“Reese sucked in a breath and played faster, hurling the anger through his fingers until it spun all his
fear, all his rage, into the gentle voice of music.”
― Willowy Whisper

Vocals and guitar being a parallel mate:

Being able to play the guitar and sing at the same time makes the performance much more engaging for the audience, and allows everyone to get involved. Furthermore, if you’re a working musician, it’s easier to get a gig if you can do both. Depending on how experienced you are, playing the guitar and singing at the same time may be easier for some than it is for others. Play the guitar part of the song you’re learning over and over again without singing.

“The history of music is mortal, but the idiocy of the guitar is eternal.”

Evolution of guitar:
The exact origin of the guitar is still a mystery. The word “guitar” probably comes from the ancient Greek word κιθάρα (kithara). Mythology attributes Hermes with creating the first kithara from a tortoise shell, but many likenesses of Apollo show him with this instrument. The ancient musician typically played the strings with a plectrum, which is an early version of the modern pick. The player would use his or her left-hand fingers to dampen unwanted strings and, at times, stop the strings or produce harmony with their left hand. Solo musicians would sometimes pluck the strings with the fingers of both hands.

Shapes of guitar from prehistory to history:

The history of the guitar generally goes back to two instruments, the oud and the lute, which predate written history. The evolution of Spanish guitars settled by the 1790s; they had the standard body type and six courses of strings that resemble the modern guitar but were smaller. Spanish musician and guitar maker Antonio de Torres Jurado changed all that in the mid-1800s when he created the style of guitar that gave rise to all guitars to follow. His guitars featured a broadened body, thinned belly and increased curve at the waist. He also replaced wooden tuning pegs with a machined head. 

  • “The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself.”

Father  Of  Vedic Maths And His Operations:

Shri  Bharati Krishna Tirathji  is called the father of vedic Maths. He took to self-realization at Shringeri Matha with the guidance of Shri Shankracharya, Shri Sachidananda Shiva Abhinava Narsimha Saraswati, He spent  7 years in deep meditation and study of Vedanta and lived the life of a Sadhu from 1911 to 1918. During this period, the 16 Sutras of Vedic Maths were made.After a brilliant University career he became a lecturer in Mathematics and Science in the Baroda College. Thereafter he became Principal of National College in Rajamundary, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaIn 1905 when the Freedom movement started in Bengal, Bharti Krishnaji participated in the freedom movement along with Shri Aurobindo Ghosh and Gopal Krishna Gokhale – an ardent nationalist. Bharti Krishnaji wrote to numerous newspapers propagating the freedom movement. He was also appointed “Warden of the Sons of India” by Dr.Annie Besant in 1908.

Algebra and multiplication are separated by a wall. One must work extensively with arithmetic before venturing onto algebra, and the same applies to other aspects of math, that one must be “conquered” before the next concept is addressed.

Vedic Math And Its Ideology

The most important feature of the Vedic Mathematics system of learning is its logical methodology. For example, the Nikhilam method in subtraction, the subtraction technique of all from nine and last from 10 does not require children to write the whole numerical question in a vertical order to do subtraction questions. With lesser time and lesser steps, it helps them solve it saving a lot of time. This is very easy to pick up. In the general multiplication method, for example, it is easily reversed to allow one-line divisions, and the simple squaring method can be reversed to show one-line square roots.  Hence we see that it makes maths easy and one can do it with speed. There are many tricks for Vedic  Maths for Faster Calculations.

Math is about getting the right answer – Adding and subtracting/math is about understanding patterns.
Complex math involves complex reasoning and laborious effort. – Recognizing underlying patterns can speed the process.

The Kind Of Methodology Vedic Maths Reflects:

Vedic Mathematics Methods of doing Maths helps to solve difficult sums easily and quickly. And these are systematic methods implying these are far easier than conventional methods taught in the school. It reduces a lot of steps for children and thereby increases their speed of calculation making them competitive. Hence it school competitions and Olympiads kids trained with this system of learning do better than other otherwise. Nowadays the interest in Vedic System of Learning is growing a lot. The children are comfortably applying Vedic Sutras in Geometry, Calculus, Computing Etc.It is said “Practice Makes the Man Perfect” , the more you practice the better is the speed of calculation and mental maths of the students.

