EXERCISES FOR UPPER BACK PAIN

· Cross hands over chest and rotate them.
· Hold a stick behind the neck and rotate the trunk.
· Standing back towards the wall, sliding arms on the wall.
· Prone-raise both arms.
· Wall push-ups.
· Rowing exercise with stretch hand.
· Shoulder shrugs(with barbell/band)
· Lateral rows-holding band and raising sideways.

The neck and upper back region is an extremely complex area of the body because of many joints working in coordination.
Most treatments usually are not effective as they only address the symptoms not the cause of the affliction. Hence exercise is advised.

CRAVING FOR TITLES

There is no stronger craving in the world

than that of the rich for titles,

except perhaps that of the titled for riches.

LEADERS: LEARN FROM OBAMA

TAKE A CUE FROM OBAMA

The US President-elect Mr. Baraka Obama has named senator Ms. Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, who was till the other day his rival, a candidate in the race for presidential nomination. Further, he has decided to retain Mr. Robert Gates as Defence Secretary who has served several Republican administrations.
Are such arrangement possible in India? In theory, it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister to select and appoint the members of his Cabinet. But in India, merit rarely prevails. We wish that wisdom of Mr. Obama dawns on our leaders too.

(Letter to editor of The Tribune by Bharat Kumar Gupta, Khanna

GREATEST PLEASURE

The world’s greatest pleasure

is in sharing

what
we have with the unfortunate.
“Giving

is
the highest expression of potency;
In the very act of giving,
I experience myself as overflowing, spending,
alive. Hence joyous.”

HAPPINESS

Those who lack patience,
lack the art of enjoying happiness.

Only a life lived for others
is a life worthwhile

DESPAIR

If you’re feeling low,

don’t despair.

The sun has a sinking spell

every night,

But it comes back

up

every morning.

HAPPINESS

Happiness is the only good.

The place to be happy is here;

The time to be happy is now

the way to be happy is to help others

Joy comes galloping to the help of him,’
Who makes another person happy.

CHARITY

He who earns,

and

gives some of it away,
O Nanak,

he has found the right way.

INNER VOICE

He who hears

the inner voice

within him,
Has no need

to listen to

others’ words

GREED

There is enough

for

satisfying everyone’s basic needs,

but not for satisfying

even one man’s greed.

BOOKS AND WISDOM

Collection of books
is not
knowledge or wisdom.
It is the application
of the knowledge and wisdom
contained in them.
Cllection
of bricks cannot
be called a building.
Bricks need to be
used with wisdom
to build
a building or house.

CREDIT WORTHINESS

Credit should be preserved

at all costs,

Once lost,

it will be very difficult to recover it

“Credits is like a looking glass,

which,

when once sullied by

a breath,

may be wiped clear again;

But

if once cracked can never be

repaired.

HABIT CULTIVATION

I give people
What they want
In hope

They will begin to want
What I want
To give them

PLEASING OTHERS

I give people
What they want
In hope

HAPPINESS

Why destroy present happiness

by a distant misery

which may never come at all,

or you may never live to see it?

Every substantial grief

has

twenty shadows

and

most of the shadows

are

of your own making.

Time heals quietly, slowly

and

certainly.

VALUE THE VISITOR

He who come to you
At the cost of time;
Respect his wishes
Without reason or rhyme.

PRAYERS

Your prayers
are never lost.
They are always answered.
It is a question of time as to when you realize it.

“Never was a faithful prayer lost-
some prayers have a longer voyage than others,
but then
they return with their richer lading at last,
so that the praying soul
is
a gainer by waiting for an answer.

EXPERIENCE

“However

learned or eloquent,

man knows nothing truly

what he had not learned

from experience.”

HATRED

HATRED VS. LOVE

Hatred paralyses LIFE,

love releases it.

Hatred confuses life,

love harmonises it.

Hatred darkens life,

love illuminates it.

IF the ego rises,

all else will also rise.

If it subsides,

all else will also subside.

PARDON

Pardon all men,

but not thyself.

Pardon is

the most

glorious revenge.

WORLD IS STAGE

All the world is a stage

and

all the men and women merely players.

They have their exit and their entrances.

Any one man in his life plays many parts,

his act being seven stages.

No garments can conceal character.

The man comes out sooner or later.

TRUST

Trust men,

and

they will be true

to you.

