Perseids Meteor Shower: How it affects you?

The brightest and fastest amongst meteor showers is the famous Perseids Meteor Shower. So popular it is, Google put the picture of the shower on the title page along with its name. The Perseids stream never disappoints. Many enthusiasts have gathered in open spaces and or on the roof of their houses to see the magnificent cosmic firework on  August 12, when Perseids reached its peak performance. This blog post details for you Perseids in terms of astronomy, cosmics and how it affects your family life.

Meteors

You have heard about meteor showers or shooting stars or falling stars, or simply meteors. There are millions of these shooting stars seen throughout the year. When you look at the night sky generally after mid-night you will observe streaks of light flicking away in the sky for a second or two. What you see is not a physical matter, because most of these meteors are so small to be seen from the earth, but the atmospheric reaction when these fast moving meteors hit at the earth’s atmosphere resulting in a friction between the air molecules and the surface of the meteor. So you see the burning of the gaseous particles in glowing colour.

Meteors originate in the following manner. Usually comets pass through the Sun in their orbit and when they get closer to the Sun, they shed parts of their matter. These are known as Meteoroids which travel alone or in a group in the vast expanse of the space. When some of these meteoroids enter into the earth’s orbit we call them Meteors to distinguish from the Meteoroids. Most of these meteors burn out as shooting stars as described above.

Perseids

Most of the showers are named after the constellations they originate from; we call this as “radiant”. Perseids takes its names from Perseus constellation, to which we can trace back its origin or radiant at the point where delta Persei a brilliant star is located. Perseids Meteor Showers which we call “Perseids” for easy reference commences on July 23 and ends by August 22 every year. The stream strikes at about 90 miles per hour. On average 50 to 80 meteors could be seen within an hour, which is technically called as Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR). This level peaks to about 120 ZHR during 11, 12 & 13 August. Moreover, the level rises to about 200 to 500 when the Earth comes into the path of the comet 109P / Swift Tuttle when it flies past the Sun. The comet’s debris is the one that is transformed into the fascinating shooting stars, hence we call this comet the parent of the stream. During the years 1993 and 1994 high rates of ZHR were recorded as the 109P / Swift Tuttle comet was passing through the orbit of the earth. In fact, the comet discovered by Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle in 1862, after whose names it is named was last seen on earth on March 29, 1995 in Australia. The Perseids stream is seen in different cosmic colours. These are keenly watched because the stream coincides with summer time in the Northern Hemisphere. The radiant Perseus constellation lies beyond the ecliptical path of the Sun in the North. Nevertheless its proximity with Aries and Taurus constellations bestows to it high cosmic significance.

Cosmics of Perseids

Perseus is all about bravery, love, wisdom, perseverance and advancement of worldly or spiritual learning. You have learnt about the hero Perseus. He set himself to free Andromeda, the virgin who was chained to the rock to be devoured by Cetus, the whale. Before Cetus can complete his task, Perseus arrives with the Head of Gordon Medusa in hand. He showed the head to Cetus. On seeing Gordon Medusa, Cetus is turned into stone. Perseus then marries Andromeda, so goes the Legend.

Against this mythological background I observed the sky chart from Tehran, Iran at 6.00 p.m., on August 12. I noticed significant phenomena which seriously affect the influence Perseids has upon the people on the earth. One relates to the position of the Moon which is on its last quarter. Although the Moon is 21.5 days old it is still brighter to overshadow the brightness of the shooting stars. Moreover, the Moon is in the first Lunar Mansion (Manzil-Al-Qamar, in Arabic) of Al-Sheratain (means: Two signs). This Manzil is defined as very auspicious moment for beginning any matter or work; besides the Moon itself is in the Aries constellation, which is the first zodiacal sign. The other relates to the position of Sun, which is in the Leo Constellation. On its direct path lies Regulus the Royal Star, Mercury and Saturn all in the Leo Constellation. Now let me give you the result.

How Perseids Meteor Shower 2009 affects you?

