेकर आ और इन्हें दे दे और जितना भी ये देते हो ले ले.उसने ऐसा ही किया सारा समान उस करोडपति के सामने रख दी और कहा ये रहा आपका पोट्रेट अब आपकी जो मर्जी दस-पांच डॉलर दे जाए और यह सब लेते जाए .
करोडपति घबडा कर बोला -ये सब ले जाकर मैं क्या करूगा? तब पिकासो ने कहा फिर याद रखो, तस्वीर रंगों और कैनवास का जोड़ नहीं है उससे कही ज्यादा है,इनके द्वारा तो हम उसे उतारते है जो कैनवास और रंग नहीं है . और हम दाम उसके मांगते है जिसका रंग और कैनवास से सम्बन्ध नहीं है और अब पांच हज़ार में निपटारा नहीं होगा पचास हज़ार देते हो तो ठीक वरना यह तस्वीर अब नहीं बिकेगी .वह तस्वीर आखिर पचास हज़ार डॉलर में बिकी.
गौरतलब: अगर चीजों को हम तोड़कर देखे तो वो दो कौड़ी की हो जाती है और अगर जोड़ कर देखो तो सार्थक हो जाती है .जीवन में जो भी श्रेष्ठ है वह अखंड में है और जो भी व्यर्थ है वह खंडो में है.

story of Adam

One day The Lord came to Adam to pass on some news. "I've got some good news and some bad news," the Lord said.
Adam looked at the Lord and said, "Well, give me the good news first."

Smiling, the Lord explained, "I've got two new organs for you. One is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things, solve problems, and have intelligent conversations with Eve.

The other is a sex organ. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now-intelligent life form and populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organ to give her children."

Adam, very excited, exclaimed, "These are great gifts you have given to me. What could possibly be bad news after such great tidings?"

The Lord looked upon Adam and said with great sorrow, "You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time."

A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk."

What to write? He sighed, and began to scribble whatever came into his head, hoping for the best:

1. No need to boil.
2. Never goes sour.
3. Available whenever necessary.

So far so good - maybe. But the exam demanded a fourth answer. Again, what to write? Once more, he sighed. He frowned. He scowled, then sighed again. Suddenly, he brightened. He grabbed his pen, and triumphantly, he scribbled his definitive answer:

4. Available in attractive containers of varying sizes.

He received an A.

GENEROSITY

Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Gandhiji was sitting. "I must see him," she insisted and going up to Gandhiji touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Gandhiji picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhiji for the coin but Gandhiji refused. "I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh," Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly "yet you won't trust me with a copper coin." "This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands," Gandhiji said. "If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn't mean much. But this coin was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of rupees."
