Wheeled out

Wheels have always fascinated humans since the time it originated in ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in the 5Th millennium BC. We have found a wide array of applications for wheels and it was taken for granted and we totally ignored the importance of wheel Until Apple placed it in a device and launched it on 23 October 2001. Since then the "Wheeled" device has been the fascination and has been "held" with respect.

For the uninitiated the "Wheeled" device is universally called iPod. ipod was born out of Apple's need to have a digital music player that is not clumsy and big or small and useless.The first iPod was a revolutionary device , it took the digital music world by storm.The more established players like Sony and Philips were caught napping.But all this history and hype didn't spur any urge in myself to buy it even after 5 1/2 years after it was launched

I have my own reasons not to be "wheeled" over by the iPod

Its extremely pricey than its peers , Apple iPod nano 2nd Generation 8GB MP3 Player costs around $185.00 ,While a SanDisk Sansa e280 8GB MP3 Player (with more features) costs just $155.00. I would slash my wrists and die , if I have to pay $30 (Rs 1300) more just for a funky wheel. There is no argument that the wheel is very user friendly and easy to use ,but putting such a huge premium on a innovation like this and short charging users is bad.

I am happy that I am not among the millions who are using iPod , I have bought a Samsung 8GB Mp3 player for $135 with all the features of an iPod 32GB Video player.Don't give in to peer pressure to have an iPod and lose out on better deals,iPod is not the only Mp3 player around there are many better and cheap Players with the same or better features.

Where is India Heading !!!!!

Well where are we heading . we indians are making the best out of everythin .of course we indians have become more tax payers now a days.So where are we heading . The indian economy is boomin like anythin .its growin in a pace which is 3 times faster than wat google is growing .Any guy who is a graduate in india is earning not less than 10K nowadays . he leads a happy life . all new venture capitalist are encouragin entrepreneurs . there are more world leaders emergin out of india . Experts say tat if our growth is gone be as aggressive as we are now then we might go past the economy of the US in 20 years from (is it true) .

Now then we are heading in all the markets starting from the TATA steel baggin the biggest deals of all time "THE CORUS DEAL " . to the Indian IT majors "TCS & INFOSYS" baggin the first Billion Dollar contract from the ABN-AMRO .

Next comes the question of are we really becoming a global leaders, the answer is yes . we are gettin better day by day . the world is lookin at us as a emergin leader in all aspects . we are respected by the people all around the world .
But there still remains one small disadvantage in us i.e we dont pat ourselves wen we grow . Lets come together and make india the world leader .

though we have a huge population we are considered to be people with lot of integrity in us . we have better appitude than the people in the west . Though we lack in the technology aspects which are not comparable to the one tat s used in the west we should not forget tat the technology tat is developed there in the west is also by an indian ..

Its just a free writing i have written . hope i make sense in some means .

Hypnosis - To know more about who you are

What is Hypnosis

Hypnosis is simply the deliberate use of the imagination, paralleled with strong focus and relaxation. Done well, it can work in the same way as when you are dreaming - the mind's 'Reality Simulator'.

Developing Focus

So when you go into hypnosis, you simply get very involved with an inner reality, and we create this involvement, this focus, by drawing attention to detail in an interesting way.
It's just like when you read a good book; a great author will make the words impossible to ignore - he or she will paint pictures in your mind. A good hypnotist will do the same.
But it's not just about colorful imagination, it's about controlling your attention - getting it focused on one or a few things. You can do this by deliberately noticing sensations within your own body.
As an aside, when you can reliably control your own attention, you have a great skill - imagine being able to choose what you think about at any time - or to be able to choose to think about nothing (really handy for falling asleep!).

Creating Relaxation

You create relaxation in hypnosis in 2 ways: by recalling relaxing times (recalling a memory is a hypnotic process as you have to re-construct it)
by talking in a relaxing, soothing way - slowly, with pauses, in a soft, low voice.
This sends an unconscious message to relax
