[www.keralites.net] Meet India’s Anand Arnold – the nation’s first wheelchair bodybuilder [2 Attachments]

 


Meet India's Anand Arnold – the nation's first wheelchair bodybuilder

story of Ludhiana's 28-year-old Anand Arnold, who battled cancer and paralysis at the age of 15 to become India's first wheelchair bodybuilder.

Anand Arnold began bodybuilding at the age of 13, and bagged his first title that very year. However, tragedy struck the young fitness enthusiast at the age of 15. He was diagnosed with cancer in his lower spinal chord and surgery left him paralysed.


I started winning titles the moment I got back to my training. I've been crowned Mr. India thrice, Mr Punjab 12 times, and also have 27 other titles to my name.



Training on a wheelchair is not easy at all. For the average person it takes several weeks, at times even several months, to get ready for a competition. But it takes me at least a year. But I am a warrior and I will fight till the end. I do all this without taking any extra supplements or steroids. I think that in itself is a huge achievement.

My father, who is has retired from the Air Force, has been the one who's always ensured that I get whatever I need, be it for my diet, my training or my competitions. I am really grateful to him and to my family for supporting me through and through.

Although I've achieved so much, I feel it's just the beginning. I still have lots to achieve in life. I want to be an example for inspiration and motivation. I want to help people who've given up hope in life to get inspired and fight back to stand on their feet.

[www.keralites.net] Interesting ----NIMBU PANI!

 

Interesting ----NIMBU PANI!

Everyone should plant lemon trees...

LISTEN UP FOLKS: This is something that we should all take seriously – just had a recent test myself that sent shivers up my spine – or near by – Even doctors are now saying that there is value in trying "LEMON," so, a tablespoon of "real lemon" (the concentrate in a bottle) in a glass of water every morning. What can it hurt?

Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD 1201.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer! Read carefully and you be the judge.

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that
lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multi-millionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc...

It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the
effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti-microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and as an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one
of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemo-therapeutically in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

SEND TO EVERYONE ... Please!

[www.keralites.net] Magical Winter Of Children!

 

I Capture Magical Winter Of My Children To Immortalize The Nostalgia Of Holiday Season

 

On those short winter days when the roads are covered in snow, I take photos of my kids and their cousins to preserve the magic of this wonderful season. Both indoors and outdoors, during short days and long winter evenings, I capture the feeling of anticipation and nostalgia. With those photos I try to recall the feelings I used to have in my heart when I was a child and try to make others remember the magic of Christmas too.

 

Insomnia

The secret path to the land of dremas

Secrets

Under the moonlight

On the way to the land of dreams

Light up with stars

Desires

Waiting for Santa

One wintry night

First snow

Wonderland

Waiting for Christmas

Snowy day

Nighty night!

[www.keralites.net] 10 Steps to Dealing With The Negative People in Your Life

 

Ten Steps to Dealing With Negative People

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."

You may be in daily interaction with negative people, be they friends, family members, a romantic partner or colleague. You love them, you care about them, you can't just cut them out of your life, but they are negative and their negativity is eating away at you. What can you do?

 

negative person

 

The best way of dealing with life's challenges is to take a good look at ourselves and take responsibility for what we think, feel and do.

 

Never give your power away by blaming others for what you have or don't have, what you feel or don't feel. Once you do so, you'll become a victim of circumstance, and instead of using your time and energy to beat life's challenges, you'll sink to a dark and miserable place. 

 

Here are 10 smart, positive and effective ways of dealing with the negativity of the people close to you:

 

1. Give up the need to complain

Make sure you are taking responsibility for your feelings and mood. Don't go complaining that other people's negativity is affecting you, because it will only create more negativity. Take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings and see what you can do to make yourself feel better and change the existing situation.

 

"Whoever has limited knowledge of human nature and seeks happiness by changing everything but his own attitude, will waste his life in futile efforts."
Samuel Johnson. 

