It is today that one of the greatest batsmen of our country, Sachin Tendulkar, made his 50th century in test cricket. It is a moment to rejoice and congratulate the little master for his tremendous passion and dedicated hardwork all through these years. But behind the scenes, are we really forgetting the fact that cricket is just a game. In modern terms, it may be equated with a shortcut to make money easily, gamblers paradise, or just a wonder way to have a prosperous life (though many don’t even succeed in that). But still even if a person plays cricket for all his life, what productive work has he (not Sachin Tendulkar in particular, just a reference person) done for his country? Continue Reading…

A game is not going to be memorable without its respectable and great players. Over the course of time, chess has produced some of the brightest minds in board games. The discovery of these players was all thanks to several international events organized by the chess society. Several rankings are even used to determine the quality and standing of the players, which made them even more popular to both those who play chess and those who simply admire the game.

The exact origins of chess are still unclear though others believe that the game was based on the Indian Chaturanga, which literally means “four” and “arm”. The ancient “chess” game used pieces that are slightly similar to modern chess, as well as movements. However, the rules of such a game are yet to be clarified. In every game there are rules, and chess in not an exception. In fact, there are several rules that govern the competitive and recreational game. However, the question really is, where did the rules came from and how were they developed?

Three finger technique or method has been made quite popular by several body and mind enhancing systems, like Silva Ultramind, and so on. The 3 fingers technique method involves bringing together the tips of thumb, index finger, and middle finger, with the ring finger and little finger folded over the palm, like while making a fist. The effectiveness of the three finger technique is simply divine and its benefits are mainly due to a general facilitation of neuronal pathways. However, a strong faith is needed to perpetuate or recollect the benefits of this technique, which is based on positive reinforcement of nerve cells in brain.

Learning to play guitar can be a very frustrating experience, at least in the initial stages, when one is unable to grasp the basic concepts, like ear training, guitar string tuning, and so on. In my guitar learning quest, I went through several of these hurdles and was actually stuck behind them for quite sometime. Hence, I know exactly how troublesome they are and also how to get past them effectively and easily. Acoustic guitar string tuning was something I felt I would never be able to do because of the vast experience needed for recognizing musical notes by the ear. However, I was able to tune my guitar quite accurately and very quickly using the beats theory of my physics lessons. It is very simple and does not require an ear that is trained for musical notes. Even a people without formal musical training can tune their acoustic guitar easily using this method. Continue Reading…

As an amateur guitarist, I frequently spent hours searching the internet for easy guitar music. Even when I did not know how to play major chords on the guitar, my computer disk was almost flooded with different kinds of tabs, chords, and sheet music for songs, which I had not heard even once. It was a sort of addiction to collect notations of music, even though it didn’t convey its real message. This is the prime reason why I have started writing about this topic, since I know many new guitarists are anxious to give their slow and lethargic fingers some simple tunes, which they can understand as well as play right from the first day itself. After all we all want quick results ! Continue Reading…

Depression is one such illness, which is difficult to trace from the origin. However, apart from counseling, and history taking, there are several medications, which help in an effective rehabilitation. These medications may not help in removing the disorder from the roots. But the already forgotten roots with a sense of well-being in the present offer a supportive platform to lay the foundations of a new life.

“Timiratuni tejakade prabhu aamuchya ne jeevana !” This is a divine sentence which has amplified one’s inspiration towards living a meaningful life. It literally requests the divine supreme authority (prabhu = God), to take charge of our life and take us from the downtrodden darkness (timir = darkness) towards the path of light (tejakade = towards light).
