Stress Buster

We work hard to make our self and our family happy but this hard work many times gifts us with an add-on – STRESS. Stress is a part and parcel of today’s ever growing fast paced life. We live stress everyday, the same way as we live life everyday. Everyday we face depression and feelings of fatigue. This leave’s our body with stress and only stress!
People travel from one end of the city to another, every day, day after day, mostly without realizing the fact that what their daily routines are doing to their body. Every day what we surely gain is stress, if not happiness and satisfaction.
Granted, most people would like to slow down, to enjoy and live life to the fullest. But destiny has its own ways of burdening us and in turn help us not achieve a much desired peaceful existence. Work, jobs, study, you name it and it all adds up to stress.
It is obvious that we don’t invite stress in our lives, but it has its own way of showing up.
Here are some simple suggestions that one can make to alleviate not only fatigue, but help chase away the blues.
To start with , a good food will always make you feel more energetic. And above all Chinese food is the best option as it is said to stimulate the brain center that is responsible for happiness. So if it’s a really bad day for you, perhaps Chinese food is waiting for u…
Then one can even melt themselves in a large size cone of an ice-cream. Ice-creams contain loads of calcium + folic acid which are know to be mood elevators. This combination boosts the production of serotonin which is know to keep one happy for a long period of time. On addition of dark chocolate, one can get immune to cancer cells too, and yeah the yummy taste would definitely make you do that.
Next time don’t discard the orange and lemon peels as their essence are known to have a substance called limonoids which has been gifted with a property to prevent cancer.( study by Texas A&M University ). Plus the peels of these citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, which are known to aid in rejuvenating the body’s immune system. One can simply add it into the food, or also grate the peel and use as a topper or just sprinkle it into your tea or soft drinks.
Prefer walking rather than running. According to the research done at the Greece Aristotle University, walking is more likely to invigorate the body. Research has proved that high intensity of run leaves one more restless and adds to the fatigue. Instead moderate to pace walking increases the energy level and lifts the spirits. Regular walking would make one feel more energetic, fit and above all stress free.
Further, take time out to just sit and meditate. It is a very well know fact, even a short meditation can be very rejuvenating to the body and soul. Sit down and reminisce, by looking at family photos. You can't help but have wonderful feelings viewing past good times that have been captured in photos.
One can listen to music for music has a soothing effect on brain, and a gentle massage will rejuvenate you from all fatigue. Places like ear lobes, eyes, fore head, fingers and back of shoulders will give u a boost of energy.
Stress is a part of everyone’s life, either in small ways or big ways, it do shows up. One must always be aware of harmful effects of stress and take proper precautions in advance. Stress could be controlled well if a proper balance is maintained between work and leisure activities.

BOLLYWOOD EXPLORED

BOLLYWOOD CHARM


The Rising INDIA!
I say this , because from what was earlier thought about INDIA, it has now completely changed its image and emerged as a global player. Today India has broken its own barrier to fly high and have reached the growth rate of 8.1% per annum. Today INDIA is not just a name but a "BRAND" with a hub of investment opportunities.

First the IT sector made the world recognize India as the next IT hub and then the big stock market run or the bull run as it is famously said has even defeated Dow Jones of USA and is currently healthy at 11700 pts. The new India has all the support and trust from international investors who have gained substantially in the Bull run.

The next big thing happening to INDIA is its entertainment industry- BOLLYWOOD
Today bollywood is all capable of competing the ever mighty hollywood in facts and figures. This industry has also been described as a major role player in Indian economy development. With $8 billion currently it promises to double by 2010.

From just producing over few films in a year and that too in black and white in 1950s to producing over 800 films a year with the best drama, action, animation and scrip in 2005, Bollywood has had a long journey before actual recognition.

With actors like Jackie Chain , William Simth coming to India and saluting the ever growing Indian film industry , it is evident that this industry has achieved its status and honours from international stages.
LAGAAN – The Indian Oscar nominee has uplifted the standards of Indian cinema.

Bolly wood today is the most investor friendly industry with as many investment options as one can think of. The government of India has also recognized this and so invites investments from foreign collaborations and investments from NRIs.

With low production cost, it has already achieved a status of outsourcing production and post production work to India from countries like U.S and U.K.
India has always tried to maintain its quality with most economic labour cost. This has gained India and bollywood a remark of perfectionist!

Apart from this, many Indian actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and A.R.Rahman have been given international accredition for their work in their field.

Best part about bollywood is yet to come – ‘cos no producer ever looses his money. This could also be explained . Since production cost are low, a producer at least covers its cost even if the film doesn’t work by selling music rights and through repeat sales in years to come!!
This explains how proudly the bollywood industry digests over 800 films a year and still is making profits!!!

The major role played in any industry is money. Bollywood too has been highly attractive with NRI investments. NRIs have already invested in some of the big hits of Bollywood.
With growing demand of Indian films outside the country, it is attracting more and more
of NRIs to invest in their homeland.
There are many ways through which a NRI can invest.

Ideally an NRI invests through an IPO or through his personal contacts. Some private equity investors include GW Capital, ICICI Ventures, Warburg Pincus,and Trans-atlantic Ventures.

But other ways of investing and making it a profitable business would be to open up a production house in India (Since he has property rights in India) and can be an important link between foreign companies and Indian majors.
NRIs can even bridge the gap of outsourcing of production and post production jobs to India, through effective marketing of Indian cost effective programs.

NRI investments will also help the Indian film industry tremendously.
Firstly it will open up new gates for organized funds. Secondly it would broden the vision of Indian producers and directors as they come in touch with big foreign entrepreneurs. Lastly it would make this industry globally more confident about its movies for Oscar and other international Awards.

Today , this industry is growing with rapid pace due to talented artist, high quality and yet cost effective production shops and above all increasing in organized funds from foreign institutes . Some institutes already invested in Bollywood include Viacom, PrexyPrexy, Erudite Capital Counsel Ltd, STAR TV, SONY, Discovery Communications, and Time Warner.

It is a win-win investments, when made in bollywood. As the investor gains and so does the industry. Today this industry is spreading its wings, far high and is attracting the best of best with its strong, investor friendly , profitable charm and with the right kind of support from government and investments from NRIs and foreign institutes, it would be fair enough to say that bollywood can not only compete but as well as defeat the biggest entertainment industry – Hollywood.
