Without compromising on location, building materials, environmental values or ontime-delivery, the group has been registering a steadfast growth in the real estate sector.

The company began its operations with the Nucleus Reef Garden in Kochi which was followed

by Nucleus Styles, Nedumbasserry; a villa project near the Cochin International Airport. These early successes made the company move to the arteries of Kochi with highly-sought after apartment and villa projects in Vazhakkala (Nucleus White Rose), Kalamassery (Nucleus Symphony) and Edappally (Nucleus Rhyme), all of them sold out before their foundation stages. They see the staff, suppliers and the society in general as integral parts of their success and have always focused on inclusive

growth with well-planned growth opportunities, responsible rewards and CSR activities.

Nucleus Properties provides sales, rental and maintenance services. They have specialized teams that will process things in the right way so that you can get maximum value for your investment. Not only will they help you out in renting the place, but also in finding you one. Maintenance is sometimes more difficult than creation.

one equals three or more.”

Synergy > 1 + 1 = 3+.

What a beautiful concept. The word finds its roots in the Greek sunergos “working together.”

And, as Covey points out, when we work together, one plus one equals more than two.

I know I feel it in the teams and people I have been fortunate to work with. And it has always left me with a deep sense of gratitude for the power of our “working together.” In fact if we look around, we see synergy and co-operation as the corner stone of almost everything in nature. Buddha said, “This is because of That AND That is because of This”.

The process of discovering who we are and what our greatest gifts are and how we give those to the world is, at least in my experience,

an arduous one. We don’t just snap our fingers and say, “Aha! That’s it!” At least I didn’t. We pay attention to the financial markets because it has boomeranged into a crisis. But is it just the financial markets that are crisis ridden if we increasingly lose our ability to work with one another? How many other impending disasters exist that we turn a blind eye to – starting from the basics of our home, our health, our family, our friends, our society, our planet. For the world to live in harmony, a spirit of cooperation and synergy has to form the basis (and not a goal of control, domination, or one upmanship). Mankind has to soon evolve its view that the whole planet is one living, breathing organism, which needs to be protected from human greed, ignorance, and poor planning.

atching the unfolding drama on the US Debt impasse and its implications on financial markets and trade worldwide, I got drawn into thinking about how much there is to learn from the simple lessons on how nature coexists and takes care of one another. If there is one field where the strains on our ability to synergistically co-exist hit our belts and wallets immediately, it is the financial markets. The US Debt impasse or the European Crisis does not remain as isolated events of a country or region – it spirals into an interlocked, intertwined and seriously misunderstood web of cross-relations.

Almost like a pack of cards wherein if one falls, everything torpedoes!

Best Selling Author Stephen Covey notes that “Synergy is everywhere in nature. If you plant two plants close together, the roots comingle and improve the quality of the soil so that both plants will grow better than if they were separated. If you put two pieces of wood together, they will hold much more than the total weight held by each separately. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. One plus

wtzup.in/COVER When Mohanlal needed eight runs off one ball in Peruchazhi, we knew Mollywood would find a solution. There is no feat too big or no gesture too small for our stars. No wonder that our faith in our stars and the love for the game has made the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) so popular, and made AMMA’s Kerala Strikers win many hearts.

Start, Camera, Strikers!

The fifth season of the Celebrity Cricket League is back, and the Kerala Strikers have pitched a hard battle.

Maria John

T

his is what Wikipedia has to say about the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) : The Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) is a nonprofessional men’s cricket league in India, contested by eight teams consisting of film actors from Eight major regional film industries of Indian cinema. The league commenced in 2011. Since its inception, television viewership of CCL matches has grown to become more popular than the International Cricket Council (ICC) games.

Well, this explanation would satisfy many,

10

but we know that it does not do justice to the sheer magic of the game nor the exceptional individuals in the field. It would not be wrong to say that cricket and movies are a religion here. We pray as our batsmen prepare to face the ball, and we do poojas for the success of our movies, to say the least. So when our star actors stride across the green into the sunlight, we watch on with excitement. The success of the movie 1983 is a testament to that fact.

The Kerala Strikers have displayed a commendable performance over the various seasons of the League with the backing of all the great actors of the industry. AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) is part of many philanthropic activities. The cricket team that they have formed along with FWD Media Pvt Ltd and other sponsors, will increase the awareness for the sports and the morale of the players in the country. Our team which is supported by many prominent personalities, has a great team working for them.

The Striker’s dugout was always bustling with activity and you could catch a glimpse of the stars celebrating moments even with impromptu dances. Actor Edavela Babu has been managing the team while it is advised

by Chandra Senan. Under the coaching of Firoz V Rasheed, the team displayed good talent and technical improvements. So lets all chant together for the Kerala Strikers “Come on people! thanthanaanae, thanthanaanae.”

