IPL boom:

As we watch the IPL matches , there is good capital gain by bookies and players! BCCI said they cannot control bookies. A simple case shall be registered by Rajastan Royals. This is age of consumerism and crony capitalism. This type of problem cannot be eradicated. I think they should legalise bating.
First, they introduced something called "auction" of players. It was a new word to hear after Abraham lincon abolished slavery. We accepted that. Then they introduced fun elements like cheer girl , a sexist medieval display. We also accepted that. Now , it is time we should accept bookies and baiting as legal. The face language of most of the BCCI members yesterday was cheerful as if they have nothing to do with baiting and corruption in the game. But the larger question is whether the money goes to anti-nationals or stock exchange or hawala operations? in spite of everything we cannot stop watching the game!

Can Living in the Moment Improve Your Health?

 “Enjoy every moment. Life is short.” Trying to enjoy each moment may actually be good for your health.

The idea called Mindfulness is about being completely aware of what’s happening in the present—of all that’s going on inside and all that’s happening around you. It means not living your life on “autopilot.” Instead, you experience life as it unfolds moment to moment, good and bad, and without judgment or preconceived notions.

Finding time for mindfulness in our culture, however, can be a challenge. We tend to place great value on how much we can do at once and how fast. Still, being more mindful is within anyone’s reach.

Many people who practice mindfulness report an increased ability to relax, a greater enthusiasm for life and improved self-esteem. A major benefit of mindfulness is that it encourages you to pay attention to your thoughts, your actions and your body. It is so common for people to watch TV and eat snack food out of the box without really attending to how much they are eating. “With mindful eating, you eat when you’re hungry, focus on each bite, enjoy your food more and stop when you’re full.”

You can practice mindfulness throughout the day, even while answering e-mails, sitting in traffic or waiting in line. All you have to do is become more aware—of your breath, of your feet on the ground, of your fingers typing, of the people and voices around you. All of these add up and start to create a more mindful, healthy life.

Being Mindful

The concept of mindfulness is simple, but becoming a more mindful person requires commitment and practice. Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Take some deep breaths. Breathe in through your nose to a count of 4, hold for 1 second and then exhale through the mouth to a count of 5. Repeat often.
• Enjoy a stroll. As you walk, notice your breath and the sights and sounds around you. As thoughts and worries enter your mind, note them but then return to the present.
• Practice mindful eating. Be aware of taste, textures and flavors in each bite, and listen to your body when you are hungry and full.
• Find mindfulness resources in your local community, including yoga and meditation classes, mindfulness-based stress reduction programs and books.
