Affluenza…..an infectious disease which is more threatening that HINI…

A dear ex-colleague in India told me about the new social disease called Affluenza.

I think I do not need to elaborate on the causes and symptoms.

Recently, I read in the newspaper that the HINI virus is more likely to survive longer and proliferate in air conditioned environment [as opposed to humid environment] and on glass surfaces.

That puts all office workers at risk especially in high-rise offices with lots and lots of windows and very chilled environment. Affluenza!!!!

The farmer with nature as his office and no glass surface, or the blue collar workers have less worry. It is a white collar workers’ problem!

This reminds me of the mosquitoes who fly between cities in India via the aeroplane. Boarding the plane from the tarmac meant mosquitoes also got up the plane and they survive the high altitude and arrive in the city of disembarkation with the other passengers. Affluenza!!!

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