1. Babies born in your family during the peak period 11 to 13 August 2009 would be brilliant and maverick at one and the same time. You should take care to neutralize the quality of any eccentric behaviour in them. Let me give you some of the noted persons who had similar birthdays whose brilliance, extra ordinary perseverance and non-conformist behaviour are well documented:

August 11

Steve Wozinak – Co-founder of Apple computer

Alex Haley – Author of the Book “ Roots: The Saga of an American Family”

August 12

Cleopatra VII – Egyptian Queen who ended her life by allowing herself to be stung by a cobra

Cecil B DeMille – Legendary Film Producer

George Soros – Investor

August 13

Sir Alfred Hitchcock – Legendary Film Producer

Fidel Castro – Cuban Leader

2. Those of you who are born in the period 11to 13 August would go through severe mental stress arising from delays, failures and losses in family and business life

3. Those of who are born in the First Moon Mansion of Al-Sheratain are set to reach your best performance in career, business and social life but miserably fail in family and married life

4. Those of you who are born under stars in Perseus Constellation such as Mirfak (alternatively known as Algeneb), a brilliant white and lilac star or Miram, a greenish white giant will have tremendous boost.

5. If your birth or lucky stars are Menkib, Athik and Misam in the Perseus constellation you would achieve above-average results.

6. If you are born under the Star Algol in the Perseus Constellation, you would tend to achieve less than average results. However, if you are feminine you will go have excellent time in family and business life.

Megan Fox, what her Knee reveals?

Megan Fox is the toast of media for quite some time. On June 8, she became the heart throb of the world when she appeared in the Premiere of the Film “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” in Tokyo wearing a fantastic purple coloured gown revealing her right thigh downward. I looked at this picture and the subsequent ones taken in Seoul and Berlin premiers of this Film. These pictures reveal high cosmic power of Megan Fox, the fascinatingly beautiful American actress. I share my thoughts with my readers. Let me pay courtesy to http://www.huffingtonpost.com from whose pages I have culled the pictures of Megan Fox.

Megan Fox, Bio Snippets

Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986 in Rockwood, Tennessee. A mix of genetics from Irish, French, Italian and Cherokee make this Celebrity slim and beautiful. Though she grew up in a poor family she was able to finish her high school and at the same time learning the brass tacks of acting and dancing. Standing tall at five and half feet, she is already billed as the sexiest women by magazines such as Maxim and FHM. Her lifestyle of having tattoos in her body has raised eyebrows in the normally permissive Hollywood. According to one count there are nine of these tattoos; one in the inner right forearm depicting the face of late Marilyn Monroe is worthy of note. “Tattoos are not limited to sailors” she has said” “It’s a fine art; I find it beautiful; I like it”. She has been too frank about sex as well, admitting that “I have the libido of a 15 year old boy” (Emphasis added). In another instance she has said “I really enjoy having sex, and that's offensive to some people. Women are quickest to call other women sluts, which is sad”. http://www.meganfox.net

Her first film “Holiday in the sun” was released in 2001 launching her into one of the successful career as a star. Her break came through with “Transformers” released in 2007. She has acted in few other films as well. Her latest hits are “Jennifer’s Body and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. She is a talented artist with a matching beauty to go with it.

Cosmics of Knee

According to physiology the knee is of an unstable structure. It supports the body weight of a person when he stands, walk about, run or kick a football. The knee connects the thigh bone and shin bone popularly known as shank. But cosmically, the knee downward to the foot is a source of basic cosmic energy that keeps a person alive. The earth energy is generated from the right leg and the water energy is made from the left leg. These energy flows are transported via the knees to the entire body. The knee reveals a lot of secrets of a person. Let us analyse the cosmic power of the knee of Megan Fox looking at the following pictures:

Megan Fox: Picture one

1. The Knee is shaped like the face of a horse; you can see the glow of the knee-cap which has slight caving in both right and left side at the top; the aura of reddish – crimson flows out and in association with the colour of purple dress amplifies a majestic look. A horse trader would immediately look at this sign in the knee of any horse

2. She is undoubtedly connected to a horse in terms of cosmics. Fast and action films are her forte. She would drive happiness in using her footwork in dancing and in action scenes of films. She is an excellent rider of horse, if she mounts one. Besides, her interest in tattoos is also partly driven from this simile

