Hand Shake and H1N1 or any other Disease
No offense but what is it with hand shaking business with Indians. I mean what is it so special if you seeing each other every day and even sometimes if they go out of office for a while and when they come back they still want to shake hands. Aren’t they aware of the swine flu pandemic all over the word and don’t they worry to get the virus from hand shaking with almost everybody they say hello to?

Handshaking is practiced by most irregardless if there is a swine flu pandemic or not. This is also a part of the daily business practices, especially in the office. The best you can do is just to politely tell the other person that you cannot do the handshaking thing, or just go along with it, but make sure you wash your hands or apply hand sanitizer everytime.
