Farah Khan and ISP

An article from Hindustan Times (Mumbai Edition):

Fitness - Body, Skin, Teeth, Hair..errrr Brain ???

Brain fitness is often the most talked and discussed term today. Some children are extremely sharp and agile while many others are not so sharp and intelligent (apparently). Children, who have a fitter and physically sharper brain, display an amazing ability to solve the most complex of all classroom problems. Brain fitness is a term that is used almost akin to physical fitness with almost similar type of goals and objectives. Just like we keep our body fit and healthy, we will also need to keep our brain fit. Unfortunately, we spend hundreds of dollars to keep our physique fit and skin beautiful! However, we may never spend the same amount of time, money and effort to keep our brain fit, happy and healthy. Sadly, we may never realize the importance of keeping our brain healthy, smarter and sharper because we may never feel the need for it!

As a parent, we may wish to train our children understand the power of brain and its great importance. Brain train exercises can make our children sharper in their classroom and can help them to develop the most important skills of better cognition, visualization, thinking, imagination and verbal. Last but not the least, using the brain is the best stimulation and training to ensure fitness. Let's provide/create opportunities for our children to use their brain.

I hope you will find this issue helpful. Cheers.

What Teachers Make............

Stumbled onto this wonderful poem by Taylor Mali (www.taylormali. com; also a great video version available http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=RxsOVK4syxU):

What Teachers Make, or
Objection Overruled, or
If things don't work out, you can always go to law school

By Taylor Mali

He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn
from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"
He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about
teachers:
Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.

I decide to bite my tongue instead of his
and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests
that it's also true what they say about lawyers.

Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite company.

"I mean, you¹re a teacher, Taylor," he says.
"Be honest. What do you make?"

And I wish he hadn't done that
(asked me to be honest)
because, you see, I have a policy
about honesty and ass-kicking:
if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.

You want to know what I make?

I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor
and an A- feel like a slap in the face.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall
in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups.
No, you may not ask a question.
Why won't I let you get a drink of water?
Because you're not thirsty, you're bored, that's why.

I make parents tremble in fear when I call home:
I hope I haven't called at a bad time,
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you?"
And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.

I make parents see their children for who they are
and what they can be.

You want to know what I make?

I make kids wonder,
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely
beautiful
over and over and over again until they will never misspell
either one of those words again.
I make them show all their work in math.
And hide it on their final drafts in English.
I make them understand that if you got this (brains)
then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you
by what you make, you give them this (the finger).

Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a goddamn difference! What about you?

Sheetal Vinod share their experience !!!!

