WHY BODYBUILDERS SHOULD GIVE BLOOD! There is more benefit to giving blood, other than doing the public good.

B

Sheru Angrish

lood banks are often low in this country and it is a great idea to give blood. It could help save your life and the lives of many people in need. It seems that giving blood for men could also save your life, lessen the effects of the “bodybuilding” lifestyle.

Men have a higher incidence of heart disease and congestive heart failure than women and one of the possible causes is the higher blood iron levels found in men. Giving blood at least once a year is a way to reduce these harmful levels of blood iron. Bodybuilders specifically have a tendency to have high blood iron levels due to their consumption of meat products as a way to get increased protein. One of the reasons for men’s version of multi-vitamins is the difference in need for iron between men and women. You will find many of the men’s formulas do not contain iron supplementations due to the implications of heart disease. Men and women with a genetic abnormality that have slightly higher iron levels were found to have over two times as much chance of developing cardiovascular disease. Also, a Finnish study showed that men who give blood at least once a year had an 88% reduced risk of heart attacks.

With bodybuilders relying on lean red meat to supply increased protein, the need to give blood is even more substantial! There is no negative to donating blood and the potential health benefits could be amazing! So, take advantage of your local blood drive to do yourself and your community some good! Tell your friends and family to do themselves a favor and donate

08

blood at least once a year to maintain good heart health! One last positive benefit of giving blood

is that you are screened for almost every blood born pathogen which is a positive side benefit!

Myths Behind Timing and Forecasts One does not need to have the ability to predict the stock market to make money in stocks.

Thousands of experts study the market and yet they can’t predict markets with any useful consistency.

Alex K Babu

ime and again since I joined Hedge Equities, I have heard the question on whether we’re in a good market or a bad market or whether the NIFTY will break a resistance or face a correction. I always tell them that the only thing I know about predicting markets is that every time I buy a stock, the market goes down! There goes my career as an economic forecaster down the drain.

“If professional economists can’t predict economies and professional forecasters can’t predict markets, then what chance does the amateur investor have?”Peter Lynch, widely regarded as one of America’s number-one money manager when he managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund from May 1977 to May 1990 often espoused a simple mantra for investment excellence: A Little Research. According to Lynch, average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick winning stocks as effectively as financial professionals by doing just a little research. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your immediate world – from the mall to

the workplace – one can discover potentially successful companies before professional analysts do.

Qualities of an investor Before investing in financial markets, one of the most important questions that an average investor needs to ask himself is: Do I have the personal qualities it takes to succeed? It seems that across the board, all successful investors like Buffet, Munger, and Lynch seem to reiterate again and again that the list of qualities ought to include Patience, Self-Reliance, CommonSense, a Tolerance for Pain, Open-mindedness, Detachment, Persistence, Humility, Flexibility and a Willingness to do INDEPENDENT RESEARCH (with an equal willingness to admit mistakes and the ability to ignore general panic).

Be vigilant It’s the rare investor who doesn’t secretly harbor the conviction that he or she has a

knack of divining stock prices or gold prices or interest rates, in spite of the fact that most of us have been proven wrong again and again. It’s uncanny how often people feel most strongly that stocks are going to go up or the economy is going to improve just when the opposite occurs.

Some have fancied themselves “long-term investors”, but only until the next big drop (or tiny gain), at which point they quickly become short-term investors and sell out for huge losses or the occasional miniscule profit. It’s easy to panic in this volatile business. It is said that the price of an average stock fluctuates 50% in an average year. Thus the key to investing is discipline, not erratic decisions based on gut feelings. Stand by your stocks as long as the fundamental story of the company hasn’t changed. If not, Lynch says that your only hope for increasing your net worth will be “Rise Early, Work hard, Strike Oil”.

f you are playing 21 questions and the clue was ‘actress with curly hair,’ there is no doubt that the answer would be Pearle Maaney.

There is so much more to Pearle Maaney than that, as we found out on an uncharacteristically sweltering December day at Fort Kochi. Actor, dancer, singer and anchor in an official capacity,

this young lady is also a photographer, artist and motivational speaker. This is where my jaw dropped as she bubbled over with energy though she is back after a session with college students and apologizes for being tired. As she gets ready for the shoot, we talk like old girl friends; about movies, diets, fashion and

inspirations.

