Cyclist - An Economic Disaster!
The CEO of the Euro Exim Bank Ltd. got the economists thinking when he said :
"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy - He does not buy the car and does not take car
loan - Does not buy car insurance - Does not buy fuel - Does not send his car for servicing and
repairs - Does not use paid parking - Does not become obese - Yes,......and well, damn it!!
Healthy people are not needed for economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to hospitals
and doctors. They add nothing to the country's GDP. On the contrary, every new McDonald outlet
creates at least 30 jobs - 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 Weight loss experts apart from people
working in the McDonald outlet.
Choose wisely : A Cyclist or a McDonald? Worth thinking.

Wuhan's Contribution to the World!
(a) The Hong Kong demonstrations have completely stopped and its social order is back to normal.
(b) The yellow vest demonstration in France, which has been going on for more than 60 weeks, was
terminated by the arrival of a woman from Wuhan.
(c) The increasing tension of war in the middle east between Iran and the US has suddenly cooled
down.
(d) The tuition centers where the kids get stressed have all closed down suddenly - something that
the ministry of education was never able to do before.
(e) All Chinese husbands are staying home accompanying their wives and vice versa. The longest
family reunion for day and night, the Chinese wives have never experienced being together for
so long, cultivating the moment of true love seeing each other 24/7. They say love is poisonous
but what love really needed was this new Coronavirus!

Fauji Bicycle!
You may have heard the story of the young officer 50 yrs ago, when he got a bicycle loan and purchased one from the unit canteen.
The cycle was a beauty (the way mobikes/cars are today) but did not have a carrier at the back.
So he sent his orderly to get one fixed.
When the cycle came back with the carrier fitted, the YO (Young Officer) noted that the stand was missing.
He went to the CSD authorised cycle dealer and asked him why the stand had been removed.
He was told, "Sahib ji, fauj mein ek hi cheeze mil sakti hai - Career ya Stand. Agar stand loge tho Career khatam or agar Career banana hai tho stand kabhi mat lena".
Tailpiece.
Got up around a half past 5, went through the chores and was out for my walk at about 10' past 6. It was refreshing! We were ready well within time. It was a quiet day, otherwise.
Seena, Lekha's, beautician had dropped by in the afternoon.
