So lets talk about our minds for a second.Our minds are one of the most complex parts of our bodies. A human mind is more powerful than a supercomputer and still during exams, even if you dont remember the correct answer, your mind can remember the worst song you have ever heard and with perfect lyrics. So let me tell you how to remember better. MIND MAPS. Yup, don't cringe, I said it. Mind maps help the brain learn visually, instead of the repetitive reading and remembering.
Lets look at the mind map on the topic of PLAY. This method helps the mind understand the different branches of the topic at hand through the eye catching colors and images. The visually explaining process is helpful as our mind remembers the image of the information as well, when we try to recall the content and so makes it easier to reproduce the information.

Well, I see that you are back... Was my last post actually interesting or are you just bored ?? Playing around on the internet ??

So today I would like to talk about a baby's perception of " PLAY ". You could say " come on, it's just a baby. It can't even speak, let alone knowing about " PLAY ". " But that exactly is my point.

Whenever we see a baby, we immediately want to make it laugh or catch its attention. Its basic human nature. We are attracted to the innocence of someone who only recognizes visual interactions. We try to play the most common and effective game with them - The " Peek a Boo ". A baby doesn't recognize sometimes if it's mother is calling him but as soon as you do the whole " Peek a Boo " routine in front of it, more often than not it brings a smile to it's face. Also, for a baby anything is a toy. You must have noticed, if a baby is crying and you hand him anything that makes some kind of noise or moves, it immediately forgets everything else and becomes engrossed in it. Isn't that the definition of sports ?? You have to concentrate and be interested in whatever sport in the world you are playing, in order to excel in it and enjoy it.

We begin to grasp the concept of PLAY since the very beginning and slowly as we grow up, our conception of PLAY changes, to more suite our personality.For a baby anything in the world is a means of entertainment ( mostly by putting it in the mouth ), but it's the concept of PLAY or distraction that it understands the most easily.

Hope you didn't go to sleep like a baby there ( pun intended :D ). I will write again next week and will discuss the gradual change in the concept of PLAY as we grow up.

Till then " May the force be with you. "

Let me ask you a question.... What comes to your mind when I ask you to think about PLAY ??  Your mind rapidly shows you different interpretations of it in a flash and finally you settle down on the one meaning that you are most familiar and comfortable with.

This is what I am gonna talk about in this series of blogs. I would like to explore the versatility of the word " PLAY ", how it changes nature in different situations and for different people, be they of different age, sex or profession. How it has such a positive influence on our attitude and health and what makes it such a vast topic to explore.
