Visualise your brain as you would any other part of the body, if you do not exercise your body or jog enough and then try to run 10 kilometres you'll be in for a shock as you quickly lose your breath and have to stop due to leg cramps or joint pain. Your brain is no different and if it is not actively trained and kept in a heightened and alert state then it will start to atrophy. At first the effects are minimal but over time many people become frustrated by their lack of memory and start to feel "lost" when they can no longer solve problems as easily as they used to.
Considering mathematics to be the most potent method to keep the mind razor sharp and in top shape to deal with everyday problems at work and home, Sumita Bose has written a book that explains in a fun and playful manner, many types of short-cuts drawing materials from a variety of brain games, puzzles, riddles, math games, mathematical innovative games and trivia games that can help you strengthen memory lanes, improve cognitive ability and sharpen focus. As an added attraction many traditional mathematical calculations have been solved using Vedic and other time-saving tricks and techniques.