Treat them greatly,

and

they will show themselves great.

Paradise lies in the shadow of swords.

BEST TEACHER

Experience is the best teacher.

It is the extract of suffering.

“It is one of the sad conditions of life

that experience is not transmissible,

no man will learn from the suffering of another.

He must suffer himself.

TRUE MAN

He is truly a man,

who

has made money his slave.

He is not fit to be called a man

who

does not know how to make use of money.

“ Man lives to add more

and

yet more to his wisdom

and

not to multiply his material possessions

beyond proportion.

Things, material cannot be put to more use of

than the requirement.

Men first acquire material possession

at the cost

of health and happiness which nature

has given,

thereafter they,

use material possessions to acquire

health and happiness.

Sanskar

Sanskar

is

an outward sin

of

the inward

spiritual grace..

GREAT THOUGHTS-38

The world

is a moral

and

spiritual

gymnasium.

TRUE EDUCATION

It is no use

giving children just education.

You should give them joy.

“If you want children to grow well,

try and give them as much joy as possible.

Merely giving the so-called education

is like putting

manure at the roots of a tree

which is

without a sunlight.

The sun is strong,

the rain is plentiful

and i

in spite of the goats,

the forests grow.

Likewise,

in spite of errors of parents and teachers,

children flourish.”

ADD CHARM

What adds to the charm
of one’s character?

“Small kindness,
small courtesies,
small considerations
habitually practiced in our
social interaction,

give

a grater charm

to the character

than

the display of

great talents

and

accomplishments.”

SWEET PATIENCE

Sweet

are

the fruits

of patience.

VACATIONS

VACATION & Historic Places

Everyone loves to go on vacation! People visit different places and do different things when on a vacation. People on a holiday, travel to distant parts of the world to see great buildings or other works of art, to learn new languages, to experience new cultures, to participate in or watch sports, to taste new cuisines and for many more different reasons.

Historical or heritage tourism is a branch of tourism oriented towards the cultural heritage of the location where tourism is occurring. Culture and history has always been a major object of travel. Cultural heritage includes buildings and historic places, monuments, artifacts etc., that are considered worthy of preservation for the future. These include objects significant to archaeology, architecture, science or technology of a specific culture. Smaller objects such as artworks and other cultural masterpieces are collected in museums and art galleries. The tourists interested in historical travel seek adventure, culture, history, archaeology and interaction with local people. This type of tourism involves visiting historical sites, buildings, museums etc. The overall purpose is to gain an appreciation of the past.

Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle. Many historic places have shows where the historical events have been dramatized to make them more entertaining. Every place in the world has a history but some places are more known for their historical past like Europe, Chine, India etc. These places have monuments and artifacts dating back to hundreds of centuries and they draw a huge number of tourists.

sometimes it is guilt.

GREAT THOUGHTS-35

WANDERING MIND

You should not allow

mind

to wander about

as it would become so.

A HAPPY MARRIAGE

A happy marriage

is the union of

two good forgivers.

Best advice to unmarried girls:

Marry someone you don’t mind adjusting to.

God tailors the wife to fit the husband,

not the husband to fit the wife.

Good Wives

are

young men’s mistresses,

companions for middle age,

and old man’s nurses.

KNOW IT

If a man is worth knowing at all,

he is worth knowing well.

Nothing great was ever achieved

without

enthusiasm.

the whole of religion,

other things are secondary.

He

who

has

never

despair.

Cunningness

is

a short blanket.

If you pull it over your face,

“Knowledge

is

a process

of

piling up facts;

wisdom

lies in their

simplification.”

GREAT THOUGHTS-30

He that boasts

of his own knowledge

proclaims his own ignorance,

says a German proverb.

To be conscious

that you are ignorant

is a great step to knowledge and intelligence,

Martin H. Fischer says.

The infallible man

is

yet to be born.

Some so called

open minds

should be closed

for repairs.

The man

who gets the most of it

may not get the best of it.

is

a wonderful source

of

cheerfulness.

Efficiency means

accomplishing more

with

less exertion

IMPORTANCE OF MONEY

Money can buy a bed;

not the sleep

Money can buy medicine;

not relief
Money can buy books;

not the knowledge

Money can buy the services of a doctor

but not health

Money can buy slaves

not the braves

Money attracts flatterers and sycophants

not true friends

MEMORY OR UNDERSTANDING

Anyone

who

in discussion

relies upon authority uses,

not his understanding,

but rather his memory.
Leonardo Da Vinci.

