Never Give Up Till The End - Try Try Try

Few days back i was travelling by a local train in mumbai, if you have experienced the mumbai local trains then i dont have to explain the experience. but for the people who have no idea let me tell them few things. The mumbai locals are one of the most JAM PACKED - OVER CROWDED LOCALS IN THE WORLD. Nearly 2 to 3 thousand people cramp in 1 local train in peak hours, some sit on the top and risk their lives while many hang on the door with a support of two fingers and stand on as little as a toe to support their pricelesss Life. This goes on everyday come sun rain or any problem. I happen to be one of the lucky travellers who is blessed to travel in the opposite direction in the peak hours or travel during the off peak hours, and i travel in the first class, not that it is any different during the peak hours than the second class compartments. Let me get back to what i experienced, i went to Churchgate from Andheri, takes about 40 mins by fast train, i had to drop my shoes to wankhede stadium and exchange them for another pair, but coudnt get my size of shoes. So i kept the shoes there and dejectedly started my travel back to Andheri, i was carrying a empty New Nike sack with me, in which i had taken the shoes. I bought a Mid Day news paper, kept my Nike Bag on top where everyone keeps their luggage. I told myself not forget the bag when i get down at Andheri, aaaaah I should'nt have said that. I got down at Andheri, Happily sat in an Auto and strted my journey to my House. Half way to my house i realised, SHIT! I Forgot The Bag In The Train. i found myself cursing in my mind hdskj. What a day i was having, neither could i exchange my shoes and also lost my bag , Wow i had wasted half my day just to come back empty handed. Shit! this couldnt be happening to me. i cursed and i cursed. I reached home and sat for few minutes, I was very restless as i couldnt believe what had just happened with me. But then something hit me inside my head, i said to myself why should i give up, let me try and get my bag back. YEAH I had heard and read a lot of stories, how people lose their luggage and het back, i said why not me, at least let me try and ccheck my luck. I remembered i had caught a virar fast local from churchgate at 235pm, the train must be still on its way to virar, and i was sitting in the first class, so the chances are the bag is still there, atleast till it reaches virar. I immediately started calling apna MTNL for western railway helpline, trust them to do the something crazy and they gave central railway helpline and told me confidently they will give the western railway helpline number. This didnt make sense but i didnt have time to argue with the Brilliant MTNL employee. Anyway i called up the central railway no. and to my surprise they indeed gave me the western railway helpline no. of Mumbai Central Station. I told the person at the helpline about my lost bag, gave him the description and the train details along with the compartment and train time. To my surprise the person sitting there immediate got in touch with the Railway Police of Vasai station after checking his timetable. Told me to call after sometime and check. I called after 30 mins, without any expectations, And hallelue Praise the Lord! I heard him saying they have found my bag and i should go and collect it today before 6pm.

Wow! What an achievement, things really do work if you Believe and Dont Give Up Till The End .
Moral of the story -
1) Never Give Up Till the End
2) Nothing is Impossible till you Believe it is Not Possible
3) Always Think Positive

Ataching the photo of the Railway Police Of Vasai Rd Railway Station who acted promptly and got my Bag. Thanks a Lot. Railways have definitely added one more Fan to the club

ARE WE ALL CONNECTED?

Are we all connected? have you noticed that we sometimes pass on the thoughts to the other person without even saying a single word. the feeling behind the thought maybe good or bad. My sister who is a yoga therapist, always tells me how she ends up receiving calls from the people she intensely thinks about, amazing isnt it? and on the other hand i also have a friend who has developed such a dislike for her relative that no matter how good they are with each other they just dont like anything about each other and believe me they have never hurt each other by words, these two individuals are living examples of how people can start hating each other by mere presuppositions in the mind.change the thinking and the world around changes believ me, sometimes we just presuppose things about the people we dont know and develop an image in our mind, whereas once we know them so many times people have apologised for misunderstanding them earlier with their thinking. so many times we base our likeness or dislike for the person even before we have interacted with him/her. so many times we approach a person with a presupposition in the mind and that changed the whole equation of the relationship till we discover the real person he/she is and also till we open up as we are. some times it gets too late and we lose a very important person in our life, just because of our pre supposition in our mind. the presupposition will eventually develop a world full of your own beliefs and which are only true in your mind. do you remember the famous saying "its all in the mind" it is so true. our thoughts the ones which are building our world around us constantly. thats why if you read carefully all the religious texts will always ask you to think positively, think good. guys i am not trying to promote any religion here, but it is important to be aware and appreciate of what is good. why to think positively? well! their is a reason behind it, truly and deeply. if we all look back in our life we have always met people who have somehow always helped us in getting what we wanted to achieve. how and why did we meet these people sometimes is a big question.