3. She is remotely connected to royalty via her father; my guess is it must be either Cherokee or to the French aristocracy

Megan Fox: Picture Two

4. In order to test this finding I looked at her left knee shown in Picture two. You can notice the same features being replicated in her left knee as well with a remarkable difference. The left knee gives out more reddish rays than her right knee. Moreover the shank of her left leg is straighter. It means she has high sexual power with a combination of earth, water and fire bestowing raw power of a 15 year old boy. She also has more male power which translates into her infatuation with actress such as late Marilyn Monroe and styling with actress like Angelina Jolie

Megan Fox: Picture Three

5. A side view of both her knees with right leg forward in full grace show a well rounded shape accompanied with a slight dip in the lower part of right knee and more than compensating flourish in the upper knee demonstrating that she has a life of rag to riches

Megan Fox: Picture Four

6. Finally, the same picture seen from the front in an upside down V formation of the knees sets alarm bells ringing. You can notice that physiologists may be damned right. Knees are of unstable structure. She must guard against any injury to one of her knees, specially the left one. Let me once again bring the horse simile. Most horses end their life with broken knees.

Sex and Your Penis

Many of you are worried about the length of your penis. Though length is an important aspect in sex it is not necessarily the only one. Thickness, shape and cosmics of the penis do have their impact on sexual pleasure……..

One of the irritating spam mails you receive in your inbox is the solicitation for giving you an enlarged penis provided you part with big chunk of money. The craze for penis enlargement is such that, there is a thriving industry consisting of quite a lot of quacks and of course few genuine medical professionals. “Does length of penis matter” is a question discussed in many forums. I believe that size has some relevance but it cannot be taken in isolation. There are several aspects that make for a satisfactory and enjoyable sex with female partners. In this blog post I am describing these aspects and detail the six types of penis. Check your one among these.

Size of Penis

In the modern times, men do not have giant size penis that was the subject of study and sometimes worship in ancient cultures. Hindus had lingam (penis) worship from time immemorial. This lingam known as Phallus in Greek mythology was fascinatingly large. Ironically in Greek sculptures, the Gods were presented with fairly small penis. The only exception comes from Roman tradition where the Roman God of fertility Priapus was portrayed as having a long penis. The story is very much amusing. Priapus son of Aphrodite and Dionysus was courting Lotis a nymph who repulsed his advances. Determined to have her, Priapus stealthily approached her during night to have sex with her. At this moment an ass brayed and Lotis awoke. She chased him away. Priapus with his log penis erect was running to the amusement of all the gods; so goes the story.

We can analyze the size of penis In terms of length, girth (thickness), shape and cosmics.

Length

The length of penis is generally between 3 to 9 inches. It is measured while the penis is erect and straight. You have to take a foot rule and place it on the top of the penis one end touching the pelvic area; the other end perpendicular to your penis cone. Take the reading two to three times to get the exact measure. If your penis is less than 3 inches it is better for you to talk with an urologist regarding the condition known as micropenis; if it measures more than 9 inches then you have to take extra care as you are one of the few people on earth who has this luxury and perhaps liability.

Girth

The thickness of penis generally varies between 2.4 to 5.8 inches of circumference. Moreover, the girth on the cone can be exceptionally high in certain circumstances. You should measure the girth on the cone, on the base and the middle of the penis known as stem. Record this reading and as I said earlier take two to three readings.

Shape

Both length and girth determine the shape of penis. Hence penis comes in different shapes; all the shapes cannot be covered in a blog post. Generally the shapes are:

1. Conic Boom– a well rounded cone in front with a tapering base

2. Real Phallus a rounded cone, thick stem and thick base

3. Triangle a pointed cone, fair stem and strong base.

Other shapes include rounded, flat, lean, fleshy; long and thick or small and thin; alternately it can be long and lean or short and thick. The permutation is endless.

Cosmics of Penis

Though length, girth and shape do have a bearing on your side, you must understand that you are having sex with a partner whose needs have to be taken into count. However much your penis is strong in terms of length, girth and shape it does not drive the women crazy. On the contrary a long penis might frighten a woman rather than entice her. That is why you need to know the cosmics of penis. Many women rate a penis best when it is driven by cosmics taking her to heaven. For example a hairy, dark penis softly landing in the hands of a cajoling woman leads her to ecstasy well before it actually penetrates her vagina. Most women do touch and fondle penis before the intercourse begins.