Something Fishy Prevent heart disease with fish oil: the arterial cleaner

F

Sheru Angrish

ish Oil is a powerhouse in keeping the people safe from heart disease. Many bodybuilders that use illegal anabolic steroids, but even standard “natural� bodybuilders should consider supplements that will spare them the heart disease associated with higher blood pressure. Anabolic steroids could possibly alter lipid profiles, so it is even more important for people using steroids to maintain safe lipid levels and blood pressure.

Fish Oil contains two main ingredients: DHA and EPA. These omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have a multitude of health benefits including increased fat burning and improved sugar metabolism, which are good for obvious reasons. In addition, EPA and DHA decrease the effect of genes involved in fat storage which helps maintain lean mass while bulking for body builders. They also downregulate genes involved in inflammation, which is an important marker of long-term health. EPA/ DHA has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke and sudden death along with improving blood lipid profiles by increasing the beneficial HDL cholesterol and slightly reducing the damaging LDL cholesterol. All of these things are great for exercise enthusiasts and are important for those who want to maintain maximum health and vitality.

Fish oil is a great source of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and implicates the reduction of bowel disorders and cancer of the bowel, which is of importance to anyone who is concerned about health. Colon cancer is a very common form of cancer that affects millions of people. Fish oil causes a reduction in platelet aggregation and stickiness which reduces arterial inflammation.

Finally, fish oil has shown to reduce liver tumor metastasis and formation, which is a good thing

12

for people. Take fish oil capsules in divided doses as a way to increase the positive effects of a healthy diet and keep blood lipids in check.

DENIM IS IN It’s cool, it’s comfy, it’s stylish and it’s trending.

B

e it for casual hangouts, or a day at work, we choose this fabric for all its comfort.

It is an investment, as it is durable and long lasting. Designers are recasting denim as a luxury experience. These days, there is a shift towards a more unpretentious wardrobe. Even non-denim wearers are getting tempted and opting for these tailored pieces.

At Milan Fashion Week, the casual wear staple re-emerged as a sophisticated choice in collections by luxury labels such as Bottega Veneta and Armani. The highwater jeans, that’s making its way in fashion, may not be a choice for everyone. Its skinny fit and above-ankle length will find its place in your wardrobe soon.

Before buying Enquire with the sales assistants with the nuances of fit associated with brands they represent and get the right size.

Always buy raw denim that is not washed after being dyed in production.

The more it weighs, the longer it stays, so go for heavy ones.

After the buy Wash your denim/jeans gentle with a non-abrasive detergent in cold water.

Never put it in the dryer! hang them to dry.

Lodgy to get lodged soon...

Renault is set to make its presence be felt in the MPV market. With a lot to offer, the Renault Lodgy is definitely going to change the game. Watch out!

F

rench automobile maker Renault is on a spin in the Indian market, with them trying to make their presence in every segment felt. They are now planning to enter the multipurpose vehicle (MPV) market with their seven-seater Lodgy. Their new addition Lodgy, will be a product of Romanian subsidiary Dacia, under which Duster was created. Lodgy has got nods for almost all the criterion to come under the MPV group; petrol and diesel mills, seven seat configuration and oodles of space all around.The other premium sedans are premium Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) Koleos, Fluence and Scala, compact SUV Duster and hatchback Pulse.

The word Lodgy is derived from the English word ‘Lodge’, suggesting that the car can accommodate a family and its luggage comfortably.

Renault used the second-generation Logan as a basis for the development of the Lodgy. Hence both these cars share the same underpinnings- known as the M0 platform. It will be the first example of a right-hand driven

version of the car anywhere in the world. The overall design of the Lodgy is clean and simple.

It has ample chrome on the front just like the Duster. The interiors provide plenty of space to seat a large family. The third row has 144mm legroom and 866mm headroom making it comfortable for adults to sit. It has 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine. Renault Lodgy is expected to come with a number of high spec safety and security features for maximum safeguards.

Features like ABS with EBD for efficient brake

system, multiple airbags for safety of driver and co-passenger and park assist sensors for facilitating easy parking are likely to come with this new upcoming SUV model.

It is believed that top-end variants of Renault Lodgy may come with touch screen multimedia infotainment system. A high quality door panel is also desirable in this utility vehicle.

Ukraine was the first international market for this model where this much awaited MPV seemed to flaunt its acquired French identity. A March 2015 date is being primed for the launch of the people carrier in the Indian market It has been undergoing extensive testing before it hits the market.