are we all connected? yes we are! think about it! the easiest way to understand is the mobile network, it works on a certain frequency. who had imagined few years back that such a technology would come and change the whole world. just like the mobile network our mind has its frequency and it works with the universal mind. every thought that we think eventually becomes a part of this universal mind, and if its a desire then somehow this whole energy around us gets into action to get another person with a similar desire or someone who may help you fulfill your desire, with the help of this universal mind network. we displace this in our life as a mere coincidence and sometimes luck or ignore it completely, because of ignorance or ego. now we always dont get what we ask for, do we? there is a reason for that too. when we wish for something and we dont get it for long time, we also end up doubting our life and start thinking negatively, this negative thinking creates blocks in your way to letting your dreams come true. its a difficult process to only think positively, but once you achieve it , the results are amazing.

meditational practices are very good in erazing the negative thoughts. find a meditation technique that suits you and watch your life change. there are many techniques for meditations, you need to do several of them before you get what suits you. above all this believe and believe and never doubt.

we need to understand the importance of the quality of thoughts that we should possess. the nature of your mind depends on the quality of your thoughts and the quality of your life depends on the quality of your mind. thought are very important, if you are aware of what the holy scriptures are saying or even the scientific world today. all the schools of thought are saying nothing but to think positively to improve your lifestyle. it has been proved by various experiments til today, the link between your mind and your body. sameway today it has been proved scientifically how important it is to think positively and the impact it has not only your life but also on others around you.

i am sure you must have felt an instant hatred or an instant likeness to another person who you have met for the first time in your life. its nothing but the energy that you are transferring out, the energy is built on the quality of thoughts that you have. change the way you think and you find a tremendous change in the way you perceive people around you or even the way you perceive the world.

Are You Suffering From BACK PAIN?

Are you suffering from a Lower Back Pain?

Most common problem of todays lifestyle, thanks to all the technological inventions which help us move less and less. A day is not too far that we will stop moving completely for anything in life. More a nation is developed today, lesser is the time available with people to look after themselves. We spend more time travelling, more time talking on the phone, more time in front of the tv or computer etc etc. Their hardly anytime left to exercise those muscles that are in our body. Look at the exercise machines being developed or being promoted nowdays. The latest equipment what you can get today is making you think less and even cutting down the need of a personal trainer. Just put in your usb in the machine with all your details and the machine tells you everything. Nowdays you get massaging vibrators installed in your cars seat or you get massage chairs, again cutting down the need of another person and making you more and more lazy. E.g. Latest cars, lifts, remotes for everything, and the list goes on.
I remember the good old days when everything that i wanted, made me get up from my place and reach out for the thing what i wanted, by doing either walking or climbing. I had to use my limbs. But nowdays i use only my fingers, press a button and get what you want. The most basic movement of our body that is triple extension and triple flexion has been compromised because of the present innovations of the modern lifestyle. Now what is triple extension and triple flexion(TETF), forget the technical part, its the simple basic movement like e.g. Squat or a lunge or a movement like getting up from a chair or sitting down to pick up and getting up. All these movements involve your ankles, knees and the hip joint, which are responsible for triple expension and triple flexion(TETF).
TETF is the most basic movement of the human body which is being compromised and is being used less and less because of the present modernday lifestyle changes. This reduction in the most basic movement is resulting in a wide range of problems. Its making people obese, stiff, less active, leading to arthritis and back related problems. These are only a few problems but very common.
Back pain can be very serious and affect your day to day function drastically, ak people who suffer from constant back pain, i am sure you atleast one person in your circle of family and friends. So now that we are aware of all the things that are resulting in the back pain or other things. Lets learn to include few things in our daily life, so that our body does not forget its most basic and most important movement TETF. I will also advise if you are already suffering from any type of back pain or health problem then, do consult a professional fitness trainer or a doctor.