Types of Penis

1. Eros Penis: - Named after the Greek god of Eros (Roman god of Cupid), son of Aphrodite the goddess of love and Ares the god of war. Eros is known for unmitigated lust and intercourse and his romantic love with Psyche is well known. Standing erect between 3 to 4 inches in length, it symbolizes a passionate lover without a strong drive or sustaining power. In most cases it is “the spirit is willing and the flesh does not” scenario. As the penis grows old it can only enjoy sex mentally rather than physically. Quick ejaculation is the order of the day. Though the penis does not perform in the bed it has a compensatory factor in the form of a loving husband or partner. Many such Eros are very faithful to their wives and partners. Eros who have conic shape penis could do well specially if they target the vulva of the vagina making the women ride on pleasure. Partners of Eros generally do not complain unless the penis is so lean and listless that it cannot even harness the clitoris of women. Please note that, the vulva and clitoris are within 4 inches of the mouth of the vagina.

2. Ares Penis: - Though Ares is the Greek god of war (Romans called him Mars) and being son of Zeus and Hera he has equal felicity in war and vagina. Standing erect between 4 to 5 inches, Ares is the master of the realm. Ares mixes passion with pleasure and generally performs well in the bed. Since passion precedes performance the penis ideally should be a triangle with pointed cone, fair stem and a strong base. This stimulates narrow virginal passage and then cuppers it with the thick base. Where its cone is thick ejaculation could be faster and could mar happiness. This can be avoided by stimulating the vaginal passage on the mouth of the vagina a lot. Sadly, Ares generally do not have real phallus. To compensate Aries may be hairy or with an appealing body odour.

3. Apollo Penis: - Named after the all-rounder god Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto; Apollo is known for many things good in life including happy marriage and enjoyable sex. Apollo stands erect between 5 to 6 inches, the most versatile one among the penis. Generally it is phallic with rounded cone, thick stem and thick base. Apollo has an un-harming smile on the cone and an appealing smell. It puts many women at ease; they tend to play with it for sometime. When it comes to real performance Apollo never hesitates; it completely covers the vagina no matter whether small or big. Many vaginas would accommodate an Apollo either by contracting or expanding the passage. Ecstasy is the order of the day. Even a hyper-sex vagina would fly to heaven with an Apollo. Some women need stimulation of cervix deep inside the vagina for orgasm. Apollo can do this marvelously well. Hence, partners are very faithful to Apollo.

4. Zeus Penis: - Named after the Greek god of Zeus (Roman god Jupiter), Zeus penis is the king among the entire world of penis. Mythologically, Zeus is the Lord of the Sky and usurper of the Earth. Similarly Zeus subjugates a wife and callously ravishes other vaginas whom it can lay its penis on. Standing erect between 6 to 7.4 inches, Zeus is a master craftsman. Zeus is long and thick and generally has a constitution of real phallus or conic boom appearance, it can scorch any vagina. Such was its power that vaginas just give in to the Zeus. Many Zeus pregnate women without any qualm or quarter. Why women worship Lingam? You can ask the question from a Zeus.

5. Dionysus Penis: - Named after Dionysus, son of Zeus and his mistress Semele; Dionysus was born twice, so to speak. First birth was when Zeus took him out of Semele’s womb and stitched him in his own thigh. Second birth was from the thigh of Zeus later. Hence, Dionysus has the power to give orgasm to any type of women. The phenomenal double orgasm of vagina takes place when Dionysus penis gets its way into the vagina. Standing erect between 7.4 inches to 9.0 inches, Dionysus is the all-rounder with all three shapes: real phallus, conic boom or triangle shape. Dionysus can penetrate a women’s vagina and stimulate vulva and clitoris in the mouth of the vagina; it can also fondle cervix and make the vagina reaches orgasm faster; it can also stimulate anterior fornix located above the cervix deep inside the vagina or posterior fornix located below the cervix deep inside the vagina. These are the most ecstatic centres for sex for any women. No wonder the vagina gets multiple orgasms. Thank you Dionysus.

