Stress Management

by Priscilla ButhelloAnything that keeps you away frombeing yourself causes stress.

Stress occurs when the pressure isgreater than the resources.

It is a byproduct of the reactionpeople have to excessive pressure. It isdominated by worry, anxiety and hencedifficult to cope with. The process ofstress management is one key to ahappy and a successful life in modernsociety. Although it provides numerousdemands that can prove difficult tohandle, stress management alsoprovides a number of ways to manageanxiety and maintain overall well –being.

Traditionally it wasconceptualized to be a result of externalinsults beyond the control of thoseexperiencing the stress. More recentlyhowever it has been argued thatexternal circumstances do not haveintrinsic capacity to produce stress, butinstead their effect is mediated by theindividual perceptions, capacities andunderstanding.

Firstly recognize thesource of negative stress. This is not anadmission of weakness or inability to

Techniques to manage stress.

• Change your thinking: Be morepositive in your approach. Focus onyour strengths – learn from the stressyou are under – look for opportunities –seeking out the positive – make achange.

Change your behavior (Perfectionists,Workaholics, “My – Way” thinking):Instead be assertive – get organized.Modify personality traits

Change your life style: Each one isaware of their lifestyle and the way it isaffecting them, make necessarychanges within your reach and capacityto your advantage.

Most of the stress we experience isoften self-generated. The first steptowards coping with stress is accepting“It’s we who create most of our upsetsin life.”

The Panama Papers

“Panama Papers,” have embarrassed

several world leaders and shone a spotlight

on the shadowy world of offshore

companies. Mossack Fonseca, who

practises fiscal optimization and specializes

in setting up offshore companies, has said it

broke no laws, destroyed no documents, and

all its operations were legal. Governments

across the world have begun investigating

possible financial wrongdoing by the rich

and powerful.

The papers have revealed financial

arrangements of prominent figures. We

have perused some of the Papers, but

haven’t yet identified any members of our

community. We are not so lucky or so

destined! Indians have been named. No East

Indians? Is this discrimination?

So early one morning last month, while

driving for a Board of Management meeting

in SoBo, the hot topic of the morning was

the Panama Papers. I sensed a mood of

affront at being left out. There was no way,

with my career as a Solopreneur that could

have given me the financial backing to be

listed. This was sheer betwaddlement. It

gave us a sense of premature ventricular

contractions.

So that evening when I returned home, I

began making calls to the Fonsecas from

Bandra, then the Fonsecas from Cavel, the

Fonsecas from Colaba, Kandivli, Mt.

Poinsur, Borivli, Orlem, Kalina, Kurla,

Marol, but all were negative in response

They also clarified that they were unaware

of any relatives in Panama.

It must be clarified that Mossack Fonseca is

a banking entity dealing in money

laundering, not American Express

Laundry! It must be understood that Shell

corporations were not the type of shells you

find at Gorai beach, nor those offshore

corporates near Manori or Uttan. Tax

havens and God’s heavens is like chalk and

cheese.

So why does this new mega-leak seemingly

only expose those in some countries’

crosshairs or expendable others? And what

does this have to do with the OECD’s plan

for a global taxation grid? How hundreds of

millions of dollars are hidden around the

globe in complex financial structures?

Perhaps Mossack Fonseca was unpopular

with some clients.

Nevertheless, this revelation was an eye

opener of how the other half has various

modes of banking. If nothing, it made very

interesting reading.

perspective)

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING

Desmond Aloysius FernandesAs the months breeze gracefully by and

we step into steaming May, warm and

teary memories flood my mind,

reminiscing about the happy and warmth-

filled holidays we enjoyed at our East

Indian Aunts’ homes at Old Kurla and

scenic Gorai. This was decades ago

during my youthful years. Hardly would

we arrive there when plans were

underway: “What do you like to eat for

lunch and dinner?”

The only cooking mode there was the

“Chula” with firewood. Hand breads

were baked on ‘Khapris’. Often these

breads were given crisp with our next

morning ‘fuslons’ of tea. Lunch would

comprise of fried fish, vegetables and rice

with “dried bomblos Chinchowni”.

Dinner made up of mild stew or spicy

‘khudi’. After every meal fruits were

served – green bananas cut into three

pieces or sweet limes cut into four parts.

Ice-cream made a home in pails, was

served on Sundays – nothing fanciful yet

very filling and indeed satisfying. Great

simple holidays.