A LEADER'S RESOLUTION

in a little Iberian village

than

second in Rome.

a composite of our habits.

Because they are consistent,

often unconscious patterns,

they constantly, daily,

express our character.
Stephen R. Covey

THE GREAT INDIAN LEADERS

You cannot shake hands

with clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi

The purely agitation attitude

is not good enough

for a detailed consideration of a subject.

If you don’t ask you don’t get.
Mahatma Gandhi

ANGER

Whatever is begun in anger,
ends in shame.
Benjamin Franklin

When angry, count four;

BEFOOLING

You can fool

all the people some of the time,

and some of the people all the time,

but

you can’t fool

all the people all the time.

LAW OF ATTRACTION

Judge not

and you shall not be judged.

Condemn not,

and you shall not be condemned.

Forgive and you shall be forgiven.

TOP OF SUCCESS

It is just as hard

to stay at the top

as it is to get there.

EGO

Egotism should be shed BY everybody

because otherwise one cannot get enlightenment.

“The sun can give heat and light

to the whole world

but it cannot do so

when the clouds shut out his rays.

Similarly, as long as

egotism veils the heart,

God cannot shine upon it.”

SAVING

A man can be valued

through his savings.

SAVING

A man can be valued

through his savings.

LABOUR

Everyone should labour hard,

the only exception being the disable.

“Millionaires who ate without work were parasites.

Even they should eat by the sweat of their brow

or should go without food.

The only permissible exception was

the disabled for whom society provided.”

HALF HAPPINESS

What is the difference

between

happiness and half happiness

“ A few more smiles and silence,

sympathy,

a few more tender words

of little more restraint on temper.”

UNCONTROLLABLE MIND

“The human mind is like a package of mustard seeds.

As it is very difficult to gather the seeds

that escape out of a torn package,

so when the human mind runs into

diverse directions and is occupied

with many worldly things,

it is not very easy

to collect and concentrate on it.”

PATIENCE GIVES SUCCESS

One who adopts patience

will never be deprived of success,

though success may take

a long time to reach him.

BIG MISTAKE

KILLING THE FRIENDSHIP

To let friendship die away

by negligence and

silence is certainly not wise.

It is voluntarily to throw away

one of the greatest comforts

of this weary pilgrimage.

NEW YEAR

In the new year,

may your right hand

always be stretched out

in friendship,

but never in want.

CHILD AND YOU

Nothing in the world attracts man,

as much as the love of a child.

It’s not imposing;

it doesn’t arouse fear.

It’s tender and sweet

and has a spontaneous charm

and a trusting liking for everyone.

BUSY WITHOUT WORK

A bee is never busy as it seems;

It’s just that

It can’t buzz any slower.

HEAVEN AND YOU

As one is, so he sees.

If you show love to others,

you get it back in a greater measure even.

“By loving whatever is lovable in those around us,

love will flow back from them to us

and life will become a pleasure instead of pain.

And earth will become heaven.

CRIME

Crime is a kind of disease

and

should be treated as such.

VARIETY

There can be nothing more boring in life than uniformity.

Variety is the spice of life it is said.

"Tolerance of diversity is imperative,

because without it,

life would lose its savour.

Progress in the arts, in the sciences from diversity

epends upon tolerance of individual

deviations from conventional ways and attitudes.”

World is made up of different cultures and religions.

Their different approaches to life give more spice to life.

Let's enjoy this diversity by believing, " all belongs to one God."

We shall be more happy.

SILENCE

Better to remain silent and be thought “ a fool”

than to speak out and remove all doubt.

ATTACHMENT

Do not be very much attached to worldly possessions

because they are temporary in nature, besides not belonging to you.

“Seemingly own worldly things; but have an attachment to them.

As the maid-servant can with ease relinquish here

THE assumed ownership of master’s property,

Be prepared for separation from earthly possessions.”

BRAVE HEARTED

LION OR SHEEP

It’s better to be a lion for a day

than a sheep all your life.

FAULT FINDING

See only the good in everybody,

shun the faultfinding habit.

Peep into your own heart,

it may be full of faults.FAULT FINDING