6. Priapus Penis: - Named after The Roman god of fertility, Priapus penis is extremely long. In mythology Priapus the son of Aphrodite & Dionysus longs for women but never gets one because they are scared of the size of his penis. A long thick and ugly looking penis, Priapus is never wanted by fastidious women. In the early 20^th Century a Priapus penis was banned by the courts in Ceylon not to have any sexual intercourse with any person. Mercifully, the courts did not bar the Priapus penis having sex with animals. Standing erect over 9 inches, Priapus can be anything between 9 inches to eternity. I have personally seen a Priapus penis with a foot length. Whether it can arouse sexual feelings in women or not is a muted question. Priapus can have sex with women whose vagina is very deep with a wide passage or it can satisfy itself without penetrating the vagina at all.

Conserve Cosmic Energy while taking a Shower

Taking a shower or bath is so routine that many of you have few thoughts about the steps that you should follow. Incorrect steps lead to your losing vast quantum of cosmic energy. To conserve cosmic energy here are the steps…..

Taking a shower or bath is one of the best ways to relax yourself after a hard days work. Most of you get into the shower turn the tap and start wetting yourself head on. Some do wear scalp cups but let the water fall on your body straight away. Some of you do a quick shower before plunging into the swimming pool. Similarly when you go for a bath you get into tub pronto with your full body. Immersing the entire body immediately under a shower or inside the bath is very much counter-productive to your original idea of relaxing and harmonizing your cosmic energy. Of course you clean yourself from the dirt and sweat. But, in that process you have lost vast quantum of cosmic energy. In this blog post I am sketching the steps you should follow in taking a shower or bath. Stick to this and your cosmics work best for you.

A) Steps in taking shower or bath

1. Turn on the shower and wet you right leg knee downward; if you are getting into the bath tub place your right foot inside the tub and pour water from the right knee downward

2. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left leg knee downward; if you are getting into the bath tub place your left foot inside the tub and pour water from the left knee downward

3. Turn the shower head to spray the water to your right thigh from the hip downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the right thigh from hip downward

4. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left thigh from the hip downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the left thigh from hip downward

5. Turn the shower head to spray the water to your right shoulder from the neck downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the right shoulder from the neck downward

6. Now let the shower head spray water on to your left shoulder from the neck downward; if you are in the bath tub pour water over the left shoulder from the neck downward

7. Turn the shower head to spray water to your face; if you are in the bath tub pour daub water over your face. At this point your chest, back and stomach all would receive springing of water

8. The last step is to wet you head if you so wish.

B) Steps in applying soap or shampoo

Applying soap, liquid wash or shampoo is on the reverse order of the steps outlined for taking shower or bath.

1. If you are wetting your head start with shampooing your scalp gently and mildly with fingers massaging your head working backward from your forehead.

2. If you are not wetting the head, start applying soap to your face, ears and neck but without harming your eyes

3. Thereafter apply soap to your left shoulder neck downward

4. Now apply soap to your right shoulder neck downward

5. You should then apply soap to chest, back and stomach area

6. Thereafter apply soap to your left thigh hip downward

7. Now apply soap to your right thigh hip downward

8. Thereafter apply soap to your left leg knee downward

9. Now apply soap to your right leg knee downward

Once you have finished applying soap and shampoo follow the steps outlined under (A) “Steps in taking shower or bath” to rinse your body off the shampoo and soap buds.

C) Steps in wiping your body dry

1. If you have wetted your head, start with the head gently wiping head without hurting your hair

2. If you have not wetted the head, then start dabbing the towel gently on your face, ears and neck. Care should be taken regarding your eyes.

3. Go on to wipe the right shoulder dry neck downward

4. Now turn to your left shoulder and wipe it dry from neck downward

5. Run the towel to your chest, back and stomach and dry these areas

6. Go on to wipe the right thigh dry hip downward

7. Now turn to your left thigh and wipe it dry from hip downward

8. Go on to wipe the right leg dry from knee downward; work up to your toes

9. Now turn to your left leg and wipe it dry from knee downward; work up to your toes

Once this is over you will feel that you are very much relaxed with abundant cosmic energy within you.