With limited resources and without the

expectation of any reward, from day-

break to back-break, they would work

unceasingly. Foremost in their minds,

was the thought “the best had to be done

to please us.” All this could be described,

in just one, plain, simple word “Love”.

What is Love? No, it is not what the

hoardings proclaim nor what the movies

depict. Love is what you are willing to

sacrifice for the other. The greater the

sacrifice, the greater the love.

In 1976, a car accident tore open the head

of a 21-year- old Chicago boy named

Peter. His brain was damaged and he was

thrown into a deep coma. The Doctor told

Peter’s family and friends that he

probably would not survive. Even if he

did, he’d always be in a state of coma.

One of the persons who heard this

frightening news was Linda, the girl

Peter planned to marry.

In the sad days ahead, Linda spent all her

spare time in the hospital. Night after

night, she would sit at Peter’s bedside, pat

his cheek, rub his brow and talk to him.

All the while Peter remained in a coma

and did not respond to Linda’s loving and

caring presence. For three and a half

months, she fondly sat beside him,

speaking words of comfort and

encouragement to him, even though he

gave no sign that he heard her.

One night Linda saw Peter’s toe move. A

few nights later, she saw his eye-lashes

flutter. This was all she needed. Against

the advice of the doctors, she quit her job

and became his constant companion. She

spent hours massaging his arms and legs.

Eventually, she arranged to take him

home. All her savings she lavished on

him, hoping and praying that her efforts

would restore life to Peter’s motionless

limbs.

Then came the day when Peter spoke his

first words after the accident. It was only

a grunt. Gradually, with Linda’s help,

those grunts turned into clear words.

Finally, the day came when Peter was

able to ask Linda’s Father if he could

marry her. Linda’s Father said: “When

you can walk down the aisle, Peter, she

will be yours.” Two years later Peter

walked down the aisle of Our Lady of

Pompeii Church in Chicago, with Linda,

his bride. He had to use a walker, but he

was walking.

What a lovely story about true love and

what a beautiful commentary on the

words of Jesus “I give you a new

commandment: Love one another”. The

story of Linda and Peter emphasizes that

this kind of love has tremendous power,

a miraculous power. It has the power to

bring people back from the verge of

death to life. It has the power to give

hope to the people who are in despair. It

has the power to give joy to the sick, the

suffering and the down-trodden. By your

love you can make a DIFFERENCE.

“Love is not put in your heart to stay.

Love isn’t love until it’s given away”

Contributed by B. P. D'Mello“PAWLI!” has nothing to do with

“Thaku Bawli” – wooden doll or a

nickname for Pauline of the Indian

wrestler. In the good old days, 1943-50

the ‘pawli’ was the main coin of

exchange. It was of the value of 1/4th the

rupee, and of intrinsic value. My mother

used to give me one ‘pawli’ for a haircut.

No tips in those days. While the rich

would put a rupee in the charity box,

lesser mortals would drop a ‘pawli’. You

could buy a cake of Tata’s Hamam soap

for a ‘pawli.’ Baban, the bahaya outside

BERTIE'S Treat-Bits

St Stanislaus School gates would sell

toffee and dried boras for a ‘pawli.’

Between 1943-50 our 2.50 acre

farmhouse was in Amboli, the name

derived from ‘amba.’Or mango. My step

uncle, the late Dr Philip Braz D’Melllo,

built his ‘Lal Bungala” on this plot,

British style, in addition to his Scottish

house “Bothemby Hall’ in Edinburgh. In

the Amboli house there were plenty of

coconut, alphonso and other fruiting

trees. My mom was the Sales Manager

and the farmhouse products were sold @

one ‘pawli’each. Long live the Pawli!

HAPPENINGS:

Ajit Tendulkars recent toast to the brothers.

“I have had a long association with the Coutos. When Sachin was selectedin the Indian team for the first time, Marcus was the first one to inform me.He helped me a lot in my book on Sachin, with the statistics and otherdetails. And Ricky's picture is there in the book with Sachin and Kambli,sitting on the same bench in their class. Sachin had raised the toast at Rick'swedding and I think next would be Arjun raising the toast in future.” Ajitwent on to say that the Couto brothers are fascinated about cricket and thename Dale (son) is after the fast bowler. He was not sure about Dale's lovefor cricket but he is handsome and will bowl lots of maidens (girls) over!
