Elliptical Bike - Elliptical Numbers

Looks like for a 35 year old it's possible not to be able to count 1 through 100 without committing a mistake. After about 45 minutes of workout, I jumped to 80 from 19 for each of the five trials that I did. I hope as my stamina increases, I will start counting better. 

 Looks like I have improved on my counting just two days after publishing this post. Today on the 9th of January, I seem to be in better health. 

 For so long I have not been much into exercising. I would walk a lot at times but I was never a regular. Of late I started feeling the difficulties of being overweight. I guess the symptoms of ill health was triggered by my habit of putting my laptop on my lap. When I bought a new one recently in UK I had to get it exchanged as the batteries of the Toshiba Satellite was coming of the unit. I realized that Toshiba had brought in the market some antique laptops. 

 I went back to John Lewis to get the crap exchanged for some other brand. As I described the issue the marketing guy saw the issue and was happy to exchange. However, he cautioned me that as per medical findings laptops should never be put on laps. While I was aware of the issue, I had not taken it much seriously until I saw the seriousness on the face of this John Lewis guy. I stopped lapping my laptop. 

 However, it was apparently a late decision. I started having pain running between my knees and my ankle. When I returned to India I expected it to go but it kept increasing. I soon found it difficult to climb to the first floor of our home. I decided to go for some ayurvedic treatments. The ayurveda doctor termed my illness as 'Sandhi Vadam' a kind of rheumatism. His medicines gave me immediate relief. But the symptoms started coming back. Later on I found difficult to deal with the doctor as he turned out to be an alcoholic. He had taken some money in advance and was unable to return. 

 I did some research on the internet about the treatment I took. It soon became clear that a complete recovery is possible however, it has to be combined with exercise. I was finding it difficult to walk and stand at times. I was far from finding a proper exercise. It was then that I discovered that probably an eleptical bike was the best one to start with. I bought one. 

 Now about in two weeks time. I am not only able to go 15 km but have also lost some weight. Looks like life has come back in me again. I guess I will keep updating this post with experience.  

 24 Jan - 534 Calories, 23 Km in 72 minutes and I still feel energetic. I am tired in no way but I am still awaiting to see my weight loss. When I started I was 96 Kg.

Car Key Battery Replacement

If somebody tells you that car key battery replacement would cost you ₹450, and it sounds ridiculous to you, do not let somebody argue against that feeling. A cell for you car key would hardly cost ₹25 - ₹40. All you need to do is buy and replace the old one. However, most people would tend to think that these little devices that interact with your car and keep it safe, are gadgets that you should not meddle with it. Well, give it another thought. If you have a key and it’s duplicate and you need to change both you would end up paying about ₹850 for something that you can manage to do yourself. All these little devices, that do not have screws in them are things you can split open and push them back in place like no harm was ever brought to them. You do not have to be scared of thinking that you would break them. You may break them only if you do not check for orientation on certain bigger devices that may not fit in your palm, but for the smaller ones you can just pull t

Atheism Concepts Change with Geographic Location

1. The educated adopt atheism, due to blind faith in scientific declaration that end up as stupidity due to ignorance of many unconsidered parameters. They now become unanalytic brains, believing that instruments and machines measure everything. 2. The ignorant adopt atheism due his frustration with the false gods that he served. These gods could either be his own version of traditional gods or a god of his own creation. Scientific ideologies is not important to him. He is just escaping blind faith and now for him it is every human knowledge. Both lack or ignore the knowledge of the true higher power, that is the Almighty, and God of all things. Every sinner would misrepresent Jesus. The Bible talks about who God really is.

The Con and the Conch shell

The recent video on WhatsApp of the peculiar behavior of a conch shell, that finds it way to the surface when buried under a sack of rice grains may make some believe that the conch in itself has magical powers. The idea may not be farfetched as it's used as device to please gods in some of the eastern cultures in religious rituals. Some minds may immediately think that the shape of the conch itself may make the rice grains flow underneath the shell and since the flow must happen from the vicinity of the shell itself this would happen along it's surface and ultimately from it's top thus pushing the shell upward. In the west people would use computer graphics and probably fix camera to the conch shell to see the ground reality. Now if all those scientific experiments leave people clueless, the chemical engineers might pitch in to investigate if the shell reacts with the rice to form any gas that fill up the shell from the bottom and makes it rise above the rice in w
