Krishna ate half of a pizza on Monday.
He ate half of what was left on Tuesday and so on.
He followed this pattern for one week.
How much of the pizza would Krishna have eaten during the week...?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Answer:-
Krishna would have ate 127/128 (99.22%) of the pizza during the week.
Krishna ate half the pizza on Monday.
On Tuesday, he would have ate half of the
remaining pizza i.e. 1/4 of the original pizza.
Similarly, he would have ate 1/8 of
the original pizza on Wednesday and so on for the seven days.
Total pizza Krishna ate during the week is
= 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 + 1/128
= 127/128
= 99.22% of the original pizza

YOGA FOR MIGRAINE
Forward by Arun
Breathing exercises to strengthen the lungs and improve the oxygen levels in the body
All of you who suffer from migraines know how difficult it can be to deal with the same — they seem to l ast from a few hours to a few days! This is yet another disease that no-one really knows the root cause of. Yes, there are genetic factors but stress and anxiety, food allergies, sensitivity to sound or light, irregular meals, irregular sleep and lack of exercise are also contributing factors.
I am giving you a seven day programme that specially works on all the areas concerned with migraine and you must do these regularly to see an improvement in your condition.
Yoga gives great importance to breath, because how you breathe will affect the health of your body and the breath also links the body and the mind. Today we begin with breathing exercises that are a must for those who suffer from migraines. Not only do they strengthen the lungs and improve the oxygen levels in the body but also help to restore and gradually balance the flow of prana or vital energy to the brain and soothe and calm the nerves.
Caution: Those with cervical spondylosis, heart problems, high blood pressure and pregnant women should avoid these exercises.
EXERCISE 1
Sit back on your heels,place your palms on the knees, keep the back straight
Exhale forcefully and rapidly through the nose in quick succession, pulling the stomach in towards the spine as you exhale. Inhalation will be automatic and passive between every two exhalations
Practice 30-50 inhalations at a stretch
Repeat three times.
EXERCISE 2
Sit back on your heels,Bend your arms at the waist, the elbows close to the body and make fists Raise both fists up, a bit higher than the head, keep the elbows close to the body
Exhale forcefully through the mouth (the cheeks puffed out) as you pull the arms down, taking the elbows behind the waist
Repeat 20 times, exhalation should be rapid, movements smooth not jerky
Inhale deeply and slowly
Exhale slowly.
.
.
.
.
EXERCISE 3
Sit in padmasana . Sit with your legs stretched out and the back straight
Bend one leg; place the ankle on the opposite thigh close to the groin. Bend the other leg and place the ankle on the thigh of the bent leg, close to the groin. Place your hands on your knees
Bend your forefinger and the middle finger of your right hand. Close your eyes and practice deep breathing
Close the right nostril with the thumb, place the ring finger between the eyebrows and inhale to the count of five
Close the left nostril with ring finger. Hold your breath for a count of ten
Raise the thumb to between the eyebrows, exhale slowly through the right nostril to a count of ten
Now breathe in again through the right nostril to a count of five. Close the right nostril with your thumb and hold your breath for a count ten. Place the ring finger between eyebrows and exhale through the left nostril to count of ten
Repeat the complete cycle for two to five minutes.
YOGA FOR MIGRAINE – II
Kriyas to beat migraine
Kriyas help rid the body of toxins and strengthen the 72,000 nadis, which are the channels of energy in our body and form a kind of electrical circuit. Usually we fall sick when a problem occurs in this circuit.
The two kriyas being given to you today will help clean out the nasal passages. They help control migraine as they have an effect on the nerves that end in the nasal passage and they have a soothing influence on the brain to reduce tension in the face and the mind. You need to practice these regularly for two months to see the difference. Also try and practice them each time you feel the onset of migraine.
REQUIREMENTS:
Exercise 1:
You'll need a special 'neti pot' - one end is a nozzle. The nozzle should not be too thick or pointed and should fit comfortably in the nostril.
Exercise 2:
You will need a 'sutra' or thin rubber catheter (size 4, 5 or 6, depending on the size of your nostril).
Caution:
It is advisable you attempt these exercises the first time under supervision. Both exercises should be avoided by people suffering from chronic nose-bleeding. Exercise 2 should not be practiced by those with nasal ulcers, polyps or septum malformations.
