My desktop has not been used for several years now since I use only my laptop, IPad and smartphone when I am out...Some of the smart phone models are so good that you are able to carry out al your activities through it...I feel that desk tops may get phased out eventually except for office use or a few individuals only..

Yoga is not the end all to all the problems in life, like all other fields it has its own limitations. An active and fit person may have many other problems other than health and to expect Yoga to cure it is stupidity ! Some of the villagers and peasants who commit suicide here are physically fit but poor, this is enough to cause depression, so how does yoga help them? they need financial assistance more than anything else !

Western countries like the USA and Europe are definitely not intolerant, if that was the case they would not have given refugee to thousands of people who fled from Syria and Iraq in the past year which neither the Asian countries nor the Arabian countries did and now they are paying the price for it like India is ..India too has taken many wrong steps in the past like Pakistan and Kashmir and today the entire region is paying the price for our mistakes , since most of the terror outfits breed in these regions and spread all over the world..

One need not be like me. One can practice Yoga without any trained Guru and reap the rich fruits of health.

It takes time. It was a forgotten and neglected language. But it's not extinct. With effective reforms and support from the government like providing employment opportunities Sanskrit will regain its position of glory.

No one wants Sanskrit to become extinct. It is the mother of many Indian regional languages. However in today's times its use is restricted to very narrow fields and it is not used like Hindi or other regional languages are used. This does not motivate students to opt for Sanskrit. However it is kept alive by the small section of our population and supported by various institutions which in itself is highly laudable,

Perhaps you could enlighten us with some real history!
After knowing which way the historical winds are blowing these days I dare not risk enlightening anyone but myself.
Hail thee. Just be satisfied with enlightening yourself.
Thank you for the enlightening advise, Mr Advisor .

The side effects are usually temporary. Please do not say the doctor should be contacted last as the cases of depression can become severe if left unattended. Depressions which can be cured by Pranayama are not actually depressions of the kind being discussed here. Yoga is good for toning the body but it is not a miracle for every wrong the body faces.

Western nations are primarily responsible for the turmoil in West Asia. Many decades ago some of the powers arbitrarily carved out countries like Iraq, Lebanon etc without taking into account local realities. Ever since fighting in one pretext or the other is going on. While the attack on Paris needs to be condemned need is also to address hte root cause of this continuing turmoil

There are several ways to curb depression. contacting doctor is the last thing I do. Depression can be stopped by the Allopathic medicines. But the side effects are more. My way of handling depression is Pranayama.

Also the symptoms of depression cause an chemical; imbalance in the brain. This can be corrected by doctors by giving medicines. It has to be supported by counselling for curing completely. However the treatment periods are usually long and costly. But there is no way out. family support to elderly can reduce chances of depression.

Yes genetics play a vital role in depression. I know a few people who will plunge themselves in to depression just for a small reason. And they will be brooding over the situation for days on throwing themselves further and further in to depression. This type mental attitude will lead to several ailments.

Depression is commonly seen among the aged and is equally common in the younger generation. Reasons can be anything from personal loss to unfulfilled desires to serious illness. It can be related to season called SAD (seasonal affective disorder ) or as simple as scoring less marks in exams for students. It happens when one is unable to handle the harsh realities of life. Support from family and friends play a big role in getting over difficult situations. It is a state of mind where one is unable to see anything positive in their life.Chronic depression should be handled delicately and help from professionals should be taken. It is important to remember that those who are going through it whether old or young are highly vulnerable and and need help. Doctors normally prescribe anti-depressants but nothing works if there is no support system.

I am not sure, but there are paint tools available on google playstore which you can download and install on your device.
One such app is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.corel.painter
Some other apps are in the link:

you can search for others on google.
I know there are Apps provided even in my I pad. But all of them cater to the needs of Amateur artists. I'm in need of a gadget that can help in painting compatible with the advanced features of Photoshop, Coral Draw and other such programmes .
You should better stay with your desktop otherwise you will probably lose your creativity in case not coming to terms with modern facilities available on modern laptops etc. Of course smartphones are not meant to replace the desktops but they solve lot many purposes for people on the go so there is no use comparing a desk top with smartphones in any way.
You know me very well right from the day i entered here, Of course I stick to my Desktop to carry on my jobs.
