Smiling is infectious

Smiling Is Infectious

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like mine
could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

Food Habits...

 

If you, like so many of us, are so caught up with work that you have little time to watch what you eat, it's time to take a breather before your lifestyle takes its toll on your health.
Here are five bad habits which you must avoid to salvage your health.

1. Skipping breakfast
A lot of people leave home with just a cup of tea or coffee and then they wonder why they are always crabby, irritable and low on energy throughout the day.

Skipping this first, most important meal of the day is like starting a car without fuel. Your body is forced to call on its energy reserves and these do not last very long, making you irritable and snappy and lacking in concentration by the middle of the day.

What's more, you will end up eating a lot more servings or calorie-dense foods at lunch, which will cause your sugar levels to go up and then come crashing down, making you feel sluggish and tired.

Solution: A good breakfast does not have to be elaborate; a glass of skimmed milk with 2 handfuls of corn or wheat flakes and a fruit will suffice. For hot breakfast lovers, an egg, two slices of bread and a fruit or a bowl of oatmeal porridge accompanied by a fruit are enough.

2. Drinking too much tea/coffee
Sipping constantly can be a tough habit to break. But too much of either tea or coffee can do two things:

    * It may leave you feeling jittery, irritable, dehydrated, and even interrupt your sleep pattern at night so you do not get deep sleep or do not feel rested the next day.
    * If taken with your meals, tea and coffee inhibit the absorption of iron from your food. Your body throws out the nutrient as waste.

Solution: If you cannot cut down on the number of cups, cut down on the size of cups so you drink half the quantity. If you have a choice, opt for water.

3. Not drinking enough water
Most corporate offices are air-conditioned, so we do not really sweat and therefore, do not feel so thirsty. What's more when you are used to drinking water below your requirement, your body adapts and when you do start drinking a little more water, your body treats it as excess -- in fact, initially, the body actually throws it out causing you to run to the toilet every few minutes.

In the long run, not drinking enough water can cause constipation, indigestion, gas, increased hunger pangs, dehydration and can make your skin look dull too.

Solution: Keep a 1 litre bottle of water at your table and aim to finish it before the end of the day. It may take you two to three days to adapt to an increased dose but when you do, you will notice the positive benefits immediately -- better skin, better bowel movements and better control on your hunger pangs.

4. Eating at odd hours
While you cannot be expected to leave in the middle of a meeting because the clock says lunch time, it is definitely possible to try to have a somewhat regular meal timing for the majority of the days in the week.

Having a somewhat fixed meal time helps keep your metabolic rate up and can help prevent gas and acidity, which result from long gaps between meals.

Timely eating will also prevent you from overeating as once your body is used to getting energy at a particular hour, it will stop demanding food at odd hours.

Solution: Try to have a fixed time-frame in which you can have your meal peacefully and finish it in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes.

5. Weekend binging
Most of us put in endless hours during the week eating whatever is available, and then comes the weekend. We go on another binge that we feel we deserve. Hard drinks along with food add to the damage we cause to our health in the long run.

Solution: Try to take some time to relax at the end of each day and don't wait for the weekend to unwind. Take a relaxing massage, read a good book. Eating is not the only way to pamper yourself!

முதலில் யார் எங்கு சுட்டதோ...
ஆனால்
பல முறை சுடப்பட்ட,
பரிமாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்ட
நல்ல்ல்ல  தகவல்...

இதோடா...
படித்துப் பார்த்து
கடைபிடிக்க வேண்டியதை விட்டு
சுட்டது, பறிமாறியது என
சுற்றி சுற்றி....

Killing Spree..

Worst Shoot-out
in
the history..
whatever worst
happens, its a
first-of-its kind

Where we are heading?

As usual
so
many
research papers,
debates,
counter arguments will follow

at the
end of the day
all will end up holding
BELLs...
BUT
where's the Cat?
it is not the time to think
How to Bell the Cat...?
first of all identify the cat

Hope for the Best!

Welldone...Bangladesh -- and impact on Indian Cricket

Bangaladesh vs SA world cup super8 match
was
really
a superb one;

Best demonstration of
fielding, tight spin bowling, and
the ability to accelerate the score

one or two times,
there was a slight
doubt
over match-fixing:
SA batsmen kept on smiling
and
not cared about
till the fall of
7th wicket.
Then the under-estimation,
No.1 team et al vanished..
The came to realise the ground reality;

My Highlight :
I liked the attitude of that 18 years old Bangladesh wicket keeper
cool
composed
enthusiastic
cheer-leader
commitment



Next India is Touring Bangladesh
Already panic buttons ON
- a young team (doesn't mean that no senior players : they are just 10-17 years old in cricket)
- no coach
- separate coach for bowling, fielding

Lot of senior players available in India
We can give them posts like:

Power-play Coach
(later more coaches for powerplay1, powerplay2, etc)
Dressing Room Coach
(he will take care of players posing for the coverage - one for losing game situation,
another for winning games situations - paid less because of rare moments)
Toss Coach
only deals up to the tossing event - one coach may be for Pre-toss session
Post-Toss Coach
This coach will decide on-behalf of captain, manager and BCCI
whether elect to Bat or Field first
Running Between the Wickets Coach
He is a specialist - concentrates only on 30 yards
(Would be coach: former player dismissed max. times by Run-out)

You can think about more areas where we can appoint a coach
for
the betterment
of
Indian Cricketers read: Retired cricketers

P.S.:
Already BCCI received 667 applications for the post of Coach
- some applications came with CD/DVD to exhibit the Skills
It is learnt that lot of senior players decided to quit and opt for coaching
as the fee structure is attractive - ie better than the revised fee structure for players
