Senior Citizen

An old lady goes to her bank and presents a cheque for Rs 1000/- to the cashier.

Cashier: Dadi ji, you should withdraw such small amounts from the ATM outside. Don't waste a cheque leaf and my time.

Old lady: What's the problem with giving me Rs 1000/- cash?

Cashier: Sorry Dadi ji, can't be done. You either go to the ATM, or increase the amount to be withdrawn.

Old lady: Okay, I want to withdraw all money in my account, keeping a minimum mandatory balance.

The cashier checks her account balance and finds it to be  Rs 10 lakhs 10 Thousand.

Old lady: How much can you give me right now?

Cashier: (checks the bank's cash balance) Dadi ji, I can give you Rs 10 lakhs straight away.

The old lady tears off the earlier cheque of Rs 1000/-, writes a new one for Rs 10 lakhs and hands it to the cashier.

While the young girl is gone to the vault to get the cash, the old lady grabs a cash deposit slip from the public shelf and fills it up.

The young girl returns with the cash, meticulously counts out Rs 10 lakhs, gives it to the old lady and says_ "there you are, Dadi ji. Now you will have to carry this pile home on your own. But count your money before leaving the counter. I won't entertain any complaint later."

The old lady picks out two notes of Rs 500/- from the pile, puts them in her purse and says_ "I trust you, beta, I don't need to count. Now, here's a cash deposit slip. Please deposit Rs 9,99,000/- into my account and give me the stamped and signed counterfoil. And yes, count the cash in my presence."

Moral of the story: 
Don't mess with senior citizens!

DON'T DIE WITH YOUR DEAD...

Did you know that when you cry for your dead, you cry for you and not them? You cry because you “lost them”, because you don’t HAVE THEM by your side. You think it all ends in death. And you think they are NOT there anymore. So if you’re dead no more, where are they? Yes they have left, or they are now somewhere else, is that place better than this? Yes, definitely that place is better than this; so Why do you suffer for their departure? When you have finished accepting that they are no longer "NOT here", but they are still in another place even better than this, for they’re where they are no longer sick, or suffering. Then you'll stop mourning them and you'll get them back in memory so they keep accompanying you with the joy of all that you've lived. If you truly loved them LOVE them AGAIN and this time with greater strength, with greater purity, with greater delivery. Today, there will be no more reproach of any kind. Only LOVE, will be the essence b...

India needn’t follow ‘broken’ US healthcare model

India is at a good vantage point and needs to create its own path.  We need not follow the path that has led the United States to become a billion-dollar market for Big Pharma’s dream run. February 13, 2023   North America is Big Pharma’s wet dream, with 45% of the global market share coming from just 4% of the total world population. Mayo Clinic found 70% of Americans are prescribed at least one medication including, antibiotics, anti-depressants, and painkillers. What better than to model the whole world, after this dream run?  OVER-DIAGNOSED AND OVER-MEDICATED  In 1976, Henry Gadsden, CEO of Merck &Co., told Fortune magazine, he wanted Merck “to be like chewing gum maker Wrigleys”. He said: “It has long been my dream to make drugs for healthy people because then Merck would be able to ‘sell to everyone’.” This interview was reproduced by Moynihan Cassels in his book,  Selling Sickness. This strategy works to make everyone–a patient–and sell perpetual, chr...

Breathe Learn & Let go...

You are an ocean of unrealised potential You cannot imagine how deep and how wide your capacity really is unless it’s been tested, until you’ve been moved beyond where you thought your limits were, and have had to redefine them. In this, you find new energy. You find better rhythm. You rediscover everything you believed you had lost.  Our life force can never truly escape us, but it can be withheld until our bodies feel safe enough to begin again. Give yourself the time you need to regulate to your new normal, let yourself witness with each passing day that it is once again okay to exhale, to step outside your comfort zone, to trust in the unknown. Slowly, you will learn to take hold of that wild spirit within you once again, and this time, you will be more focused, you will be more intentional. You will be more discerning about who and what you allow into your life, into your headspace. You will move forward with more mindfulness. You will begin to see that when your e...