 

 

2. Similarity Attracts

Good brings about good, bad brings about bad, and if we want to or not, we pull into our lives events, situations and people that reflect our internal state. Ask yourself: "How am I feeling? Am I happy, excited, thankful and calm? Or am I anxious, frustrated and judgmental?"

 

You may find that you radiate misery to the environment and that part of the negative energy surrounding you is in fact a reflection of yourself.

 

 

3. Don't believe everything you think

This is definitely one of the hardest things to learn. Look closely at the negative people in your life. What is it about them that gets you going? What affects you so much? Is what they are doing really that bad or is your brain playing games with you?

 

Remember, the brain is configured to look for trouble, and it focuses on other's negative qualities. It'll be very hard to get it to see the positive side of things, but it doesn't mean it's not there.

 

 

4. Focus

Ask yourself: "Am I ready to find the good in these people? Am I able to see their good qualities?" Let the answers come naturally, make sure you are being honest with yourself.

 

If you feel like you're insistent and won't change the way you are looking at people and situations, don't give yoursef a hard time. This takes time and patience, and when you are ready, you'll make this step. Remember, we all have good in us.

 

"It's so hard when I NEED to do it and so easy when I WANT to do it."
Annie Gottlier.

 

 

5. Don't make their problems YOUR problems

For their sake and yours, make sure you are not adopting their problems and becoming negative about them yourself. If you want to cure negativity, sliding down right along with the negative person won't help, it will just make it worse by validating their thought and behavioral patterns. Rather, focus on solutions, not problems. Offer that and nothing else.

 

 

 

7. Come with your own positive energy

Focusing on negative energy cannot create positive energy, and the other way around is also true. Focus on making yourself happy enough that you have great positive energy, and you will see the negativity cringing away from it. 

 

Remember, energy is contagious!

 

How to put up positive energy? Focus on the things you like about the negative people, focus on things you love about yourselves, life and the world around you. Think of loved ones, of things that make you happy. That way, you will increase the positive energy exponentially.

 

If you incur negative energy by thinking about bad things, the opposite is also true, and you'll be able to hopefully 'wake up' your fellow workers. You can't focus on them both at the same time, so choose - happiness or misery.

 

 

8. Be part of the change you'd like to see

The world is no more than a reflection of who we are, deep inside. Try to go for a feeling of well-being, to live a positive life, a merry life, that has love, trust, and the pursuit of happiness. We cannot change others, but only ourselves. This is the only way to change the world. 

 

Think of it this way: When you are happy, the world seems happy, and the sky is open and blue. When you are sad, the world seems sad as well, and the sky is grey and uncaring, leaving you alone to deal with your pain.

 

Flow with life events, don't resist them, live in harmony and be the change you wish to see in the world.

 

"Never underestimate your power to change yourself. Never overestimate your power to change others."
Wayne W. Dyer.

 

 

9. Awareness and acceptance

Work on understanding life's inevitable duality - accept the negative with the good. Don't harp on people's negativity, don't judge or fight them. Let them be, look and accept. Remember, your world is no more real than a reflection of who you are, deep inside. Don't try to bring everyone into your own world, accept theirs as no less real than yours, and their point of view as no less valid. 

 

The hardest part of acceptance is accepting that, sometimes, some people cannot be changed. Their negativity is something they will defend to the last drop. Not because it gives them pleasure, but because they think it is a natural part of themselves. Even though it's never too late to try and change that point of view, some never will. It is up to you to either accept their negativity and react accordingly, or take your distance from them. This is especially hard when it is someone we love.  

 

"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of others."
Carl Jung.

 

 

10. Move forward

Dealing with negativity and trying your best to disspell it can be exhusting, and at some point you have to move on with your life in a positive way. Find a path that allows you to go on with your life without the negativity of others, but also without the regret that leaving a loved one or friend behind may cause you.

 

Make your feelings known to them, make them understand they are hard to be around, and slowly decrease your contact. If they want you to stay in their lives, they will be forced to at least pretend to be less negative, and pretending is the first step to actually becoming less negative. The more we act a certain way, the more we believe in it.
