"Madam, if I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful

5 bad food habits office-goers must change

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, watch a movie or a play or read a good book. Eating is not the only way to pamper yourself!

Sivaji The Boss – Songs Review

 Sivaji songs got released ‘officially’ yesterday(2nd April) andjust a day has got over, reports say that (though 3 songs popped out unofficially few days back) the audio sales is set to hit a new record !For eg. Spencer’s ‘music world’ alone had sold more than 500 cds till 3pm yesterday(read in a newspaper hoarding this morning) ! With piracy growing great guns daily, its amazing to see audio sales launch at this level. One might also think this initial sales might be just because of the hype givenby the dream combo Rajni+Shankar+ARR, and would reduce when days roll ! If you had thought on that lines, I would just say you’re simply wrong !

I heard these songs, in fact have been hearing, since yesterday morning, and they are different, and gets better everytime when heard…trademark ARR style songs ! In Chennai, there are seven FM

channels(active) and at a time one can hear a sivaji song being played atleast in any of these channels ! In short, at present talk of tamilnadu is SIVAJI-The Boss.Just a peep into these songs:-

1.Ballelakka – Na.Muthukumar- SPB and Chorus Rajni’s intro song ! But, this doesn’t comes under the category of typical Rajni intro song. You will not find any punch lines or any piece of advise.

A tamil folk style composition,spb at his best(breathless at few places, mind blowing ! ) and fans have to gear up to dance in the aisles for this song in the theatre. Special credit has to go to the lyricist, to have brought the gist of village tamizhar life in his pen- “aadu-maadu mela ulla paasam veetu ration cardil serka solli ketkum….verum thanni ketta moru tharum desam…pakkatthu veetukkum serthu samaikira anbu ingu vaazhum !”-very true indeed ! Good job sir !

In short, a song for the masses !.

2.Oru koodai sunlight-Pa.Vijai-Suresh peters,Blaze,Rags I did mention earlier that songs are different…this one would top that..i haven’t heard a song like this in any of the Indian movies so far….should be a trendsetter..ARR should have composed this one bearing two things in mind,

(i) the song should be different and the beat and ramp of the song should be worldclass and should make youngsters die for this one !

(ii) songs yaarukkum puria koodathu And ARR has succeeded in both ! The song is a kinda American jazz/rap or whatever they call.There are few Spanish lines in the song too . Sathyama solren, no one can sing this one in any orchestra ! In short, old people moonji sulikka vaikkum, youngsters puruvatthai uyarttha vaikkum !

3.Poombaavai aambal-Vairamuthu-Hariharan,Madhusree

Vairamuthu and ARR combo for a foot tapping duet in the voice of hariharan, so you could imagine how good it will be ! We know about Vairamuthu’s interest and expertise in writing romantic duets and this one is no exception. No one can match him in the usage of tamil words.(Fyi, aambal and mouval are names of flowers and the rest is for your imagination). Though vaaji..vaaji..sivaji sounds comical when said, when it comes from madhusree it will make you hum automatically.In short, a foot tapping duet and nice to hear.

4.Athiradikaran machan-Vaali-AR Rahman,Sayanora

Some of you who have heard these songs a couple of times could wonder that which song iam referring to here. “athiradikaaran machan..” idhu maadhiri yendha songum start aagalaye nu ! But, fyi this is the starting line of the ARR sung song. ARR has sung this song superbly(also telling himself that,” lyrics book paarkaamal oru payalukkum naama enna paadurom nu puria koodathu” ). But, to tell in a nutshell as one of my friend expressed after hearing this song in his own colloquial tamil – ” Rahman kizhiya vitrukaar da ! ” that’s exactly how the song is ! ARR at his best.. the beat, the pace, vocal etc are simply mindblowing…only vaali can pen for songs like this(in the series of sa re ga me from boys, even better than that)….”Billa, Ranga, Baasha dhan, ivan pistol pesum besha dhan…”- should be feast for thalaivar fans on screen J In short, a treat for youngsters and ARR lovers !

5.Sahana saaral-Vairamuthu-Udit narayan,chinmayee

-Vijay yesudas,gomathi sree Next song is ready for caller tunes ! Should be the caller tunes of many in the near future.Song comes twice in the cds, and the latter one is sung by vijay yesudas(a bit slower and pathos one). ARR trademark romantic melody(in the series of kaatre en vaasal, sonnalum ketpadhillai, munbe vaa etc). Very pleasant to hear. Though Udit has pronounced tamil with great lethargy, still this song would go as one the super hit melodies of 2007. ARR humming between Pallavi and saranam is amazing. Vairamuthu-Tamil vilayaaduthunga avar kitte. People who can understand tamil well, would raise their eye brows when heard this song closely.When I heard this song before I just thought “ippadi oru romantic song namma thalaivar ku thevaya nu?” but after seeing the stills of this movie, “kandippa thevai dhaan” In short, a pleasant melody. Will be liked by all.

5.The Boss-Na.Muthukumar-Blaze,Naresh Iyer

Supposed to be a small background song I guess(like B to the A, in Baba). Lyrics have been thrown as they wished to fill the wonderful beats(again)….”sachin adicha sixer, sivaji adicha puncture….” Lyricsts seemed to be in a hurry I guess….when this one is played during any fight sequence on screen, it will be just rocking to watch….hmm Shankar knows better ! In short, a powerful background song which will suit one and only for rajni !

As usual , if you don’t like ARR song first time, then its hit.. if u say “not bad” by hearing ARR song for first time, then its super hit, if u say “good” hearing the songs for the first time itself, its super duper hit….few songs are “not bad” at first time and few are “good” at first time !!! Its unusual to see Rajni songs without any punching lines and advise mazhai ! If I’m not wrong, the last time a rajni film had songs like this was for “thalapathi”..i also would say that the last film in which rajni had actually acted with all his acting skills (in others his acting skills didn’t have any meat to eat) was “thalapathi”…….If Shankar had extracted everything from Rajnikanth as an actor (the rajni we had seen in mullum malarum,6 -60 varai, thalapathy etc), what better can he do for cinema lovers !!!

The released audio and the stills of the movie(Rajni looks amazing in that, that too the one with guitar in hand) have increased the expectations a lot.Now, the question is will Shankar satisfy the expectation ? But one can be assured that, if at all the movie is not great, it wont be worse.

In short, Tamilnadu awaits a grand feast in May!
