This is an amazing article about how brain can regenerate and change according to our thoughts. Unlike before neurologists used to look at the brain as just a dumb machine, but it's not, since being of the organic nature, it can produce new neurons to connect to new patterns, even enable functions that were dead before. This is exactly what Yoga has been talking which is now a recognized fact by modern science. Read on...

You Can Retrain Your Brain
BY SARAHSCOTT
On a fine day in September 1995, Howard Rocket, a hard-working 48-year-old entrepreneur, leaped for a pass in a friendly football game in Toronto, Canada. He slipped and fell, hitting the back of his head, and a minute later came to with an awful, ever worsening headache. Then, dark spots floated into his field of vision. He ignored these things until three weeks later, when he was home alone and suddenly lost control of his arms and legs. A sharp, deep pain pierced his head and darkness closed in. He groped his way to the phone, slowly tapped the emergency number, then collapsed.
Rocket's brain had been attacked by 'a basilar thrombotic stroke, in which a clot blocks blood flow to the brain stem. This kills most people, but Rocket was saved by doctors who injected him with a clot-busting drug. In the days that followed, though, their prognosis was grim: Rocket would never regain the use of his left arm, leg or foot. His muscles were fine, but the parts of his brain that directed them were seriously damaged. In other words, he'd better get used to a wheelchair.
Determined to prove the doctors wrong, Rocket began rigorous physiotherapy. If he made his left foot move over and over again, he figured, eventually the undamaged cells of his brain would find a way to tell the foot what to do. After he learnt to stand, he strapped his left foot to the pedal of a stationary bike at the gym, then started pedalling. On the first day, he lasted only 30 seconds—but he persisted. It was like doing sit-ups for the brain. Twelve years later, after thousands of hours in the gym, Rocket danced on both feet. His doctors were amazed. "It was dramatic," says Dr Robert Willinsky, the neuroradiologist who saved Rocket's life with the clot-buster. "He's a poster child, for sure."
It turned out Rocket's hunch was right: It is possible to retrain your brain to make up for the part that's out of order. A generation ago, that idea was dismissed as folly by most medical practitioners. They thought the adult brain was like a machine: It couldn't change or grow; all it could do was break down. But over the past few decades, brain scans such as the PET and functional MRI (fMRi) have allowed scientists to observe this organ Ln action. Now they can see that the conventional thinking about the brain was wrong.
If one part of tin' brain is injured, especially the cerebral cortex (the outer layer, which processes the signals for perception and movement), often another part can he trained to take over. It takes diligent practice, sometimes over years. But scientists tell us that thinking and engaging in activity can physically alter the brain, a concept they call "neuroplasticity." "We now know that when we have thoughts, we rewire the so-called hardware in our brains," says Toronto psychiatrist Dr Norman Doidge.
And from these physical changes come functional changes. In his book, The Brain That Changes Itself, Doidge writes, "I met a scientist who enabled people who had been blind since birth to begin to see; another who enabled the deaf to hear. I met people whose learning disorders were cured and whose IQs were raised; I saw evidence that it is possible for 80-year-olds to sharpen their memories to function the way they did when they were 55. I saw people rewire their brains with their thoughts, to cure previously incurable obsessions and traumas." These changes were brought about by repeated mental exercise.
In other words, thinking can change the way the brain works.
University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson demonstrated this very theory with his experiment on meditation—a prime example of "mental sit-ups." He measured the brain activity of novices/and highly practised Buddhist monks, and found that, unlike the novices, when the monks meditated on "unconditional loving-kindness and compassion," they generated powerful gamma waves— the type involved in higher brain processes like perception and consciousness. Thus, the repeated mental activity of meditation altered brain functioning
Meditation can also have a powerful effect on how we deal with physical sensations like pain. Melissa Munroe, a former national-champion bodybuilder, learned at age 30 that the egg-size lump in her throat was Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her condition was so advanced that her doctors told her, "You have cancer everywhere, from your head to your toes," and gave her three months to live. She chose to fight, but the pain from the tumours pressing on her organs was excruciating, even for an athlete accustomed to pushing her physical limits. So she turned to a psychiatrist, Dr Tatiana Melnyk, who taught her how to use her mind to ease the pain.
Pain is a physical sensation, Melnyk explained to her, but Munroe's emotional response to it was amplifying it. So Melnyk advised her to focus only on the physical aspect of the pain: "Don", judge it; just sit with it," she said.
By thinking in this disciplined way, Munroe could manage the way her brain dealt with the sensation of pain: She'd feel it but wouldn't be controlled by it. "It was something I was experiencing," she says, "but it wasn't me. Defining the pain helped me to compartmentalize it and therefore not be overwhelmed by it."
Munroe defied the odds: Thanks to intensive chemotherapy—including a dose so heavy that she collapsed in her apartment and was revived with CPR by her sister—as of 2006 she was cancer-free after six years. And she still practises meditation.
How, exactly, can repeated thoughts or activities alter the brain? For one, they can affect DNA. Research, mostly done in the 1980s and 1990s, shows that thinking, learning and acting can turn our genes on or off. No one knows for sure how this occurs, but, Doidge states, "when you think thoughts repeatedly, you turn on genes to make proteins that change the structure of the neurons and increase the number of connections between brain cells." In essence, neurons become better communicators.
The brain can also produce new neurons. In his lab at Canada's University of Lethbridge, neuroscientist Bryan Kolb demonstrated this ability in rats by bringing on strokes to cause brain damage. He and his colleagues showed that if growth factor was given to the rats, their brains could not only make new brain cells but could also use these cells to help rebuild the physical and functional aspects that were damaged. And the researchers made another stunning discovery: In the two weeks following injury, a rat's newborn brain cells migrate to the damage site and wait for orders. If these cells are properly stimulated, they can start functioning and help the brain regain its ability to do things—such as direct a leg to lift.
