Capturing Developmental transition

During the period  from 2005 to June 2010 ,I used to travel by office car from my house to office . On the way, I had the opportunity to witness many structural changes in the buidlings and on the roads due to developmental activities. 

Wherever I used to travel in a car, it was my habit to take video of the roads and notable buidlings  using my camera or cell phone. I captured two such development works as video  (before and after the transition) and posted them in Youtube.

Approach to Central Station:

The first video was taken in 2008. Initially there were many shops on the footpath in front of the Booking cum Reservation Building which is located on the right side of Central Station in Chennai. Apart from hiding the good view of the building, the shops were hindrance to the people who wanted to use the footpath. After removal of the shops and broadening the footpath, we could have a nice view of the buidling and people started to use the footpath happily. You can see the difference in this video.

Turn on the speakers to hear some good music.:-)

 The two video clips taken before and after the removal of the shops were merged  by me and coverted  as a film using Windows Movie maker.

Flyover at Padi Junction:

Another major development witnessed by me was the construction of Padi Flyover which came as a major relief for the users of Two wheelers and Four wheelers. The waiting time at the junction was drastically reduced after the construction of the flyiver  which was inaugrated on 20.2.2009.

I took two video clips when the construction of the flyover was under progress and two clips  after completion. After merging the video clips using Windows Movie maker, I uploaded the short film in Youtube on 21.2.2009.

Is it not nice to witness such nice developmental transition which is taking place in front of our eyes?

WORKSHOP ON HEALTH

In my last post, I mentioned that I will post my experiences in my life also  in my Blog.

Let me start with the latest experience.It is related to one of the important aspects of our life i.e.HEALTH.

Of late my wife and myself were suffering from some minor illness problems  due to indigestion and we had to take medicines from allopathy,homeopathy and ayurvedha doctors. But the illness continued to co-exist along with whatever medicines taken by us.

Last week ,I had severe ulcers in my mouth and tongue and I was unable to eat and talk due to the pain in the mouth.  I had a feeling of uncomfort in the chest area due to acidity  and  some breathing problem . After consulting a doctor, I started taking medicines for this problem also.

At this stage, I received an invitation to attend   with my wife a Workshop on Health   conducted at Hotel Green Park at Chennai on 22nd and 23rd of this month.

I discussed with my wife about whether we could attend the Workshop for two days (of course it is not a free workshop). Finally we decided to attend it, since we felt that it was the proper time for us to attend such workshop.

The Workshop was conducted by Dr. D.Bharadwaj, who  is a Physician, a psychologist, an adept healer, a yogacharya, an academic, a scholar, an author, a journalist, a social activist and a trainer par excellence. He is regularly conducting  Training in Yogic Self Mastery at Bangalore,Chennai and Hyderabad.

More than 30 persons participated in the workshop and most of them had the opportunity to attend the Training in Yogic Self Mastery conducted  by Dr.D.Bharadwaj. Myself ,my wife and few others only  were new participants.

Before attending the workshop, I thought that the Doctor,  being a Yogacharya ,will talk  in the workshop about Yoga, Meditation, Walking etc for improving our health. But my expectations proved to be incorrect. He never touched these aspects during the sessions on two days.

Dr.Bharadwaj dealt mainly about how good health can be attained through proper Diet. He emphasised during the sessions how the food taken by us in the Modern world spoil our health and dealt elaborately about the food items which are good for health and food items which are bad.  Many participants who had benefitted by his treatment eariler shared their experiences of attaining good health by following his advices on diet.

On both days food items as advised by the Doctor were served  in the Hotel. Some of us could see the improvement in health after taking the diet on the first day itself.

The workshop was very well organised and all the particpants expressed their happiness to attend such useful workshop by Dr.Bharadwaj .

After attending the workshop, myself and my wife started to take the diet and follow other health advices  as prescribed by the Doctor. 

Within two days I find now that there is good improvement in my health with the disappearance of ulcers in the mouth and tongue, good appetite which was not there earlier and relief of congestion in the chest area. My wife has also some improvement in her acidity /stomach ulcer problem. I think it will take some time for her since she is suffering from the problem for nearly a year and also diabetic.

Intentionally I have not covered here about the Diets prescribed by the Doctor, since it is not proper for me to share the details which we learnt in the paid workshop. It would be  better to attend the workshop in person to get the full benefit.

Conscience and Me

Last night I had a dream. I saw myself standing infront of me and talked on behalf of my  conscience.  Let me call my image in my dream as Conscience.( Don't ask me is it possible. You could have seen a lot of films where the image of hero or heroine standing in front of them and talking). 

The discussion between me and Conscience  went on like this....

Conscience: Hello Sai baba ,how is your blogging experience?

 Me: Nice.  It is going on well.

Conscience: What type of articles you are posting in your blog?

Me: As the blog is for Knowledge Sharing, I  post articles on various subjects.

Conscience: Are all these articles written by you on your own?

Me: No. I compile the articles from information received by me through emails and  information available from various websites.

Conscience Why can't you write your own experiences on various matters, your visit to various places etc?

Me: Yes. You are correct. I have also noticed that most of the bloggers post their own experiences, their own drawings and their own poetry etc. I'll also start to post some articles hereafter about my own experiences in my life.  Now I have a question to you. Who will be interested in reading these articles?

Conscience: Don't worry about it. Even if no one reads such post, you will have the pleasure of reading it after sometime and analyse whether your experiences narrated in such postings have helped you  in your life .

                         

                  SO HEREAFTER,  I AM GOING TO WRITE MY OWN EXPERIENCES ALSO IN MY BLOG WHICH IS  ONE WAY OF KNOWLEDGE SHARING
