“Compared to what we ought to be, we are only partially awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. We possess powers of various sorts which we habitually fail to use.”
-- William James, Philosopher and Psychologist.
Fantastic and True – Research Findings
• Our brain has 200 billion cells. An average person uses only 1% of these in a lifetime
• Each brain cell can link up with 10,000 neighboring cells, when we learn something new and reinforce it. Possible combinations are1 followed by 10 million kilometers of standard typewritten zeros
• Reactions involving 100,000 to 10,000,000 brain cells occur in the head when we learn to tackle problems or do any mind training exercise
• We use less than 2% of our potential
• Even geniuses, like Einstein, use only about 8% to 15% of their potential and mental capacities
• Our conscious mind is only 10%, of which, we use just a fraction at any given point
• We don’t know how to activate the 90% of the subconscious mind
• We are unaware of the 4 positive and 4 negative traits of our subconscious mind which govern our personality
• We have this wonderful, most powerful supercomputer – with it’s hardware and software, but no operating manual
• We are born with these capacities, and we take them to the grave – unused
• Adults applying ‘super learning’ techniques learned 3,000 new words in a single day, equal to fluency in a foreign language, with 60% recall even after 6 months, with no reinforcement
• Over 70% of our diseases originate in the mind
• 95% of people in this world don’t know what they want in life
• 3% know what they want but don’t know how to achieve it
• 1% know and achieve, but can’t enjoy what they have achieved. They either achieve at the end of their lives or have fallen sick achieving it
• Only1% know, achieve and enjoy what they have achieved
Want to be in this last 1%? Don’t you?
“ It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.”
-- Rene Descartes, Mathematician and Philosopher
Outstanding achievers recognize the fact that we have tremendous capacities and potential, which we habitually fail to use and learn how to tap the hidden powers of their mind.

Call to Heaven !!!
An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.
So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to china.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in japan. There, at a very large
cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in china and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
"O.K., thank you," said the American.
He then traveled to pakistan, srilanka, russia, Germany and France.
In every church he saw the same golden telephone
with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to up to India to see if Indians had the same phone.
He arrived in India, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "One Rupee per call."
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I’ve traveled all over World and I’ve seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I’m told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US the price was $10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?"
The priest smiled and answered, "You’re in India now, son - it’s a local call".

Thimk Different
Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to
give a
student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student
claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an
impartial arbiter, and I was selected.
I read the examination question:
"SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH THE AID OF A BAROMETER."
The student had answered, "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building."
The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really
answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if full
credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics
course and to certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this.
I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student six
minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics . At the end of five minutes, he had not written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one ... I excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on.
In the next minute, he dashed off his answer, which read:
"Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of
the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using
the formula H = 1/2 x a x t 2 , calculate the height of the building."
At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and
gave the student almost full credit.
While leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said
that he had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were.
"Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the
height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer.
For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of simple proportion, determine the height of the building."
"Fine," I said, "and others?"
"Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement
method you will like. In this method, you take the barometer and begin to
walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall. You then count the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units."
"A very direct method."
"Of course. If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the
barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the value of g at the street level and at the top of the building.
From the difference between the two values of g, the height of the
building, in principle, can be calculated."
"On this same tact, you could take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to just above the street, and
then swing it as a pendulum. You could then calculate the height of the building by the period of the precession".
"Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving
the problem. Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows:
'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the
height of the building, I will give you this barometer."
At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the
conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said
that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The student was Neil Bohr (known for quantum theory of physics &
mechanics,hydrogen atom etc ) and the arbiter wasRutherford .

Technology Updates
Hi! It's been a while hasn't it?
Today was a rather interesting day in terms of tech. First of, we have Google launching their own browser - Chrome. I can say that I'm fairly excited and will test it out tomorrow. To clear your head of inconceivable technology jargon - I'll translate. Basically, the browsers we use today (Firefox, IE7 etc.), are all built on ancient cores - none of them are written from scratch. All these browsers were designed from the web requirements of the 90's - when there was nothing like video playing, interaction and stuff on the web.
Obviously, this has changed. Google Chrome is built from scratch, specifically designed for these kinds of thinks. They have a unique, dynamic memory allotment all going to combat the resource problem most browsers have.
The other thing is Spore. If you don't know what it is, read it. I can't wait for Sept 7th! (Unfortunately, my exams start from 15th :() I remember that the main highlight of last month was the LHC finally revving up. Go catch that Higgs Boson!
Catch ya later!

Thin Mania
Looking thin is almost everyone's dream. The logic is two-fold. Firstly, when you are thin, you feel confident and happy. Secondly, in a social or work context people perceive fit and well dressed people to be more effective and efficient.
So here is a simple guide to hiding a few kilos:
1. Wear heels. They do wonders for your posture. As you stand straight you are bound to look thinner.
2. Buy a well-cut structured jacket. Let the cut of the jacket hide all your flaws.
3. When in doubt wear black, or dark blue or purple. It could be a skirt, a pair of trousers, a shirt or a top. Black is a powerful colour and it does hide all your extra inches. Do ensure that the garment does not stick to your skin and show your tyres.
4. A scarf. It adds a touch of sophistication while it takes the attention from your heavy top.
5. Get yourself a corset panty. It will keep your tummy tucked in safe and tight.
6. Buy few but expensive well cut clothes in darker shades which will be staples in your wardrobe
So enjoy dressing up and be proud of your extra inches! And revel in the fact that Jennifer Lopez's claim to fame is her million dollar insured Latino butt!

Check this Out!!
I recently read this most wonderful book - A Short History of Nearly Everything. Bill Bryson(the author) has covered possibly all events of historic importance, including those in the fields of physics, chemistry, geology and biology. Surprisingly, its not boring. It talks about events as they happened and Bryson shares so many incidents from the lives of the scientists that we read about in our classrooms. Very well writen and a must read, to say the least.
By the way, if it matters (i think it does, from how Smith has put it) I am Nishaad Rao from The Galaxy International School. I won't go into details right now. Maybe some other day...