Kolb's work underlines just how important rehabilitation is for the injured brain. Now scientists are investigating whether the stimulation that rehab provides might increase the production of new brain cells and speed up recovery.
One of the brain's "neuron nurseries" is in the hippocampus, which plays a key part in memory function. In one study, scientists at the University of Toronto used chemical "tags" to trace naturally occurring newborn brain cells in healthy mice, then taught the animals to swim to a platform. After plenty of practice, the mice "remembered" where the platform was. When the scientists later examined the animals' brains, they found that the new brain cells had been recruited for the memory task—that is, the chemically tagged newborn cells were concentrated in the hippocampus "nurseries."
And they found that newborn brain cells started boosting memory after only one month. According to Paul Frankland, the Toronto neuroscientist who led this research, studies show that the environment affects how many new brain cells arise. Cocaine and stress, for instance, cut the rate of neuron creation; running and educational activities increase it.
What the scientific world calls "neuroplasticity," 21-year-old Ian Bradley calls "hope." When he was in the seventh standard, he couldn't yet read and his spelling was standard four level. "I thought I was a dummy," he says. His mother, Mary, pushed him through elementary school by spending four hours a night reading textbooks to him and writing down his answers to homework questions.
Then Bradley's father discovered Arrowsmith School. Its founder, Barbara Arrowsmith Young, was at one time a student with profound learning disabilities that made it hard for her to understand what she was reading or what people were saying. So she devised mental exercises to help retrain her brain—and overcame her disabilities. She then developed more of these exercises to help others with learning dysfunctions; the Arrowsmith program is now offered in schools across North America.
Bradley spent three years at the school in Toronto, doing cognitive exercises such as tracing letters and matching symbols, over and over again. "It's so tiring, it just kills you," he says. But by the end, he could read at a standard eight level. And, recently, he passed high school, his performance having improved so much that he got a distinction. He is aiming for a career as a pilot. "Before, life was so bleak," he says. "Now the sky's the limit, literally."
New discoveries about the brain give tremendous hope to many: victims of stroke dealing with the loss of brain function, those struggling with chronic pain, young people with learning disabilities. "We are just scratching the surface of the mechanisms through which the brain can change, and how areas of the brain can take on new responsibilities," says Dr Andres Lozano, the neurosurgeon who helped to save Howard Rocket's life.
Now doctors and researchers are beginning to understand that the go-getter entrepreneur Howard Rocker was right, after all. Repeated exercises—mental and physical—can change your brain. And your life.
This is a typical case of dhaapping (copying) images from the internet (don't we all). But think twice about what you do with them. Here is a restaurant owner Mario Bertuccio, whose Grazie shop specializes in Italian food imports, straight off took a family's photo from the internet and used it for his shop advertising. A friend of theirs got quite a shock when he spotted a life size photo of his friends plastered on the shop billboard.
So two lessons to learn here kids...
1. When copying copy smart (I know I'm writer...lol)
2. When posting images online be a little careful you never know where it'll end up.
Windows 7 new artwork is so unlike what Microsoft. I'm glad they are adding a breath of fresh air and atleast dont appear to be corporate hardasses with showing fun stuff in Windows itself.
There are various artists who contributed to this work, here are the most notable samples
Wow an artist really did create an invisible car...well more like a camouflaged car, but really neat. Sara Watson, 22-year-old student at the University of Central Lancashire spray painted a battered Skoda Fabia to match the car park and entrance to her art studio. Good thing it's battered because other cars sure will be banging her....err...car!
As soon as read this in the Times of India, I had to quickly check it out, funnily Times never showed the image of it and therefore I wouldn't have blogged about it.
For those who know about my accident, here is the "Official Story" as to how I broke my little finger a.k.a Mr.Pinky. Well we lost our ultra-light pool ball to play with, so some wise guy thought of "Hey let's play with a football instead", well little did they realize that a football + a wussy catcher like me would lead to BOOM...a broken pinky.
I wish I had the snaps of the broken finger which turned 60 degrees left, but I'm really glad I had the presence of mind to put it back in place immediately (let that be a lesson kids). Never thought it would be a "Complete fracture".
Well for those who are already bored with the blah-blah, here is a a graphical and often comical run down of what happened :D

Ever thought about how much energy/CO2 does free stuff, in this case Spam emit? I never thought about it either, how can spam cost environmental issues, well everything has a price and a study conducted by McAfee proves it, here's an interesting excerpt.
In the same line of thought, do you know where your energies are consumed during the day, in what thoughts, behaviour, etc? This is what the ancient yogis always talked about and that is what pranayama helps one bring under control. Pranayama is not about breathing but rather the control of mind through breath, the entire yoga is about controlling the mind (entire being actually) and after conquering it, moving beyond it- to our true nature.
"The average business email user is responsible for 131 kg of CO2 per year in email-related emissions, and 22 percent of that figure is spam-related. This spam energy is equivalent to the emissions that would result if every business email user burned an extra 3.3 gallons of gasoline annually.
The energy required annually to create, send, receive, store and view spam adds up to more than 33 billion kWh, approximately equivalent to four gigawatts of baseload power generation or the power provided by four large new coal power plants. ICF estimates spam-related emissions for all email users at an annual total of 17 million metric tons of CO2 or 0.2 percent of the total global CO2 emissions — a number equivalent to emissions from approximately 1.5 million U.S. homes."
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Just came across a nice site Criticker in Mumbai Mirror today morning. The site lets you rank films and then according to your tastes, views other members that like the same movies, so if another member has close to lets say 70% of films that s/he has seen, then that member's movie listing are worth a look. Like-mindedness in films if what this site is about. Though I think the site needs a fresher look! Why don't you all come on that , so we can share our movie lists.
