These are my all time favourites………
Music
I am not into much of pop , jazz, rock. I prefer low beats songs,(the less the beat is , the more my frontal lobe is activated). One more thing, if the beat frequency is between 6-10 cycles per seconds, the more it will be conductive to permeate in the alpha state of mind. In fact there are four states of mind, alpha , beta, delta and gamma The alpha state of mind is best suitable for learning purposes. So I suggest all of you, to listen more of instrumental kind of music. You don’t have to glue to English music, to device this, you can listen to our own carnatic and Hindustani music, whose gamut runs from all ragas, alapas. You might just acquaint yourselves to the one which are resonant with your vibes. Well that’s all about traditional genre.
Jumping in to the contemporary stuff, nothing can beat the compositions of his genius,
A.R.Rehman. Oh man, he is awesome. I shall list a few of my fav. You can listen them.

Cuisine.
My gastronomic diversity includes all varieties of sweets( Bengali). Few north and south Indian Dishes. Well I haven’t given an opportunity to my taste buds to enjoy the western food( Who knows if the taste lingers on, I will have to have it frequently , and my calorie count will pop up suddenly, and to alleviate that, I need again a strategy to axe my calories).
I might not be that diet conscious as I claim to be.
Books.
Though not a voracious reader, I am always keen towards the brain aspects kind of articles. I am not fictious( In the sense, I haven’t read a novel till now…….. wait if I am not wrong I remember reading David Copper field and Goose bumps ).
I like to browse thru little meditational stuff. This might include mindfulness also. Mindfulness is meditation in action. Though not a regular practitioner of meditation, I am interested in reading about it. In fact those who practice Unbroken Bramhacharya for 12 long years, according to Swami Vivekananda will attain his level of enlightenment( I know most of us wont accomplish it, due to existing life style). Most of you who are reading this at this instant may be practicing Mindfulness subconsciously, without the awareness of this conscious mind, becoz, you are all concentrating on what you do.
Well the so called homosapiens or human being , stand a class apart from other living species because of their amazing brain power. Yes , Human beings are the most intellectually developed species( in fact to count the number of neurons in our brain , you need 3700 years), so one can imagine the innate capacity of this extraordinary organ(Salaam Brain).
But its sad , since gratifyingly large number of people are prone to neurological disorders like the most prominent one’s like Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s Disease to less intensity ones like dementia, amnesia, aphasia, amusia, neurosis….( I shall consult a neuro surgeon and will try to list more). So in this world of high profile, high magnitude jobs, which banks on brain power, its necessary to revamp our brains daily with soothing incentives like good music, yoga, meditation, aerobic exercises(which apart from regulating our cardio vascular system , improvises our nervous system by increasing the blood supply)., sports.
One more thing, the studies reveal that( I don’t know the percentage accuracy of this statement, it seems that knowingly or unknowingly, 50% of our time i.e nearly ½ of our time excluding our daily activities mean in the work place, school or college, is wasted, that is u r not working towards it, the reason is significant , becoz every one needs a modicum of excitement in their lives, it applies to all of them in this world without sparing the professors from top universities of the world , to CEO’s, PM, scientists…..). Why, even you who is reading this is doing the same thing. So I suggest you all to do this.
Friends
Yeah, I have a network of good friends.
Fav TV shows
Hmmmmmmmm, the super natural(paranormal) shows titillates me.
Ok then , if you have reached summit of saturation with this creed, then I wont blow a fuse any more for all these are my favourites……….
