What are you attracting?

If it’s good it’s because of some change.

We attract what we are.

If we are happy we attract more happiness, if we are depressed we attract more depression. 

If we are feeling like a winner we attract more wins. If we feel love we attract more love.

It’s based on the simple theory of Law of attraction.

I have witnessed this theory myself … so I think the whole point is all about how you feel, so that it makes you be that and finally you land up attracting it!

So how are you feeling now? What are you attracting?

What’s best for your Body Clock?

How do you wake up without an alarm clock?

Why does your tummy start grumbling a few minutes past your regular lunch hour?

What time is it inside your body? That’s a harder question. :P

Light coming in through eyes helps the body clock to keep in time with day or night and it resets slightly every day. Knowing how your internal body clock works can help you make the most of your waking hours.  It is quite natural for some people to want to wake up early and get on with the day, while others prefer to take more time and find they function better later in the day.

Having been watching & reading some research reports plus documentaries about Body Clock, few points & undertakings that I wish to share:

Morning 6 am to 10 am: Prefer doing less exertive activity or excises, as there may be more chances of heart attacks. Never skip your breakfast!

10-12 noon: The most productive hours in the day. Try completing all your To-Do’s during these hours.

Afternoon 12 – 2 pm: Complete your lunch & avoid driving on roads. In case you need to don’t forget to grab a cup of coffee to avoid accidents or any kinds of mishaps.

2-4 pm: Any kind of medication during this time will always do wonders. That’s why Kimo treatment to cancer patients is given in this time interval.

4-6 pm: Physical co-ordination, stamina and metabolic rate peak. Perfect time to slate a game of doubles tennis or schedule an early-evening kickboxing class. Best time for sports & gym.

6-8 pm: Guess why most of the pubs have happy hours during this time? Yes! As research says it’s the best time for drinks & dinner.

8-10: Avoid accessing internet, instead read a book, spread time in what you are passionate about like listening to music, painting etc. If not much, spend a quality time with your loved ones.

After 10 pm: Your hours of the day!. Sleep well and time for love.

Work according to your body clock for your best!

Joy of Giving!

Every time I shop, the challenge I face is to make space for them in my wardrobe. One weekend I closely looked at my wardrobe & figured out that I had a lot of items that I don’t use anymore.  Few stuff which are out of fashion, some don’t fit me any more …it was getting difficult to tackle the mountain of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.

Many of us feel that we may still wear certain items once more or, that we will grow back in to them if we lose some weight. However, there comes a point that we do really have to face the facts and get rid of a couple of things. Good News is that you need not throw everything in the bin, because there are quite a lot of things you can do with your old clothing:

Charity:

Donate old cloths to NGOs. Do make sure, however, that you check your clothing is still wearable. Anything with bad stains, holes or tears should not be given to charity, it would just be disrespectful. 

Sell:

There are a number of organisations that will buy your clothing by weight.  They will provide you a certain amount for every kilo of clothing that they deem acceptable. You could also place your clothing on a number of online bidding websites and let others fight over how much they will give you for it. 

Recycle:

Old clothes, for instance, make excellent rags that can be reused at various places. It is difficult to see something that you really loved and wore with pride turned into a rag covered with oil stains, but that's OK. You could also turn your old clothing into funky jewelry and accessories. The best thing about this is that you end up with something truly original item.

*We need Clothing Bank in India 

It’s not easy to get rid of old clothing, particularly if it’s your favorite brand, however when you give, you make someone else really happy with it, or make a contribution to a better planet. Donations are a very popular medium of giving away clothes to the needy and underprivileged people. It brings personal happiness as well as joy to the beneficiary.

The more you give, the more you have new things coming into your life…so go & enjoy the joy of giving!

Forgiveness!

..some fun, when you risk..

..some joy, when you understand..

..some connect, when you fall..

..some excitement, when you explore..

..some life, when you remember..

..some imagination, when you dream..

..some hope, when you loose..

...some pleasure, when you fly..

...some tears, when you laugh..

..some peace, when you forgive!

*Today was one such day where I was asked for forgiveness like never before...

Stepping out of the Comfort Zone

Last Friday when I stepped out of my comfort zone, is when I truly feel like I am alive. ;)

Writing is an art. Storytelling is an art. I love to do both…As I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone and share my Friday evening night out story… so here you go….

“We friends headed to Xtreme Sports Bar after office to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The club was screening ICC Champions match live and I was badly missing the music. Later we figured out that it’s a karaoke night and I for fun said I will sing.

Our groups “Kabira” got so excited that he went up to the DJ to submit my entry. Karaoke started and the first 2 performance were classy. After which I was so scared, that from with-in I decided not to make fool of myself & asked friends to withdraw my name. Just the next min my name was announced & I was hiding my face. All my friends badly wanted me to get on the floor and do something adventurous! Guess what … I did it.

My friends joined me on the stage, stood beside me & cheered me. I finally sang my favorite song “I just need you now”. I don’t remember the people who were taking my pictures, guys who were capturing my performance in the video, friends dancing around & enjoying themselves… all that I was conscious was about the lyrics & how my voice sounded. At the end I had that huge smile on my face, hear loud applause & see the happiness on my friend’s faces who felt so proud of me. “

That night will always be memorable for the experience & believe that you can enrich your life after stepping out of the comfort zone. With this I could say that tackling a new skill or taking an adventure that scares you a little helps you grow and makes you happier. Most of us have a desire to be comfortable and play it safe. Trying something new can seem scary and not worth the effort. Believe me you witness miracles when we step out of  your comfort zone.

When you step out of comfort zone to follow your dream, there will be mighty storms. But in time, they will subside. And it is then you will appreciate why they came in the first place -- they came to change your direction and move you closer to your goal.

Think back to the most meaningful, amazing moments of your life. When you examine them you will find that they had you stepping out of your comfort zone. Trying something new and unfamiliar brings extra excitement and emotion to life events.

Often, the things that are scariest bring the greatest rewards.

When you step outside your comfort zone, you give yourself a chance to grow, to learn, and to have fun. You get to see what it is like to be one of those carefree individuals who act first and ask questions later.

So, why not have fun for once in your life (and maybe continue doing so) by going out and attempting a crazy and adventurous activity. Step out of your comfort zone and you'll realize how many possibilities really are out there! Even if you fail it will make you stronger, and you will learn from that failure!

4G: Strengths & Challenges in India

These days there are a lot of talks & announcements from all the major operators about 4G.It’s too exciting as Fourth generation, or 4G technology offers mobile internet access at three times the speed of 3G.

4G offers:-

• Higher bandwidth with a very quick access to the internet
• Easily watch TV, streaming videos, albums, and also get access to social media, information, entertainment and online stores
• Valuable Service: Multimedia games, HD videos, e-commerce, mHealth, mCommerce, mobile vault
• Video conference
• M2M (Machine to Machine)

4G Top challenges:-

• Voice and SMS not supported on 4G
• Uses USIM (Universal Subscriber Identification Module) which is different from current SIM since it is a 128 KB SIM thus needs a change in mobile number
• Launched in only few citied of India eg: Blore, Pune, Koltata etc
• Limited area coverage; 4G roaming    
• Lack of connected devices; few 4G supporting handsets & datacards

I are very optimistic about the networking market in India in the coming years. We at Huawei are already seeing increased demand for networking products owing to the new trends in the Indian market. 

It will be very exciting to see the incredible changes that 4G can bring into India....I can’t wait to see!
