Hello all you lovely people, while I am all set to leave for the airport, my mind is heavy with concern pertaining to the alarming rise in swine flu patients in our country. While precautionary measures were being doled out on TV, 3 days ago I scurried to buy myself a mask wanting to use it at the airport! Imagine my dismay at learning masks were out of stock at the medical stores (but are being sold at three times the cost by some unscrupulous stores!) it’s insane that people could think of capitalizing in such grave situations. I finally procured mine from my dentists where I had an appointment yesterday. So as hideous as I might look I will be donning mine at the airport! Hoping to reach NY, devoid of any virus!
Looking forward to reaching New York, where I am invited to be the Grand Marshal for the Independence Day Parade, which will happen on the 16th August. Indeed a proud moment considering the 1st Grand Marshall was Raj Kapoor. It’s endearing to know that every year NRIs congregate in huge numbers to celebrate the fact that they are proud Indians. Hope I add to their joy. Sweet! Anyway after that I stop over at London to make another announcement, you will hear of it soon 
been a hectic week, shifting my office. Phew! It’s a never-ending job, my Medispa is up and running and am so excited about my next venture. Can’t wait to tell u guys! Return in two weeks, and hope and pray this Serious Swine flu situation tides away… please take care, Prevention is better than cure. On that note will say goodbye, take care of your health and for those ill, get well soon. will write soon!

Hello Shilpa,
Welcome to US!!! Some people do not think that as human beings we need to help each other in this situation. Some of them are only business-minded. I’m praying to the ALMIGHTY that everybody in this world should be healthy and happy. Take care and have a lovely trip here in the US!!!