How to give Useful Advice?

Nobody listens to advice given un-solicited; even solicited advice is ignored because it is delivered badly. You can find out how you can give useful advice to your friends, colleagues and relations and try it out with successfully.

Most of you have occasions to advise a friend, colleague or a relation on some matters. How your advising session went on? Answers would definitely vary, but many of you would admit that you could have done better. In this blog post I am drawing my experience as an Adviser for the last two decades to frame you a simple manual of How to give useful advice, so that next time you advise more effectively. I have configured you as the adviser and “asker” as the other party.

1. Why Nobody listens to Advice?
Many of us have problems in taking advice from others; there are several reasons for this:
1. Such advice is mostly un-solicited
2. Adviser gives arm-chair opinion where asker does not accept the adviser being a person of having sufficient experience or knowledge
3. The language used is pedagogic or too technical or very complex for the asker to understand
4. The advice is badly delivered and over-shoots the problem faced by the asker
5. Timing and/or the situation are not conducive; mostly the advice given in front of others is ignored by the asker
6. Lack of relationship of trust between asker and the adviser
7. The adviser treats the asker as a and uses a tone of authority that does not go well

8. Bad cosmics: In most cases the asker is in an angry emotional or in depressed mood generating negative and bad cosmics; likewise the adviser shows patronizing attitude or sympathetic feelings making negative cosmics. Often this situation is exacerbated when the adviser finds fault with the asker or criticizes or blames him.

2. The Asker
1. Ideally, he must take the initiative to ask for advice from you

2. He must say whether he is calling for an opinion or advice; an opinion is generally, brief to the point and often subjective whereas an advice is a well thought of solution plan based on thinking and reflection and often it is objective

3. He must indicate the time and place suitable for advice and get the consent from you for this arrangement.

3. The Adviser

1. You should never give un-solicited advice, where circumstances warrant you to give such advice, ask him whether you can have a word with him. If he says ‘not this time” just forget it; do not start venting your feelings on him”I told you so, you went and did this”. Sometimes you might try to give advice anonymously, never do this

If he agrees, tell him that you feel for him and whether he wants your opinion or advice. If he asks for your opinion give it in simple language and thank him for the opportunity. If he wants advice, once again ask him whether he is really interested in getting advice from you. This process is known as “discernment”. If he really wants advice then find out the time and place you can do this when both you and he are in good moods to listen and discuss the matter in hand

2. When you are at it, put him in ease; emphasize on the mutual relationship and trust both parties have with each other

3. You have to demonstrate to him that you are a detached person and that you have no vested interest or conflict of interest in handling this assignment

4. You should also adopt a relationship of an adult talking to an adult or an adult talking to a parent; never take the role of adult or parent talking to a child; it is suicidal.
4. The Issue at hand

1. As a preamble ask him to tell about the issue at hand; do not interrupt; let him go for some length before you ask a point or two. When he has finished you ask him to clarify issue; generally the time – tested format of “what, when, why, who and how” comes handy. Depending on the situation and the issue at hand, you can tweak it

2. When you feel that you are not the person who can give advice because the issue involves a question of law, medicine or technology then tell him frankly and refer him to a competent person for further advice

3. If you feel that the issue can be dealt with by you then proceed to the nest stage.

5. Listening

1. Summarize the issue and get his confirmation by asking “so you are saying ……” or “do you mean to say……” etc.

2. Now you ask him further queries so that he thinks for himself; at this time you should make him feel comfortable and believe that you are the right person with right knowledge and exposure who can handle this assignment. Generally, at this point he will open up; he will spotlight his own search on aspects that he has neglected so far. More often than not he would come up with a solution himself. Your role is to patiently guide him. This is win-win situation where he gets space to think about something; you get space to reflect upon. In my experience, this moment is too memorable for the asker; often he would tell others what a great adviser he got

3. If he still cannot come up with something for himself, then you need to do more work and proceed to next stage.

6. Empathizing

1. At this stage, you have to ask for his goals, objectives and ideas regarding any solution you can make for him; you should understand his sensitivities and emotions; you will also know his capacity to solve the issue at hand

2. You must watch him carefully; in case it is a tele conference you must notice his tonal voice; in case of video conference or face to face situation watch his body language, facial expression and the nuances of his speech that convey lot about him, his attitudes and his desires

3. You have to collate your experience; recall what you have learnt in similar cases and bring it to weigh on the current issue. This is known as “personalizing”. Care should be taken not to over-do it

4. Once again, it is necessary to put him on ease with re-assuring words; without bragging yourself state your experience and tell him that you can give him a way–out.

