Noise pollution is ever rising. Be it in your room, office or the streets. We keep ourselves engaged with our TV, mobile phones and laptops. Again noise! Even the rattling of keys, while I’m typing this blog, is a noise. Have you ever wondered that we don’t spend even few minutes in silence in a day?

* Development of New Brain CellsDo you know that your brain grows when you sit in meditation for few minutes? Amazing, isn’t it? When we sit silently for 15 minutes daily, our brain produces new brain cells in hippocampus region which are responsible for learning and memorizing things.
