Think or sink!

Our neighbor had parked his car near a park (not car parking area)

and the window of his car was smashed and

everything movable inside the car was taken away.

That U.S.A is Land of Honey and Milk is a myth! :(

MY father used THIS wonderful expression to denote movable things.

"WHATEVER WAS NOT FIRMLY FIXED TO THE GROUND!" :rolleyes:
 
When I saw the wedding photo of

a boy known to me I found myself saying

"The bride seems to be sitting tight on a secret"

She looked so pleased with herself - not in the usual way

a bride is when she manages to get a rich husband.

The others did not like my comment which came out on its own.

Soon I was proved to be right.

Imagine the boy's shock when he found knives and scissors under her pillow

and a different defiant girl from the sweet Arabian horse he had seen a few hours ago.

She has had a traumatic experience and undergone treatment in a mental asylum.

The parents and the bride had managed to keep this a secret until the wedding. :shocked:

That is what happens when we remain connected with the Universal Conscience.
 
Indians feel very jealous of N.R.I s since they earn in $.

Indians conveniently forget that these people also spend in $

They have umpteen loans to pay... the car loan, the home loan etc.

They also have to plan for their own retirement.

The conversion rate is theoretically

1 U.S.D = ~ 60 Rs :popcorn:

but I have found out by comparison that

1 U.S.D = ~10 Rs ( in its purchasing power.)

So it is better to be more realistic

while talking about people earning in $! :moony:
 
Isn't a funny coincidence that the activities of a shishu

follows the alphabetical order!!!

Paa paa :baby:

pee pee

poo(p) poo(p)

PO! PO! (go go)

Shishu itself is a fusion of two words

you can easily guess which and which! :)

Pain Gate Theory




Pain originates within the body and is difficult to be measured objectively. Pain perception is highly subjective. It is a matter of one’s mind. Cultural factors, personality and mental attitudes influence the sensation of pain. Extroverts report more pain than introverts.

Whether or not we feel the pain is determined by more than the nature and intensity of the external stimulus. Women seem to bear the pain better than their male counterparts. The feat performed by the Indian fakirs by sleeping on a bed of nails would be unthinkable–even in the wildest dreams of the westerners.

That the pain can be controlled by thought alone has led to the new theory of pain perception, called The Pain Gate Theory. In order to feel a pain, the pain signal must be strong enough to force its way through the pain gate–a real anatomical structure in the spinal cord.

This pain gate protects us from trivial pains and aches. Cortex which produces endorphins, the natural pain killers in the brain, feeds this gate. Its release can effectively close the pain gate and decrease the level of the pain experienced.

Nerve fibers with small diameter carry the pain stimuli through the pain gate. Nerve fibers with larger diameter passing through the same gate can inhibit those pain signals carried by the smaller ones.

Chemical released in response to the pain stimuli also influences whether the gate is open or shut to the pain signals. The pain gate can be shut, by stimulating the nerves carrying the touch signals, through massage techniques, rubbing, application of ice packs etc.

Acupuncture stimulates the release of natural opioid, chemicals inhibiting the transmission of pain signals. So to say, “We can fight one pain with another pain”.
