CANCEL CANCEL = Not cancel :D

Cancelling of classes on my gym website is not working!
Grrr I should complain about it.
How come others are able to cancel? I know others are able to cancel because slots are being opened up on fully booked classes and everything.
I have tried about a 100 times, from my phone and PC
Is it only me? Is it the i-phone? Why is it failing both on my PC and phone?

Ok I am going to write them a mail

Hi Gym people,
 I am not able to cancel my classes .. bla bla bla
I even get the popup which says are you sure u want to cancel the booking.
Nothing happens when I press CANCEL! ....  CANCEL! CANCEL???  Oh Shit CANCEL! :-D
I have been pressing CANCEL on that popup each and every time.
Ha ha :-)
Actually you know its not stupid, Its a trick question :-P
Are u sure you want to Cancel the class?  two options
CANCEL  OK
Does CANCEL mean CANCEL The class or CANCEL the pop up? :-P It should be YES and NO.

Its NOT my fault :P The UI is not intuitive :P

how does feng shui work

I finally figured out how Feng shui works, How blessings work, How mantras work!
Do you actually think they don't work?
Try a small thing, Ask a friend to point a finger at your face , and keep moving closer. Like it?
experiment two, Open the door of a cupboard and sit under that door, feel uncomfortable?
Not enough? Hand a big sword, very securely from the roof, and sit under it.
All these feel very uncomfortable, even tho they don't touch us or harm us. The anticipation of danger? The danger posed by the sharp object is enough to make our subconscious uncomfortable.

Feng-shui and yoga say that the pointed fore finger has a very strong energy, thats why pointing at anyone is not recommended. How is it possible for our finger to emit energy? yes Physically it is impossible, but - But the finger not only exist in the physical world, does it?  It also exists in your mind. Actually from our perspective, it only exists in our mind. .and this object in our mind, is perceived as a threat by our subconscious, this perception of threat emanating from the finger is called energy by the ancients.
You know what, this is not the only thing that exists in 'mind only',  what about beauty? Does physics explain beauty? :) Beauty doesn't exist in real world, It is subjective and exists only in our mind, so does the most sought after commodity of our times - Love and of course God.  so something that exists only in the mind is no less valuable or tangible than physical objects, sometimes even more important.
Anyway, so spaces bedrooms houses exist in our mind and these are subject to "energies" orientation etc.
The mandalas and yantras - Sacred geometry, Basically are designs which affect our sub conscious.

Mantras are the audio equivalent of this.
what basic sound has what effect and what basic symbol has what effect on our mind is studied in tantra. We need tremendous amount of awareness to feel them affecting us, but in general we can feel the difference in "energy" when we change the furniture arrangement for the better, or when we go into "good" homes.

You improve small things and it makes big difference, like I sprayed lubricant on my curtain track and now I realise how horrible and grating it was before. Throwing away or fixing broken things,  taking away trip hazards ( your house may not have them, mine always does :P )


Jana gana mana was selected as the best national anthem

He he, It wasnt. Actually I just told off my mother for forwarding a message like that. Then I doubted myself.. what if? This is a freak stupid age.. may be? I googled and Offcourse still no award by UNESCO.  I was laughing about this and my friend says Italian national anthem is the best! grr!( He is  from Venezuela, its not boasting. Clarifying before you judge)
All this made me check out the national anthems of different countries, You know what? They are all so damn similar! They are all designed to produce the same feeling, pride and belonging and nationalism and greatfulness in you! I bet I have heard every one of them before, in some form or orher, probably as  patriotic songs in movies etc?y
I felt teary eyed and ready to die for my country after every single one of them, even tho I didnt understand the words! :D It was too hard to continue as I got so emotional and overwhelmed!  :D I know! Totally crazy!
Someone more musically knowledgable will probably tell me they are all the same raaga or the same some damn thing. Most of the western ones are based on western classical music, not surprisingly. Even the Chinese and Pakistan national anthems sounded similar to this to me. Were all nationsl anthems created begining of this century? They seem like military song of early 20th century and all inspired from each other. Indian one is different in tone but not in quality.
I am not a musical expert but I can also clearly tell that Its either the tempo or the increasing pitch which makes us feel like this.  I shud ask someone to analyse this for me
Israel national anthem - slow emotional high strung. 1920s feel. Nostalgia, war, soldiers on snow. feel like crying, hope, discipline, want to work for my country. Reminds me if russian/japenes songs . playing in background wgen thier soldiers git ready for war. meloncholy, I like
South Africa - western classical, glory pomp and show
australia - sound of music, bit lighter on emotion, feel good
polish choir+military+ western classical
Afghan - familiar, .is it similar to Indian?
Pakistan - ok this is so familiar, Its not the british one but not able to place
russian similar but more urgent and emotional
This is really challenging my not so musical ear! ha ha ha! so interesting but I am not abke to place then wrt to each other
China- western classical!?  up beat! duty, march ahead
south korea - slow, choir. same old! doesnot reflect their culture! or is eastern music also like this?
North korea - army song, more high pitch emotional
Japanese - grim,slow sad sun rise, praise of king, choir respect, eastern feel for the first time. The song u would play when brave queen died at the end of movie :)
Indonesia- patriotic, military, similar to afghan? pride
So far, If Unesco did give a prize, it shud be to Indian one, it is the only different one so far?  not based on western music? Also more importance to vocal than instruments. most unique one for sure.
Nepal - Vocal upbeat non western classical, but again one of the patriotic tunes.
Mongolia - strts uniquely with a gong - but same later on
Iran - Oh my god! I gave surely heard this :)
