Of Jasmine and beetles

The editorial i put up in 3rd edition, maybe something incomprehensible to you more so about insects and FMD outbreak but this is truly internationale article to be enjoyed by people whose playground is world :


As third edition of the newsletter rolls out we reflect back pleasantly sipping our Jasmine tea without brewing up any storm in our tea cup whilst another boiling of ‘Jasmine’ is taking place in Middle East this time a real storm blowing away entrenched ones packing off them as tourists to distant lands wanted or unwanted by hosts but meanwhile Vietnam has some unwanted tourists these days, they come without visa or passport and do not sport any kind of shades or even khaki shorts, no..no not at all they are not even illegal migrants in strict sense, ‘Khapra beetles’ those innocent looking insects severly challenging entomologists somehow went piggy riding on corn’s back but not everyone is as visitor friendly and were turned unceremoniously back, talking of piggy riding, hog’s are having quite tough sailing in Far East with everyone suddenly interested in their pedicures/ manicures and which does not stop with checking of ‘foot and mouth’ only.
All in all eventful three editions and three quarters more to come ,end of this quarter is a major customer event for all of us and being sharp as always we know which side of our bread is buttered although never would we admit treating customer as cash cow still all are ready to milk the opportunity to fullest.