Pearle is standing under the lights in front of the astounding portraits by Australian artist Daniel Connell. She looks inspired as she glances at the colors swirling in front of her.

When the artist passes by, she takes a moment to chat with him. She is a natural and interacts

wtzup.in/COVER with people with a familiarity that immediately makes you feel at ease. Then the inevitable ‘selfie’ session started and Pearle was all game.

She is excited about the Biennale as it takes over Kochi in a frenzy of color, texture and form.

There are plenty of events happening in the city and she is looking forward to the holidays with family, who are her biggest support.

You are getting to do some fun projects.

This year has been so exciting. We just wound up with the shooting of Double Barrel and D for Dance has been just incredible. The Double Barrel experience was just loads of fun. The cast was amazing and we got to travel together. At Goa, after the shoot we would all jump in and go to Anjuna beach or Shiva Valley. There would be people calling out Asif chetta and Raju chetta wherever we went. Isha Shervani is inspiring and the most flexible person I have met. Though they get recognized everywhere, I realized that these stars are just regular people. Though people come up to me these days, I don’t feel like a celebrity; I just feel like me.

D for dance has been breaking TRP ratings. It’s the most talked about show here.

The success of the show goes on to show that people want to watch simply fun and entertaining shows. I think there is enough negativity in real life that everyone just wants to switch on the television and unwind. Shows in a lighter vein are so much more popular. D for Dance is all about talent, passion and fun. It

is not scripted though there is a plot for every episode. We have an amazing team and there is a lot of women power behind the sets. Veena and Yamuna have been just great in managing everything and their eyes catch everything, be it the costumes or the lights.

How has the whole experience been so far?

Once it starts, my world revolves around D for Dance. I come from a joint family and the D for Dance crew reminded me of that. The episodes would be shot over couple of days once a month and it has been exhilarating.

Imagine something like six days and twenty episodes. We all got along famously and they are indeed my extended family. When I started anchoring; I would always doubt myself. Now it comes naturally and I really do enjoy myself.

We would be physically tired by the end of the shoot but would still be emotionally charged.

One day after work, we all went to Lulu mall including Priyamani, Neeravji. We went to Sparkys and had a blast on the rides. Have you been on the Jamaican ride? Neeravji was the only one not screaming.

Kids have such amazing opportunities these days, don’t they?

Children of today are really sharp. I feel sometimes that they can read my mind, especially after my stint with D for Dance.

Before when kids were asked to sing, they would shy away. Now they want to know which song, genre, artist…..so many questions! There are so many doors opening for them. At D for Dance they are really trained to face any challenge that comes their way. If you have noticed, the winners are always the ones who are ready to take on anything.

You sang wonderfully at the SRVC event. You also act, dance, anchor…..Is there something you cannot do?

Thank you. (Laughs) I have always been an energetic person. You will never find me sitting still. I never wanted to be an actress, it all just happened. I wanted to be an HR person or a motivational speaker like my father. He is really a great inspiration. We have all these ‘seeds’ in us that we should nurture and grow.

I do go to schools and colleges and interact with students. They are the fertile soil that we should cultivate. God has given us so many gifts and we should be willing to explore.

How does Pearle spend her free time?

My time after work is spent with friends or family. I hang out in Panampilly Nagar a bit. I go out for movies and most of the time you will find me experimenting with ‘nadan’ food at home. I dabble in dance, music and photography.

The Biennale is really changing things here right?

It is a great opportunity for everyone. I hope upcoming artists are really inspired by the success of the show. People need motivation to follow their dreams. When they see art flourishing like this, they will have the guts to go ahead with their talent.

You performed with M.I.A last Biennale?

There were eight of us backing her up. We did Paper Planes and YALA. M.I.A is an amazing person. Her sense of style is just beyond par.

She was particular that we all look funky for the performance. So we all went lungi shopping with her. We had so much fun. We cut up the lungis as hair accessories etc. M.I.A is truly creative. The Biennale really opens your mind.
