Synchronizing Mind, Body and Thoughts

We are living a fast paced life. Nobody has time to look back. People all around have started experiencing the stressful life they are living and perhaps that is why many of us resort to spirituality - to get the respite from the chaos we face.

The spiritual path, where, the doctrine to get the respite from the chaos we face is to start doing meditation. Initially, everyone who takes a spiritual route for stress management finds it difficult to understand what exactly the meditation is. Gradually, one also starts to develop a tendency to get mastery over the technique of meditation since one starts to believe that meditation would serve as a magic wand. Eventually, over the period, when one does not get the result as expected, the feeling of disappointment sets in leading to a more stressful state. 

So what exactly does it mean to meditate?

To make it easy for people to understand what is meditation, I have come up with a motorbike analogy. I can say that it's my motorbike that helped me understand the concept.

When we start a motorbike activities like compression, combustion, exhaustion and rotation of crankshaft start taking place inside the engine. To maintain these activities, apart from the fuel, the motorbike also needs air. Then, for suction of air, motorbikes are equipped with a carburettor where fuel and sucked air get mixed in the desired proportion before getting injected into the combustion chamber. When we increase the throttle, engine speed increases and eventually the rate of suction of air also increases to maintain the air-fuel ratio. Similarly, when we decrease the throttle, engine speed decreases and eventually the rate of suction of air also decreases. Well, the activities taking place inside the engine can be correlated with the activities taking place inside the human mind. The activities taking place inside the human mind are nothing but the numbers of thought.

Now, meditation is nothing but a technique to lower down the numbers of thought going on inside the mind. Here, we can relate to the motorbike analogy, which shows how the lowering of the throttle reduces air suction, which ultimately lowers the engine speed. Similarly, if one controls the rate of breathing, one can easily control the activity of the mind. Motorbikes give the best mileage in an optimum working condition, once the unwanted thoughts get rid out of the mind, the optimum condition gets established, which enhances the performance and brings success to life and one would for sure see meditation serving as a magic wand.

Thesis on blending of Aggregates for Bituminous Mix Design without conducting individual gradation

Image
  Introduction Bituminous mixes like Bituminous Macadam (BM), Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM), and Bituminous Concrete (BC) require precise gradation of aggregates to ensure the pavement's durability, strength, and workability. This thesis explains the method used to calculate the proportions of aggregates for each mix type, incorporating theoretical and actual retained weights for 6mm and dust. Additionally, adjustments for 6mm and dust for BM, BC, and DBM are discussed to highlight their role in achieving better gradation control. Objectives To explain the methodology for calculating theoretical and actual retained weights for BM, DBM, and BC. To present the rationale for adjustments in 6mm and dust amounts for BM, BC, and DBM. To provide a clear understanding of how the final proportions of aggregates are derived. Data Layout and Structure There are two tables for BM, DBM, and BC. Left-Side Tables: These tables display theoretical retained weights calculated using the passing per...

Is MongoDB a Technological Upgrade Over SQL Server in ASP.NET MVC?

In the rapidly changing world of web development, the allure of new technologies is substantial, especially when buzzwords like "NoSQL" and "scalability" are mentioned. A common consideration for developers is replacing SQL Server with MongoDB in their ASP.NET MVC applications. But is this really an upgrade, or are we complicating our projects in the name of modernity? Let’s explore this further. The Appeal of MongoDB MongoDB, a widely used NoSQL database, is often praised for its: - Schema-less design : Offers flexibility in adapting data structures. - Document-based storage : Stores JSON-like objects that easily map to application models. - Horizontal scalability : Capable of handling large, distributed datasets effectively. - Cloud-first tools : Solutions like MongoDB Atlas simplify setup, monitoring, and scaling. MongoDB may be a good option for fast-moving startups or applications with evolving data structures, such as content management systems, event logging,...

GST vs. Income Tax: The Reform India Missed

When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out, it was hailed as India’s most ambitious tax reform—one nation, one tax, one market. Over time, the GST Council has spent countless hours framing next-generation reforms: rate rationalisation, compliance tweaks, e-invoicing, and faceless scrutiny. Each step is aimed at plugging loopholes and widening the tax net. But amid this relentless tinkering, a larger question has gone unasked: why do we still carry the burden of dual taxation—GST and income tax—on the same economic activity? The Tax Chain in Action Take a simple supply chain. A manufacturer produces a product for ₹5 (all costs included) and sells it to a stockist for ₹7. The stockist sells it to a retailer for ₹9. The retailer sells it to the consumer for ₹11. Each makes a profit of ₹2. The combined profit in the chain is ₹6. At 30% income tax, the government would collect ₹1.80—provided every transaction is disclosed. If one player hides the deal or shifts to cash, the govern...
