I was literally on tears when i came out on the first day of my workout session. My whole body was under sever pain and I could not even stand for a second. I remember, lying on my bed unable to sleep due to body aces but today i am unable to sleep, if I don't workout at least for an hour. This doesn't mean that I am a workout freak and don't take a break, because i do, once a week.   I am not here to tell about what i went through when i started working out and so on but to tell that how it has changed me as a person. A side effect of a more regular physical workout seemed to have a effect - loosing 4 to 5 kgs without even trying, I simply learnt to treat my body better and nourish myself with right things (food habits).  This does not mean every day workout has resulted in constant state of bliss. What it does mean is that it has helped in knowing my abilities, being honest with myself and my desires and exploring myse...

The media today is controlled by the corporate and it is the interests of the corporate to exploit the media in a manner which helps them in maximizing their profits. In order maximize their profits, the corporates have to ensure that their product sells. To make their product sell, the corporate controlled media has to take the the mass media away from mass reality and this has precisely what has happened.

Select corporations now own the right to sell the network connections, air channels, print newspapers, run websites & radio and above all prevent new organizations from initiating their business. This ownership patterns have also led to the development of corrupt practices like that of paid news and private treatise . In the case of paid ...

“The Buddha,” documentary is a simple, straightforward introduction to the life and teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. Written and directed by Mr. Grubin, it’s broken into roughly equal parts covering the Prince Siddhartha story — decadence, despair and deprivation leading to enlightenment under a fig tree — and the subsequent history and precepts of Buddhism. The documentary revolves around the story of the Buddha's life, as told in the first sutras on the subject, which began appearing around 500 years after the Buddha's passing. Richard Gere narrates the sutra portion of the story, while beautiful Buddist Artwork from around the world is displayed, interspersed with shots of sacred Buddhist historical sites, and some original graphics. We also get a lot of pretty footage of the Indian countryside and various Buddhist pilgrimage spots, as well as Buddhist art. The artwork in particular is stunning, and of course Richard Gere's voice contributes a lovely and pea...

There are several of the sitcoms that have come to an end in the U.S. and the characters long forgotten, but they continue to live on in India, with generosity the large number of American sitcom inspired Indian urban youth. American television has had a huge impact on the growing, mobile, middle-class urban Indian. In the early nineties, the emergence of satellite television also saw the liberalisation of urban Indian culture. The young urban Indian, who for several years had to make do with the dull single television channel (Doordarshan), suddenly had the 'free' world in his living room. America's sitcoms, soap operas, reality shows, movie stars, fashion trends and music have become staple fare that is here to stay. The “Friends Culture” (from popular sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S ) became part of everyday life. The immense popularity of American television programmes is visible in the changing values in urban India. It has given rise to a new culture where several con...
