Mind Game

Brain is the physical identity for mind. But its not only the mind that makes a brain.
Brain has many functions to perform - voluntary or involuntary. It takes care of many activities such as maintaining the body temperature to heartbeat, breathing, sweating etc. But mind is blessed with the power of thinking. Sometimes segregating the information to remember or make a choice of forgetting it too. Mind is the reason for the great honour to be known as wise or otherwise :)

Mind includes:
Consciousness
Perception
Thinking
Judgement
Language
Memory

This takes us to the process of thinking. The platform to facilitate the abilities of humans. Thinking includes -
1. Recognise assumptions - recognizing the self made thoughts and collecting the facts
2. Evaluate information - Giving time to confirm the reality in our data and trying to find proofs to support our assumptions
3. Draw conclusions - Once we have the supported facts, we draw conclusions and make decisions
4. Plan of actions - Then follows making the various plans of action to achieve our task or go ahead in judging either persons or situations.

Language and Memory:
Since our childhood mind makes imprints of information practised by the child. This is contained in the form of imprints. The stronger imprints help the child in quick learning of words and makes the vocabulary for communication. The memory power connected with the mind's ability is the key element to drive us towards success. There are many techniques practiced by the students to increase their memory power and present their best in academics.
This deadly combination of will power and mind power is the key behind the making of a Sundar Pichai or a Satya Nadella. So belt your seats to achieve these two to make the best in the professional world.

BY WORDS THE MIND IS WINGED
Aristophanes

Mind is a power house of Imagination. It holds the power of recognition and appreciation. In our ways of speaking we have
a strong mind
weak mind
and a suspicious mind also.
A Criminal mind plans the crimes and the lawyers logical mind plays in the court of law - either proving it or falsifying it.
Another genre of mind is Open mind/minded/broad minded ones. This kind of open minded people are welcomed and appreciated by all. You know the reason why, I need not strain my mind :)

Best minds are those who are clever, intelligent and creative. I could see them in my mind's eye!

Two Minds

Yes, we have every right to change our mind!

When I'm confused I'll have two minds. Dont think I'm confused because if you need I'll give give a piece of my mind . It means that I'll tell you very clearly that I think you have behaved badly. So be sure before you ask :) Your presence of mind could save you my dear!

When we are angry !mind is the first word we opt for
Level 1 of anger - Mind your business
Level 2 of anger - Mind your words
When you lose your patience then it becomes "Mind your tongue"

Mind is the mill of thoughts that grinds the heart and the world with it's wisdom. Nobody is ready to take it for free. We prefer to follow the heart, and fall in the pits of foolery.

Now we have one more chamber to enter. Its not the heart of arteries and veins. Its the literary heart, the seat of emotions. There is an eternal war between the thoughts and emotions hence the existence of conflicting worlds of mind and heart! Epics are created out of the warring worlds.
Similar to the anger management, we should have mind management too.

Lets unlock the gates of heart leaving the mansion of mind.

Mind's Mansion

Brain and body are good friends.
They have a best friend, who is never understood by the world.
The world always wondered why their best friend changes his ways very often and is like a Phantom in Gotham he pops up at the most unwanted situation. Changes the sides, makes decisions and judges leaving no stone unturned. His absence is felt even though the body is present. Yes its the MIND I'm talking about.

Mind is similar to that of electricity for the brain. Mind includes the functional capacity of the brain in emotional/practical/psychological parts of a human being. Mind is the power that differentiated us from the four legged animals. Great to speak about mind power.
To define, MIND is the unseen, undefined ability of the brain explained in the term - Intelligence. This includes our ability to define what is good, bad, do's and dont's, measuring the advantages and disadvatages of our decisions and establishes the will to to bear with it.It is a power house. The more we tap it with our levels of concentration the better would be our levels of performance. And we coined the word mind power.

Mind in More Words:
Innumerable words are made to represent mind and its power.
Mind power is the most commonly used compound word.
(Words that are made from two independent nouns.)

In general we refer to someone's mind when talking about their thoughts or ideas.
If I say something is in  my mind, I mean that I;m thinking about it (something that's already mentioned)
If I say that something is at the back of my mind, I mean that I'm aware of it although I'm not revealing any clues about it to you).
To hurry a person to make the decision - Make up your mind!
 To caution a person that we know hin/her well - I can read your mind
Because I could see it all in my mind's eye! Imagine it and get a clear picture. 
If you can not, get it out of your mind. Because we have a lot to speak about our state of mind.

 

Welcome to kNoW English

Writing is similar to speaking. Speaking through words that rush through the mind. Its like raining thoughts on this white surface in letters of black. :)

Yes, today this blog post I dedicate to the thoughts that gave an occasional out pour while walking or cooking or eating or traveling or even teaching in the class. Some way to capture the points that make it easy to explain the finer points related to English - vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, fluency, communication skills etc.

Here I jot down the issues in informal as well as formal vocabulary.
Lets shake our hands in mind and happy to welcome you for my world of ENGLISH.
Yes... in this virtual world we find connectivity through the mind.
We don't mind if we do not connect with each other.

Let's take the examples how the word mind is used in English.



Mind your tongue (a rather harsh reminder)
Mind your business (definitely a warning )


We have some requests too made with it

Please don't mind my words.

A clearer expression of help

Please remind me tomorrow about the task

After all these minding about the mind, where does the brain stand?
How far mind is different from brain?
Are they synonyms for thinking?

We use these often spoken phrases
Brainless fellow not a mindless one
Brain drain ( a compound word that means the emigration of highly trained or qualified people from a particular country)

But have we ever said - Body present brain absent?
Why it is - mind absent why not a brain?

Leave your mind/brain in comments...
and that's for today dears!