The Vedic approach enables people to experiment creatively with several approaches.

Reflection Of Vedic Maths In Real Life:

Vedic maths is completely accomplished in mind. Vedic math also begins at a primary level of numbers and slowly advances to easy additions, subtractions, multiplications and division. It takes of much more beyond the fundamental calculations. With Vedic methods, one can also figure out problematic

In looking at the valley surrounded by mountains, I think it is best to view the valley as our own consciousness, the mountains as the immensity of different practical tasks in the world, and the paths of our intuitive reasoning. On the other side, unbeknownst to most of us still, is a boundless sea of understanding that can be skillfully navigated by Vedic wisdom.

Test Your Intelligence: Chess As A Hobby

Posted on Author Asmita

Chess is often said to have its origin in an ancient Hindu game that was known as chaturanga. It is essentially played by two players on a checkerboard of 64 squares. The game is played using 16 pieces. Chess is not just a mere indoor game but it is a way of testing your intelligence and is an extremely popular hobby among the youth, as well as old people. 

The game of chess is often regarded as a replica of life and it teaches its players the most important lessons of life. Chess teaches us that you cannot achieve victory without having losses. Those who win also suffer some losses and there’s nothing one can do about it other than embracing the truth and moving on. Moreover, it also teaches us that life is full of surprises and however hard you try to control everything that happens to you, there will be times when you would get shocked by certain happenings that you hadn’t predicted. However carefully you plan your next move, you’re going to face unforeseen situations. 

Every piece of the chessboard moves in different directions and has individual significance. The only way to have a grip over the game is to practice it frequently and memorize the rules by heart. Your focus at all times should be protecting your king, while at the same time keeping an eye on the king piece of your opponent and attacking it at the right opportunity. It is an intellectually stimulating game because of a lot of reasons. You need to focus on multiple things together and try and predict the next step of your opponent based on the placement of their pieces. 

One major mistake that players often make is that while trying to attack and take control of their opponent, they end up leaving their king piece without proper security, thereby providing a chance to their opponent to win. You should never do this. You should pay equal attention to your pieces as well as those of your opponent. Another important aspect to remember is that you should never waste your chances on unnecessary moves. Every move is important for you to win and you shouldn’t waste your chance in a hurry. Once you understand the intricacies of the game, it’s going to be one of your best hobbies for life. 

Change Your Vision: How Hobbies Sharpen Our Mind

Posted on Author Ritika Vij

In our hectic daily lives, it is imperative to take time to wind down and recharge our mental and physical batteries.
Also equally important is doing a few activities or hobbies that help you enhance your mental function and capabilities, whether for professional or personal reasons. How we spend our free time can be crucial to the rest of our lives.
Hobbies that stimulate our mind can help us not only relax but also become smarter, wiser and more resilient in the process. Here we talk about how hobbies sharpen our minds in multiple ways.

Painting Can Be A Great Therapy
  • Hobbies Give Us Something Else To Focus On

Hobbies give us something to focus on that is not related to work. For instance, if you play bowling, you can set a goal to beat your personal best score. That goal motivates you, gives you something to strive for that is stress-free (unlike career goals) and takes your mind off your concerns. This is one of the main reasons why hobbies are important.
To take advantage of this, choose an interest with inherent goals and one that is not related to work and helps take the mind off work. Some hobbies increase productivity by making us use time more efficiently.

  • Hobbies Teach Us Scheduling

Another benefit of hobbies for evolving the mindset and sharpening the mind is that they train us to schedule our time, and this makes us more productive. Scheduling activities in this way forces us to work more efficiently on other things. Science tells us that when we give ourselves more time to finish work, we intentionally use all that time even if we don’t need to. In other words, give yourself eight hours to tie a knot, and you will take eight hours tying a knot.

Capturing The Beauty.
  • Hobbies Exercise The Brain

Another way how hobbies help us sharpen our minds is that they exercise the brain. Many people get stuck in a repetitive routine, doing the same thing continually. Workaholics, for instance, are always working, and most forms of work only include a set number of mental activities. Undoubtedly, a career in finance tests our math and business skills, but there are many areas of the brain that are not used at all. Hobbies can sharpen your mind and complement your work life in numerous and extraordinary ways.
