Keep your children sharper through SUPER BRAIN YOGA

"Spare the rod, spoil the child" is a modern day saying which means if a parent fails to discipline the child then they become unruly. Now we have a solution to this. If your kid is hyper active & faces attention disorders you may not use a stick to punish them rather ask them to perform Super brain yoga.

India is home to yoga and thanks to Narendra Modi government's initiative to promote yoga internationally. They have written to UN to declare June 21st as international yoga day. Also they are planning to come with an unique idea of promoting tourism on yoga by issuing Yoga visas. 

India is a country which practises yoga in daily walks of life. In one of the biggest of religion in India (Hinduism) they offer prayer offerings to Lord Ganesha in temples by performing Super Brain yoga (In local dialect its called Thoppukaranam). The teachers & parents punish the kids for their wrong doing by asking them to perform this act. In recent days this practice has faded away and people doesnt know how to perform this correctly.

Steps to perform Super Brain Yoga (Thoppukaranam) :

  • Stand upright preferably towards the east. Avoid wearing jewelry while performing yoga.
  • Roll your tongue inward and press it firmly with the roof of your mouth
  • Hold your left ear lobes with right hand and right ear lobes with left hand
  • Thumb should be in the front of the earlobes, ring finger and middle finger at the back
  • Hold the earlobes firm , inhale gently through your nose and squat down gently to a sitting position
  • Stay in the position for 2 to 3 seconds, then exhale gently and rise to standing position as you exhale
  • This is one cycle, likewise one can perform upto 7 cycles as a beginner
  • A maximum of 13 to 14 cycles is recommended in a day and the best time to do is in the morning
  • Post performing the yoga one can release their hands, free their tongue and loosen up

Benefits:

  • Improves concentration power especially in children
  • Helps kids who has learning disabilities
  • Good for kids who are hyper active & attention disorders

Warnings:

  • Not advisable to ladies during their menstrual cycle and 2 days before and after the cycle
  • Overdoing the exercise will lead to insomnia
  • People with excessive knee pain should avoid this yoga

The next time if you have to punish your kid, spare the rod but make them perform super brain yoga. This means you are not only disciplining them but also make them sharper. Spread this parenting tip to as much parents as possible as a tribute to the upcoming International Yoga Day.

MAKE YOGA A WAY OF LIFE!!!!

Gujarat Lions v Sunrisers Hyderabad, Qualifier 2, IPL 2016, Delhi

Image result for SRH vs GL photos
GL vs SRH

Today we have 2 teams who aim for their first IPL final in today’s qualifier. Gujarat Lions never looked like a debutant from the start. There has been enormous understanding among the players and they have gelled well from the word go. They have one of the most enviable batting line ups in this season with big names like Raina, Mc cullum, Finch & Smith who comprises the formidable four. Luckily for GL’s all of them have chipped in throughout the season. GL by topping the table has shown enormous consistency throughout the season.

GL’s weak link would be their bowling line up. The few failures which they had should be attributed to the inability of their bowlers to defend few low scores this season. Also the batsmen to be equally blamed because their failure happens collectively.

SRH on other hand has grown up the ranks in IPL 9 and the main reason for that being their bowlers. The bowling line up which SRH has is anytime a captains delight to have with players like Bhuvaneshwar, Mustafizur, Henriques & Boult. I’m surprised that players like Boult are warming the benches such is the combination of bowlers they have in their squad. David Warner was spoilt for choices throughout the season in selecting his playing XI.

David Warner was in good form and been amongst the runs. He was One amongst the Top 3 in the batting charts and will be a player to watch for. On the flip side Bhuvaneshwar is topping the bowling charts with the Orange cap. If both of them fire in tandem then SRH win is on the cards . Apart from them we have other key players like Yuvraj Singh who has started firing towards the fag end of the tournament.

So far in this tournament both teams has met twice and in both instances it was SRH which beat GL. On both occasions SRH bowling was impeccable , especially Bhuvaneshwar had a good outing in bowling to GL batsmen. Both the instances SRH chose to chase and they did it successfully.

Kotla pitch will be bit challenging with the odd delivery holding up. Typically it will be a win the toss and bat first will be the choice of the captain.

All said, it would be a mouth watering qualifier 2 on the cards with two well deserved teams locking horns. I would be eager to see on who takes the upper hand .

Is it GL’s batsmen or SRH bowlers?

New Age Thinking

Stone vs Straw

Its a rainy sunday evening , I was munching hot samosas relaxing in my couch with my thoughts flying around on what can be done to pass the rest of the evening. Courtesy to the electricity board who has contributed their bit through power cuts to make it even more boring. As batteries were running dry, I have to move out of my gadgets.

In came my kid after spending her vacation in my In-laws place. It came as a stress buster to me and I decided spend the reminder of the evening with my kid. She pestered me to play building blocks with her, as I was not in a mood to play and smartly offered her a different option of saying her a story which she immediately obliged.

As she belongs to the new breed of kids who normally comes with a flurry of questions in one go, I thought the story option will silence her as she talks less and listen more. As I dint have any fancied stories to narrate , I picked the traditional route. Started my narration by saying "Once there lived a crow which was feeling thirsty ........" & so on  and completed by narration by saying " the water came up and the crow quenched its thirst". When I said the moral of the story as "Hard work reaps benefits" & "Never give up" flash came a question from my daughter.

Why did the crow took all the pains of filling the jar with stones to quench its thirst when it had an easier option of using a straw?

I was dumbstuck with the new age thinking. I doubt whether she googled the below picture before I did