7. Suggesting a Solution plan
1. At this point you are going to unveil a solution plan; you can ask him whether it is alright for you to give a detailed one or something brief now so that he can catch up with you for details some other time. In case of latter make a brief and short solution for him in simple language and ask him to think about it. In case he calls for a detailed plan then you go through the entire mile
2. Formulate the solution plan in such manner at any given time it can be reduced into writing
3. The solution plan must have actionable steps with sufficient justifications. You must never give a solution that a reasonable person in the given circumstance will find difficult to implement
4. You can give the solution plan indicating the alternatives (if any), pros and cons of each alternative and the cost and benefit of each alternative
5. Even here you should give him a space so that he can insert his own predilection. For example, if the plan requires purchase of a car give him space to determine the colour, model and make.

6. Never create another problem or head-ache for him in the guise of solving the issue at hand. Often, advisers create additional problems to the askers; consequently advisers are unwanted

7. Never be too candid like “calling the spade a spade”; be very diplomatic about asker or his weaknesses; make him to come out and admit his weaknesses on his own.

8. Implementing a Solution

1. You have to give some ideas as to how he can implement the solution in short, medium and long term perspectives and the snags that arise

2. You should also tell him how he can face-up to these snags

3. It is also better to tell him the time frame for the implementation

4. Now you can ask him if he has got anything to say, or any clarifications to make. All his queries must be handled sincerely.

5. Finally thank him for giving an opportunity of being some use to him and hope for strengthening of the mutual relationship; wish him the best and ask him to keep in touch.

9. Follow-up
Whether he calls you or not you keep in touch with him; say hello and find out how useful your advice has been. Once again thank him and wish him well.

Seven Steps in Developing a Winning Concept

Many of you bewail the fact that everything happens around you and you have simply no way of influencing the ultimate result. If you have a concept developed for private life or public life or both, you will be able to take charge and influence the outcome because a well developed concept gives you direction, motivation and tenacity. In this blog post I describe Seven Steps in developing a Winning Concept.

1. Firstly, think about yourself; your ideas, your moods, your feelings, your desires, your strengths and your weaknesses. Now think of the goals you wish to achieve in private life or public life or both. Private life relates to you and your personal side; let us call this as “family”. Public life relates to what you do for a living; your employment or vocation or engagement; let us call this as “business”. Once this is complete you have an idea as to what is the central theme running, something that threads between and amongst all what have been described above.

2. Secondly, you cross to the opposite side; become an imaginary critic of yourself. Start where you ended under step number 1, that is the central theme and subject it to brutal examination. Is your central theme is tenable? Is it bunkum? From there go down to the goals you have set upon. Are these achievable? Are you over-shooting? Go down still further. Your weaknesses, strengths, desires, feelings, moods and ideas do all these truly reflect you? Did you under-state the weaknesses and over-state the strengths? Are you true to yourself when you listed everything about you?

At this point it is better for you to write items 1 & 2 in your note book; you have done the internal analysis; so far so good

3. Thirdly, you are going to look at outside; this time gathering information from books and magazines, observing others similar to you behaving the way they do, listening to those who are similar to you about their feeling, thoughts and actions that made them succeed in life. Once this phase is over, write down a summary of your observations

4. Fourthly, you turn inward to yourself once again; you have already written the pros and cons of everything along with the outside inputs as well. Now it is the time to switch on your inner mind. Go deep and listen to what your inner mind says about the whole thing. If it says “enough” you stop and go to step number 6. If the inner mind says “all what you did so far is not enough and you need to do more work” go to step number 5

