Rubik's Cube

Okay, so i found this friend of mine can really solve the Rubik's cube, and there on i went on a mission myself to learn how to solve it.
Wait, what is "Rubik's cube"?

Rather than explaining that The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik and a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers, among six solid colors (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow) A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid color.
I would rather let you see the picture and know what it is...:P

So, you had the "Aha! Oh so this is it." moment.

Looking at this, now you too would want to know how to solve it.
So here i come to your rescue, there are a various things that we would need on the mission:

1. Time: About 15-25 hours of practice would be required to solve the Rubik's cube.
2. Interest : I can take horse to the pond, but can't force it to drink the water. Enough said.
3. An algorithm : You can find one here.Solving Rubik's Cube
4. Most importantly a Rubik's Cube.

P.S. - I was able to solve one-third of the cube(as per the guide) in just 3 hours of diligent practice. So, if you work at it you might be able to solve it after 12 hours of practice, even if it takes longer, once you get it it's worth all the effort.

Just for reference this is how a solved cube looks like :

There you go, happy cubing! :) :)

To my very special friend!

A gift to me, you are thee,
The existence made me wait and wait,
Tested me through the thick and thin,
Seduced to learn and grow,

Evolve till, i needed nothing anymore,
when all my needs evaporated,
when i became a cup overflowing,
with love, happiness, joy and laughter,

When i came to know my path,
When i knew what i am to do,
and when nothing could distract me, divert me, from my path,

Then the existence gave unto me, the gift that is you,
And i am so glad that you happened so late,

Thank you for being there with me,
Thank you for always being around,
Thank you for being such an awesome friend,

thank you to my beautiful friend, you are so amazing!
<3 <3 <3 :) :) :-* :-*

How NOT to be Depressed #2

This is the second post in line. For the First post. Go to.

How NOT to be depressed 

First of all, I am really sorry for being late with this post, So, finally here it is, Ways to counter-attack Depression and live happily!! 

First of all, let’s start with a little bit of theory. There are 2 basic channels of energy in your body, these are called, ida and pingla. Keep your index finger under the nose, and gently blow air out, you will find the flow of air to be dense from one nostril as compared to another. Each nostril represents one channel of energy, the left one representing feminine(ida) and right one representing masculine(pingla). Usually your energy is flowing in either ida or pingla channels, though it is not harmful in normal circumstances, but when you are low and are vulnerable to depression, if somehow you can balance your energy or life force and cause it to flow in both of these channels, you automagically become unstressed, and a sense of calm, a sense of peace starts to overtake you.

 Now, the big question how to cause a balance in the flow energy?

There are several ways to do this, all of them pretty simple, but you should not overlook the power of simplicity, these methods might be simple but they are darn effective and powerful.

So here is the first one, Alternate nostril breathing aka Anulom-vilom pranayama!

Here is how you do it:

1. Close your eyes and relax. Sit in this position for a couple of minutes till you settle down.
2. Close your right nostril with your right thumb
3. Breath in from your left nostril. Hold the breath for a couple of seconds.
4. Open right nostril and close left nostril with middle and ring finger
5. Breath out from right nostril.
6. Breathe in from right nostril, close the right nostril
7. Open left nostril and breathe out.
8. Repeat again, steps 1 through 7.

You can practice this pranayama for bout 5-6 minutes per day.

It is important that you breathe deep into your lungs and not into the stomach. Most elements that absorb oxygen are in your lungs.

The Second one is even simpler, rigorous physical exercise spanning over 5-10 minutes. This could range anywhere from push-ups to brisk walking or running.

The way to check if the flow of energy is the same keep your index finger under the nose, blow some air out gently, you will now find that the air flow is equal from both the nostrils, and now notice the state of your mind, a sense serenity and peace is what is predominant in your mind.

Good Luck! Do drop by the comments telling your experiences!

The Incident!

Okay, so I have had a great day at the college and after the class got over I was enjoying a round of table tennis, I looked at time, 4:26PM, it said.

So, I pounced on my bag hung it on my shoulders and starting running down the stairs.

I bumped into a cab mate of mine (Dikshit), we decided to eat something and we marched straight to Dominos at the H-block of the college.

After ordering the Pizza and the garlic bread (yummmmy ! :P), our evil eyes started scanning the place for an empty table, to our delight, we managed to find one, I threw my bag on the table, and surprise surprise !! we had a table but no chairs to sit on, so while I was carefully guarding the empty table we had invaded, my friend went on to look for vacant chairs like a hungry coyote, he found a pair of them and brought them along.

Tip #1 Facts of Life
If you fall in love with a girl and she ditches you just have to get over it and try to move
on
Tip #2 Crushes
Crushes are kinda like a good thing and a bad thing.  They kinda go up and down like
the stock market. The main thing is you have to control your hyperness. Cut down on
your sugar if you have to because unless a girl is hyper and that is pretty rare, you won’t
get a good start.
