Pack a punch? To grind a flour and prepare some dough

Something’s looks easy to be done, however when we actually start doing it, we realize the actual skills and competence required to complete the task. We tried our hands in Cooking, Washing, cleaning etc. The interesting observation that struck our mind was the synchronization of our body parts to provide force and simultaneously much needed stability to perform that particular task. For instance, when we were involved in preparing dough we were using the strength of our hands, palms and shoulder to grind the flour.

Thereafter, we had to pack a punch and then tried to accumulate the flour into one compete structure. While were doing this process, we realized that the different body posture were suited for performing different tasks. For example when we were the flour(by packing a punch), we were sitting on our knees and it enables the rest of our body to stand as pillar and pass the strength to our shoulders, which in turn passed the strength to our hands and palms.

This was an example of an activity which was strength oriented. On the other hand, when we were preparing rotis we often had to do things other way around. So we used the softness of our palms that give that perfect oval shape. This activity primarily involved co ordination of hands, palms, eyes and more importantly our intuition and judgment whichever is more reliable.

I am sure you must be left wondering that this blog post talks about Shoulders, hands, palms, knees, shoulders etc. But why haven’t I mentioned anything about fingers. We used the flexibility of our fingers in cleaning desk, corner of a house where our hands or palms could not reach.

The use of our stomach could not be ignored either. We had learnt in our orientation workshop prior to volunteering “Pet se Awaaz Nikalo”. We were just doing that, as there was chaos when we were mobilizing people and our vocal skills were put to stern test.

However, to sum it up we learnt that every task /activity has a process and we can master it only by practicing. The bottom line is that we should not lose our creativity in performing any task. There are thousand of ways to done one particular task and the fun is to discover a new method every time we start losing interest.