EXERCISE 1
Add one tea spoon salt to half litre lukewarm water and pour it into the neti pot
Stand with your legs apart, bend forward and tilt your head to one side,Keep the mouth open so that you can breathe through it
Place nozzle of neti pot in the nostril that is facing upwards and slowly pour water into it. The water will flow out through the other nostril
Straighten up and blow your nose gently to remove any mucous
Now, close one nostril and rapidly exhale 10-15 times through the other
Repeat the process with the other nostril
L astly, inhale and exhale rapidly 10-15 times with both the nostrils open.
EXERCISE 2
Sterilise the rubber catheter. You can lubricate this with ghee or butter so that it slides easily through the nasal passage.
Stand comfortably and relax
Raise your hand to the nostrils and check which nostril is flowing more freely
Tilt your head back a little. Gently insert the narrow end of the sutra into the dominant nostril. Twist it and keep inserting it gently downwards (never straight up) towards the floor of the nose. Keep your mouth open
The thread will come out from the throat. Insert your index and middle finger to pull the sutra out through the mouth, leaving a few inches hanging out of the nose
Hold each end and very gently pull the thread backwards and forwards 2-3 times
Remove it through the mouth
Repeat with other nostril.
YOGA FOR MIGRAINE – III
The exercises I am giving you today seem simple. But those who suffer from migraines should not underestimate their effect. All nerves connecting different parts of the body have to go through the neck to reach the brain. These simple exercises will tone those vital nerves, loosen the cervical vertebrae, neck and shoulders, improve blood flow to the brain and help reduce tension and calm the mind. You can also do these at your desk while working.
Caution: Keep the shoulders and leg muscles loose. Move the head very gently, as directed, but only as far as it is comfortable. Do not strain. These exercises should not be done by those with very high or very low blood pressure or with extreme cervical spondylosis. Those with mild to moderate cervical spondylosis should avoid bending the neck forward.
STEP 1
Sit with your legs stretched out and back straight
Bend one leg; place your ankle on the opposite thigh close to the groin. Bend the other leg and place the ankle on the thigh of the bent leg, close to the groin.
Place your hands on your knees.
EXERCISE 1
Close your eyes, keep your body straight. Slowly drop your head towards your left shoulder — don't turn the head or lift the shoulders
Raise the head and drop it towards the right shoulder as above
EXERCISE 2
Slowly move the head as far back as comfortable. Do not strain
Slowly bring your head up and move it forward so that the chin touches the chest.
EXERCISE 3
Gently turn the head to the left so that the chin is in line with the shoulders
Now gently turn the head to the right as far as it is comfortable.
STEP 4
Slowly rotate the head clockwise down to the chest, then to the right, then backward, to the left side in a relaxed, smooth, rhythmic, circular movement
Now gently rotate it anti-clockwise, that is, in the opposite direction.
YOGA FOR MIGRAINE – IV
Inverted asanas that loosen up the cervical and shoulder areas and increase blood flow to the brain
Amigraine causes decreased blood flow to the brain. Today, I'm giving you a set of inverted asanas that loosen up the cervical and shoulder areas and also increase blood flow to the brain. These asanas also give extra blood supply to the pituary gland that lies in the brain and this helps to improve the functioning of the Endocrine (hormonal) System and the health of the body. As you do these, try and relax as you hold the final position.
Caution: Those with hernia, high blood pressure, heart conditions and severe back problems should not do these exercises.

Hold for 30 - 60 seconds, breathing normal
Gradually lower your back and legs without strain or jerky movements.
EXERCISE 2

This is not a test - just a phenomenon. All readings are explained.
Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.
More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see
that the word THE is repeated twice!
Sorry, look again.
Next, let's play with some words.
What do you see?
In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).
Now, what do you see?
You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?
What do you see here?
This one is quite tricky!
The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.
Last one.
What do you see?
You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
wen you look through ME .... you will see YOU!
Do you need to look again?
Next ....... Test Your Brain
This is really cool.

The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
