How to fix the mind and improve concentration

Yes the mind is the most wandering if considered for the best wandering subject.

In today's world there is simply so much data inflow that if becomes difficult for even the best computer, the brain God had built to keep track of information and process the same.

Our brain is not able to sustain the bahemoth of data despite multitasking making us more focused and less competent in certain areas of life.

Firstly, we need to channelize the information that is fed to the mind for thinking. To achieve this you would need to simply stop thinking about anything for a moment and hit the mind's restart button so that all the data in the temporary memory is erased.

Now, if you are able to achieve the above then you can proceed to next step, else try few mental focus exercises like meditation spiritual yoga so that you can gain control of the mind slowly and increase/improve concentration.

Secondly, always focus on the current moment because you cannot change what has already occured and you have no idea of what lies 2 years (for e.g.) down the line. Try to stay in present and that itself will bring in lot of mental focus on the job you are at now.

Thirdly, do not try to take contract for thinking on behalf of others. Everyone has a brain and has the capacity to think. you are not here to share your brain's resources when the person in need is self sufficient

Review: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)

Ubuntu 14.04 was released on 16th April 2014. I have installed the operating system and using it as my primary OS since past week or so.


I really loved it.

Ok! its time to start loving the Unity Bar as it has been given the much needed stability and looks more polished and finished product.

One the first thing that you would note is the lock screen that has changed drastically to a full screen visual treat instead of a white box found versions 13.10 and prior.

Also lot of Google apps have native instances. In the sense you do not need to open a browser to use some of the basic web apps/accounts. You would offered suggestions as and when you browse on the Mozilla Firefox. For example.  when you for the first time navigate to www.outlook.com it would offer you to configure the native livemail web app. Web account sync and setup is a breeze on Ubuntu 14.04 with support for a lot of account types.


In the general the stability of the OS is pretty awesome with no hick-ups when I had 10 applications running simultaneous doing different jobs (without Idle time)

Tip! The resolution of the screen seems to be better in 'Radiance" theme than the default "Ambiance"



Firefox is too fast on the Ubuntu 14.04. You would love surfing on Firefox I bet. The loading times are too quick and pleasure to browse though various sites simultaneously.

The visual effects of the on the new OS is stunning and Windows/Macs have a formidable competition on cards. Overall the entire OS is nicely polished and looks great.


This time the release was perfect as many Windows XP users looking for alternative would go for the Ubuntu given that the support for windows XP has ended.

On the software front all the applications have been migrated to their latest version.