List of things what you can include in your daily program e.g.--------
v If you travel by your car, get down 10 mins before your final destination comes and walk to your house, people taking a bus can get down at the previous bus stop.
v Try and do as much work in the house as possible, maintain a good posture throughout(very important), sweep the floor, clean your house, gardening.
v Play with your pet or your kids
v Take your pet on a walk
v If you stay on a higher floor, or are visiting a friend or a office where you need to go on a higher floor, use the stairs to go up and come down.
v Learn yoga, e.g. Sun salutations or few variations, few asanas(postures) which you can do anywhere anytime, wont take much time, just 10 to 20 mins
v Learn some relaxation techniques in yoga, believe me they are great.

And finally if you have any back problem then follow this list
1. Get your back checked from a professional
2. Get your postural analysis done from a professional
3. Get your lifestyle analysis done
4. Be aware of your emotional ups and downs, learn breathing tecniques or learn to stay calm and peaceful, do meditation.
5. Get your muscular tightness and weakness analysed from a physio therapist e.g. You need to stretch your tight muscles first and then strengthen your muscles
6. If you are obese then consult a dietician and a exercise professional to lose weight
7. Get a sports massage for your back pain, regularly, a sports massage therapist is trained formost of the basic things mentioned above.
8. And you can always mail me or contact me for all this :)

Boxing ----- punch your way to fitness

BOXING!

As a boxer myself i can tell you there is nothing like a boxing training and ofcourse nothing like gettine knocked out. hey dont worry when we train for fitness in boxing we wont punch eachother, we have our dear friend the punch bag. so just lets learn a little bit about boxing, then if you are ready to challenge yourself and your limits call me for a boxercise session.

Boxing is one of the worlds oldest and most exciting sports. Its origins are way back in ancient Greece. Through years boxing has changed as an art of self defense, in England in the early eighteenth century and then later becoming one of the most popular sports.
Boxing has become a global sport as professional and amateur boxing. Professional boxing attracts lot of money through commercialization. Amateur boxing is also a serious business as boxers compete for their nations in Olympics and other national and international sports events.
Sports science today has made us understand the working of a human body in each sport. Today’s boxers compared to the earlier one are bigger faster and more powerful. In boxing a boxer has to concentrate on several things in a short span of time. Speed, agility, muscular endurance, muscular strength & power, reaction time and balance are important fitness components for the game of boxing.
A boxer has to punch, duck, move around and defend etc with just a minute to recover between the rounds. Boxing is a very high intense sports involving all the fitness components. A boxer has to maintain intensity throughout the bout, round after round.

Boxing is Dominantly a Anaerobic Sport But needs a good Aerobic Base:-
Any athlete has to train according to the nature of the sport. Sports specific trainings are designed after a complete analysis of the sport itself. Boxing is dominantly an anaerobic sport but needs a good aerobic base. 70 to 80 % anaerobic and 20 to 30 % aerobic. So the training actually is based in different phases till the actual competition, it is divided in off season / pre competition / competition phase. the aerobic foundation is layed majoritively in the off season and pre competition phase which gradually becomes less and the boxing specific skill training increases from pre competition to competition phase. Anaerobic activity is done in absence of oxygen, activities which are short and fast with a burst of energy. Whereas aerobic activity is done at a slower pace and lower intensity and in the presence of oxygen. Even the muscle fibres involved in both activities are different, so the best way to train for boxing is in a very sports specific manner.

Type of Training required:-
Boxing requires interval training. A boxer should train by doing activities from moderate to high intensity, either for specific distance or specific time.

Sample Training for a Boxer:-
circuit training consisting of a combination of plyometric exercises with calisthenics.
e.g. plyometric / callisthenic circuit
1 – skipping or running for 10 mins (warm up)
2 – 60 secs skipping (variation) + 60 secs high jumps + 60 secs burpee jumps x 6/8 rounds with 1 min rest between each round of 3 mins.
3 – skipping or running (low intensity) for 10 mins (cool down)
Or a running circuit

e.g. Running 400 / 600 mtrs or 800 mtrs with rest of 1 min in between

1 – 1 to 2 km slow running (warm up)
2 – 2 x 200 mtrs
3 – 2 x 400 mtrs
4 – 4 x 800 mtrs
5 – 1 km slow jog (cool down)


Amateurs fight a two minute round while professional boxers fight a 3 minute rounds. The basic rule is to train for more time in the circuits by keeping the time interval 3 mins for amateurs and 31/2 - mins for professional boxers, and also doing a extra round.

By training regularly and by learning methods of relaxation a boxer can recover faster in the one minute rest period. The reaction time will improve by continuous conditioning.