5. The fifth step deals with the realm of the un-chartered or un-known. In this step you have to find something that has never occurred to you so far; or observed by you in your dealing with the external parties under step number 3, something that is unimaginable like Windows or Dell to the inventors who founded it for the first time. Both windows and Dell are success stories now but came from this un-chartered and un-known area. You will also come across an idea that would shape your concept after you explore the realm of un-chartered or un-known

6. Once you have the bare concept ready by now, you have to switch –on your Cosmics to further examine whether your concept suits you fine. Each person is born with a different set of Cosmics. Some have predominantly water in their element whereas others have fire. For some certain numbers will work for others the same numbers would not? Certain colours would appeal to some while the same colours make others un-comfortable. Some can work at a stretch for several hours while others need rest and relaxation to continue. The probabilities are endless. Once you analyze your cosmics you will come to an understanding whether the concept you are developing will suit you in the first place

7. The last item is to dry test the concept you have developed and reduce it in few words or a phrase or a single sentence. I give few examples:

Maths Teacher: My concept is “innovative teaching method along with rote learning bent on more class work”

Lawyer: My concept is “tell the truth, nothing but the truth to everyone including my clients”

Old car salesman : My concept is “bring convenience and affordability to the buyer and reasonable price to the seller, keeping my commission intact”

Improve Your Life with Honey

Honey the word of endearment is generally used for a wife or girl friend. It is because you cannot do without her in your life. In similar vein you cannot do without honey, the wonder product of the bees. Both honey and honey make your life sweet not to mention a success

You have already an Honey with you; your wife or girl friend who remains your source of inspiration and support. Likewise, you need Honey, this time the sweet yellowish to golden fluid produced by the honey bees. You will ask me why honey and what it does for me. In this blog post I describe what made me to study honey, the features of honey and the cosmics of honey to improve your life.

What made me to study Honey

About 35 years ago , I was posted as manager of a bank branch in a remote area in the eastern part of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). During weekends, I scoot off to the jungles and parley with aborigines known as Veddhas. Highly hospitable group the Veddhas find their food by hunting. Since hunting animals depend on season and chance they preserve the meat in honey. I have relished on venison and other meats preserved by the number of full moons as they do not use calendars to tell us the time. Honey can preserve contents soaked with it for a long time.

In contrast, I found a different feature; this time not preservation but disintegration, when I travelled to the northern area of Ceylon known as Wanni where settlement of farmers live. I was given a special treat: A part of honey hive with the head of cobra inside. The poor soul has got into the hive with its hood and part of its upper body. Entrapped it was not able to get out. The cobra died; the part outside the bee hive got rotten and has fallen off. The part of cobra inside the beehive was disintegrated into honey. The cobra’s hood was still visible as a film but no physical body could be seen. I joined my hosts to relish on this wonder. What happened to the cobra’s poison? All that was disintegrated perhaps.

Honey, like your wife or girl friend can make you or break you. It can preserve or it can disintegrate. It can make you fat or make you thin. It heals diarrhoea or can increase loose motion. On the top of the line, it boosts your sex drive or dull your libido.

Features

1. Honey is produced by honey bees known as apis mellifera from nectar of flowers in the vicinity of the beehive. A complex regurgitation process takes place where the bees transform nectar into the viscous fluid. The final secretion which was earlier thought to come out of the mouth is now found to come out from the intestines
2. About 35 % densier than water, honey has less water content barring the growth of micro organism; hence it can preserve itself, provided that it is not exposed to oxidisation and fermentation. Honey can attract external ambience such as smell or moisture; that is why it is recommended to store honey in glass or ceramic jars rather than in tins
3. Honey has different types of sugar such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose accounting for about 75 % of its content. The balance 25% consists of minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphate, copper, iron, calcium & manganese, along with carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, various vitamins and water
4. Raw honey is unprocessed, often darker in colour with fragrance and taste that does not appeal to many. It is used mainly for medical and nutritional purposes. Selection of raw honey be left with experts
5. Ripe honey is unprocessed, fresh and ready for various use including consumption. it gives pleasant fragrance and appealing taste
6. Processed honey is what you see in the supermarket shelf. Often it is purified by heating which destroys major part of its contents such as nutrients and minerals.
