Seven things about me

I have got tagged and I am writing seven things about me as per the conditions of being tagged. I won a badge as a bargain. The Blogger Award badge you see below Liebster's Blog badge.

1. I lead a routine life.
2. I am bound by nature's plan. Magnetic field, count of trees, movement of bodies etc.
3. The latest songs I downloaded are Atif Aslam (Aadat and Main mari jaawan), Usha Uthup (Doston Se Pyaar kiya) and Dhrupad by Dagar brothers (Kafi ki Hori - Kesar Ghar ke Rang Bano Hai). 
4. I have built an Android App of my blogs and have installed in Motorola mobile.
5. I like wearing good and clean dresses.
6. I keep my nails trimmed and I shave daily.
7. I brush my shoes everyday.

So that is it !!

The Body and Otherwise

Your palm in the hand has gaps and fingers. The gaps are 1 (thumb and first finger gap) and 3 (the gaps between four fingers). Similar is the other hand. 1 and 3. When we bring two hands nearby, then the gaps become 9 and the fingers 10. (I am explaining numbers using e constant).
These two hands together needs to give 9 or 10.
One formula is , 1 squared plus 3 squared. Which gives 10. Pythagoras.
The other formula is 1 plus 3. Let us say it gives 9. This means it is 1 plus 3 equals 3 squared. This expression is similar to Golden Ratio equation.
How about this ?

Back to Clinical Fitness

I wrote in the other blog that if Jogging and Dumbbells at home is self-medication, then gym is medication in a clinic. Now, I have joined the gym again. The same Enigma Fitness. For 3 months.
I feel more comfortable and better in gym.
I shall write more on strategies and workout plans later, as and when I discover something significant.

A 9 kmph base speed runner !!

Nowadays it is more or less above 9 kmph running in the mornings. I do this running (not jogging, mind it !!) after I do dumbbells workout.
I do the following dumbbells exercises :-
Biceps curls, Shoulder Lifts, Triceps Back Lifts, Deadlifts, Bench press ; all these for 6 sets of 17, 13, 11, 7, 5, 3 reps. I also do squats with weights for 7, 5, 3 reps.
Protein drinks are happening, but many days I forget drinking them. I am continuing with utmost discipline in my regular food intake. Peanut slices for breakfast, chappati with vegetables for lunch and rice with vegetables at night. I do not take anything else in between.
My tummy is of a healthy Delhi guy of 45 years level. Flat and strong tummy muscles with a flab of 2 inches at the most.
I am mostly active and undergo calorie deficit. Also I am getting used to this. But that is how our body is. If you work you need rest. You may want to reduce fat, but then your metabolism may become low.  It is a battle of pros and cons and ultimately your interest in exercising matters.

My Dream IT Projects

I am an engineer working in IT. I am closely following the trends and growth in IT. The recent good idea I liked was tourist places based social sites. Another idea I read today in Economic Times is about the work done by Zoho. They are into building customer relationship. Probably they try to give a meaning of social sites to the system in an enterprise.
I have a few ideas on possible IT trends in future:-
1) Read object - This object should be highly polymorphed and should be able to read all languages, all types of files, namely video, audio etc. Also it should have AI and understand comma separated files.
2) More Peer to Peer - Though internet has promoted equality in the world and peer to peer technology, the range is restricted. Facebook promotes equality. But then there is a question of fairness too. The Measuring Behavior (http://measuringbehaviour-ravi.blogspot.com) can be an added dimension to the meaning of Internet.
3) Responsible Queues - Social sites can also help in queue management. E-governance will become easier with this. A person from one social group can recommend an advancement in queue to another person in another social group. Provided, no one in the beneficiary group has a clash of interest in the purpose for which the queue exists.
4) Equal Piracy Share - Today the audio and video industry is plagued by piracy. The entertainment industry works hard to keep the masses entertained. Digital technology can help a lot in controlling piracy. The artists and their fans should be and can be made to feel satisfied and entertained.
These are some of the areas where we must look forward to in IT world.

Rooftop View

I took this photograph from the roof top of our apartments. First of all the abbreviations. F - Flight; DC - Dussehra Celebrations; ML - Metro Line.
This photograph was taken on the evening of Dussehra. On this day the effigies of Ravana,, Kumbhakarna and Meghnad are burnt. You may also see the temporary giant wheel setup as part of Dussehra eve.
Hope you like it.

My Soleus Activity Tracker

 

Soleus Activity Tracker is a very useful device. The band has to be worn on the hand all the time except when charging which is once in 5 days.

Initially you need to feed the details about you. Your name, sex, weight, age, height. You must also set the right time and date.

After this you need to press buttons suitably 4 times only. First, exercising Start. Second, exercising End. Third, Sleep Start. Fourth Sleep End. I have not used the Alarm facility in the band till now. However I always keep it paired with my Android Phone and hence I come to know when a call or message arrives.

The Soleus App in my phone can be paired with Soleus Health Band any time. Pairing requires pressing of buttons in Health Band. And also in the Soleus App in phone.

You can see the data generated today. The state is as at 2 pm approximately. I did exercising today. Weights for about 30 minutes and cardio for about 30 minutes. I had walked 6686 steps totalling 5.71 km. I had spent 1797 calories till 2 pm. (These data includes exercising data). I had slept OK. For about 5 hours. 3 hours were deep sleep. 2 hours was light. I woke at 3 am.

I have to improve my sleep style. I normally sleep at 9 pm and wake up early. This I need to change. Also this device is made for aerobic (cardio) activities. The 66 % calorie targets achieved is based on my height and weight, I think.

Go ahead and buy this health band. It is very useful. But make sure you have an Android Phone before that.