Hi Srujana Mam,

After a long waiting period, finally am happy to announce that i am pregnant and my baby is safe, and its all because of the parenting program [ ISP ] which i had attended in bangalore in HSR layout, and your positve energy and blessings, without this i dont think i would have handled such a tough situation...Just wanted to share how this program and the meditation has influenced me...On march 5th i tested from home and i saw a faint line and confirmed that i was pregnant..was really excited..confirmed it again with another company's card and even that showed positive, Doctor adviced to do an internal scan as my history showed ectopic pregnancy..The following day when i did the scan i came to know that things were not favouring me even this time.The doctor who did the scan confirmed that its not in the uterus and the tubes are thickened and there is some free flow of lose fluid all these were strong evidences for ectopic pregnancy again..He also said if it had to be normal it would have fallen to the uterus now and they were unable to see the tubes as the layers were thickened..I went for beta HCG test the same day..I still remember how upset and angry i was, I was wondering why god is punishing us again and again...There are so many parents who dont want babies, throw them to roads, some kill the babies through abortions..why those souls are not coming to my womb ?? was asking these qns repeatedly to myself..Yes its true that doctor had told earlier itself when i went thru laparoscopy in March 2009 that i have chances of having it again..but the chances according to the doctor was only 10-25 % , when i reached home that night from hospital..i swear when i saw the flowers hanging at the door for me to do pooja everyday morning, seeing that i was very very angry towards god and even threw those flowers down saying to my husband, i dont believe in god anymore..From the date we were married i had only 3 prayers of which one was please fullfill my wish of becoming a mom in life...i know my reaction was very very immature...but that night i cried a lot, did not take folic acid tablet, when my husband asked me to take..the question i asked to him was why should i again protect the baby having folic acid when i know that in the next two three days it will be killed and i will have to witness it..TRUST ME ON SUNDAY MORNING AT AROUND 4 AM. I WAS AWAKE I FELT SOMETHING IS INSIDE, I COULDNT IDENTIFY BUT A PICTURE OF TWO TUBES FULL IN BLOOD CAME TO MY MIND ,I COULD VISUALIZE BECAUSE OF MY HEART BEAT MY TUBES AND THE UTERUS ALSO WAS VIBRATING..I EVEN COULD SEE A BLACK TINY SEED LIKE THING TRYING TO MOVE STUCK BETWEEN FEW HAIRS INSIDE THE TUBE....I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND WAS EXHALING IT OUT SO HARD AND WAS IMAGINING THAT THE BLOOD IN THE TUBES WAS PUSHING IT SLOWLY...I REPEATED IT AGAIN AND AGAIN I COULD FEEL YES IT IS MOVING...I DID SEE IT FALLING IN THE UTERUS...even today i dont know whether it was an imagination or a dream...i had seen on a website couple of days back how an egg released from ovary fuzes with the sperm travels through the tube and falls inside the uterus..it was an animated one...may be that s the reason i would have imagined like that..but i dont wish to take it that way...Sunday morning i told my husband as soon as i woke up its not an ectopic pregnancy...and he consoled me saying when doctor said after scan there are 95% chances how can u get excited like this...i told him no no i saw i saw..he said its my illusion and lets face however it is..i even told him the beta hcg we took on saturday will not favour us, but it will be different if we do it tmrw as my baby fell today morning...he did not utter a word. Next day morning i got the report and it was 95 very very low...We took a second opinion from an experienced HOD of sagar appolo with the help of you mam, and she told us hearing the HCG levels ur pregnancy is dropping...which again scared me but i was confident because i have never experienced such a feeling visualizing it...doctor gave us a positive reply saying lets not hurry for surgery lets wait and watch how her beta hcg levels are going..If it doubles in 48 hrs she can conclude as normal if goes high and go down then not normal..The first test was done on 8th of March, and the result was 495 it went high by 5 times, i was happy even my husband then realized what i said was correct...but still our fingers were crossed..coz she wants to see a couple of test result she said...On 10th i gave another sample ...in the evening i was sitting out in the balcony looking at the sky just imagining how each organs in the body are excited and working fast to protect the baby...i was imagining kidneys are doing their duties fast thats why i am urinating now and then...wtever i eat is being processed fast thats why i am feeling hungry even after eating a lot...i saw an eagle flying up in the sky just floating enjoying...was listening to a bhajan and felt that she was doing a ballet there in the sky according the tune...was thinking to myself..for animals what ectopic ?,what miscariage ?, what nutiritious food ? what rest ? right ! they eat everything...still they give birth and all the animals are equally or may be more intelligent than humans ? does anybody inform them about all this...Was feeling guilty of accusing god...but was wondering about his creations on earth... i get a call in the evening from my husband my hcg levels have gone again to 2343...i just couldnt believe it..i again asked him..check propery check properly....he said yes yes !! FROM 95 to 495 again to 2343...Wt should i say for this ? miracle ? or my will power ? or my subconcious mind ws strong enough to show me ? i dont knw whatever it was i just thanked god...I did the internal scan yesterday...and got to see my baby in the uterus...a black colour sac which i had visualized the same image in the uterus..baby is inside the sac now..i l get to see in the next scan...


Mam, just want to thank you for all the support you have given me through out even now...i dont know how to express it..if i had not attended the ISP program it would have been a great loss for us, i would not have come to know that our minds are so strong..i would not have realized the feeling of god is within and not the idol we do pooja daily, without your positive talks daily this wouldnt have happened...I REALLY REALLY THANK YOU AND THE DOCTOR FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART...You showed me the power of the mind, Doctor she waited patiently without hurrying for a surgery ! thats why my baby is safe now..

To all expecting and planning mothers and ladies out there,,,,, please please understand that MIND IS STRONG...anything is possible...In my case it went beyond rules after confirming it as ectopic that too 95% and my baby has come back...so be brave...dont be immature like me :-) just love yourself..feel ur mind...meditate...feel the silence...feel the peace..anything is possible. Hope this was not a long mail and i did not bore you..but just wanted to share all my minute experiencea as the month of March in my life i cannot forget in 2009 and 2010. Guess what ? my husband has started meditating, visualizing my womb and the baby...I thank god for blessing us..


Keep me in your prayers...i am still on my toes as doctor has adviced me to take complete rest for the following two weeks..Bless me and all other expecting mothers out there..

Right brain learning

What is common with these great legends of the past? Ludwig von Beethoven (the deaf musical genius), Albert Einstein (the greatest scientist the world has ever seen), Leonardo da Vinci (arguably the most accomplished man in the history), Marie Curie (the greatest woman scientist of the world), Sir Isaac Newton (the proponent of the Laws of Motion) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (a crazed genius who taught music at the age of 14)?

When we think of all these legendary men and women, we wonder how they could perform so well in their life. We also wonder what is that in them that made them to achieve something that no ordinary men and women could achieve in the life! We also wonder what makes their brain so powerful and brilliant!

When we think of all these men and women, we may not know why they performed so brilliantly in their career. In fact, their left brain characteristics of logic and linear reason made them some of the most genius minds of humanity. However, these stupendous qualities of their brain not only made them the most cherished icons of history! Let us take a closer look at their intuitive, creative right side of the brain! This is what made them some of the most brilliant minds of the past! Everyone including children display their own abilities of brain. Both left and right lobes of brain are powerful enough to make a child intelligent and smart. However, the right lobe of the brain makes some children special and cherished. Children tend to show some special characteristics from their right brain like imagination, vision, creativity and intuition right from their early age. Training our children to use their right side of the brain will make them more intelligent and smart.
