Right Punishment is the one that change/transforms a person

There are many activities that are brought in India culture with a reason. But whereever the reason is not understood, there is always a chance that either it will lead to a trend that causes problem or will vanish over time.

One of the habit that prevailed in India is making "Thoppu Karanam" (in Tamil) in front of Lord Ganesha. The way of doing it can be understood by watching the following video about Super Brain Yoga in http://www.a2zyoga.com/blog/2010/05/07/super-brain-yoga%C2%AE/. Either kids who does something wrong at home or school was asked to do this as a punishment. Right punishment is only the one that changes or transforms any one who does the mistake. That is the reason why the kids are asked to do. If that is the case, can we all do atleast few times in the morning and evening to make ourselves changed. Whether it is elder person or children, we have a lot to learn till we die. No human can be there without mistakes and there is always lot to improve.

We must appreciate people doing it as they want to progress towards a better change and the kids can be asked to do this in the morning and evening in the schools. Teacher can give all the feedbacks that a student have to improve upon.

Power Saving Game for Computer Users in Office

I cannot expect the whole world to change in front of my eyes.

Hmm... Let me start changing. I am not expecting the change from you. But you will definitely change :-)

I have noticed the volunteers - mostly kids or youngsters signalling me to switch on the headlight of my two wheeler - even though it started with reasons like "It gives a wrong signalling , power saving" - it saves our battery life. When this can be brought into a culture, why can't we think of power saving from system usage into culture. If that is the case, why don't we walk in midst of the cubicles and switch off the monitors as a game and walk for the lunch. It is also a good walking exercise & opportunity to socialize. Keep the highest count of monitors you have switched off per month. We should be proud of playing such a game as monitor is the part that consumes maximum power in the computer. This is already explained in one of the presentation from President Abdul Kalam. Even though this is circulated among our friends, we have not done it. If you are the person who liked to hit the stone when you walk - when you were young, you will definitely enjoy this game. Of course, we all walked in a road where there is less traffic and current kids miss this game because of the traffic. We can play this game while going for lunch / returning to home. Let us play, be proud, spread the power saving culture. Let us not spread this link as simply forwarding without following does not help.
