an eventful year ..

Today is the last day of a very eventful year for me. 

I completed one year as principal of the college.

Jobin joined for electrical and electronics engg at Nitte Menakshi institute of technology in bangalore.

Chinnu joined Bishop Cotton Girls School in bangalore in 6 th std.

We shifted house from electronic city to koramangala, bangalore.

chinnu as santa ..

just out of curiosity she wanted to wear the costume which Jobin had kept for his use in the church carol rounds.

Anybody with slipped disc problems . ??

Orthopaedic doctors would not agree to this, but it is true.

Slipped disc pain happens when there is herniation in the spinal discs which touch the nerves of the spine. Doctors say this pain radiates along the path of the nerves to the feet and so on. 

Dr John Sarno MD in his medical career spanning thousands of patients checked the spine MRI images of healthy people with and without herniated discs. There were many healthy patients with herniated discs who never complained of pain. That caused him to start thinking that herniated disc pain is not psychological but mental. 

John Sarno MD, "The MindBody Prescription"

Bestselling author Dr. John E. Sarno reveals how most painful conditions are rooted in unexpressed emotions--and how to cure these disorders without drugs, therapy, or surgery.According to Dr. Sarno, most... pain is a psychogenic expression of unconscious rage -- the brain's way of distracting you from repressed feelings. By changing the treatment focus from the body to the mind, he persuasively argues that pain can be abolished simply by understanding its purpose. Informative and diagnostic, "The Mindbody Prescription" reveals how emotions stimulate the brain to produce physical symptoms, describes these emotionally induced ailments, and offers a therapeutic program, including: -- Thinking psychologically -- Talking to the brain -- Addressing pressures and rages -- Developing periods of reflection -- and more.

This is testimony from a person who has had three recurrences of the problem in the past seven years and now is pretty cool and confident. That's me..

The corruption exposes happening in India ..

It is very heartening to learn that all the big names who committed crimes and corruption are slowly being exposed. Raja, kalmadi etc do not deserve any consideration and need to be handled as if they are seasoned criminals and punished at the earliest if found guilty.

I read the other day in China, it takes just three months from identifying a crime to its conviction .. Will something like that happen in India ? Will these seasoned criminals from all parties and leanings evade the law and walk scotfree ?

GMAT perfect scores !!

As of my information there have been only 4 perfect scores in GMAT history ( the test which is used by many top B Schools in US and Europe to admit students and check their managerial aptitude..) ..

The first was Rober McNamara, President of World Bank, former US Secertary of Defense

The second was a Sindhi from Gujarat, the third an Iyer from Chennai and fourth a Malyalai from Mumbai.

If this information is complete it goes to prove certain points. Indians for whom English is a second language have actually outsmarted native American speakers of the language in language proficiency and comprehension abilities, three times.
