This is something we all Indians would love to dream
of... Year : 2050
Place : Two Americans at IBM, USA.
Currency Conversion Rate: Rs.1 = $1000
Alex :
Hi John,
You didn't come yesterday to office? John : Yeah, I was in
Indian Embassy for stamping.
Alex: Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become
very strict.
John : Yeah, but I managed to get it.
Alex : How long it took to get it stamped?
John : Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. That's why it got delayed. I
went there at 2 am itself and waited and returned by 4pm.
Alex : Really? In India, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for
USA.
John : Yeah, but that is because who in India will be interested in
coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.
Alex : So,when are you leaving?
John : Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and
you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air- India. Sort of
dream come true.
Alex : How long are you going to stay in India? John : What do you mean
by how long? I will be settled in India, my company has promised me
that they will process my Hara Patta.
Alex : Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara
Patta in India. John : Yeah, that's why, I am planning to marry an
Indian girl there.
Alex : But you can find lots of US girls in Bangalore, Hyderabad and
Mumbai.
John : But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and
cultured.
Alex : Where did you get the offer, Bangalore? John : Yeah, salary is
good there, but cost of living is quite high, it is Rs. 1000/- for
a single room accommodation.
Alex : I see, that's too much for US people, Rs. 1/ = $ 1000/-. Oh God!
What about in Hyderabad, Chennai & Mumbai?
John : No idea, but it is less than what we have in Bangalore. It is
like the world headquarters of Software.
Alex : I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal
Robot for help.
John : You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for
less than Rs. 7500/-.But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which
costs Rs.200000/-.
Alex : By the way, who is your client?
John : A pure Indian origin company, specializing in
Embedded Software.
Alex : Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian origin
company. They are really intelligent and unlike American Body shoppers
who have opened their Fly-by-night outfits in India. Indian companies
pay you in full even when you are on bench. My friend Paul Allen, it
seems, used his bench time to visit Bihar, the most livable place in
India, probably world. There you have full freedom and no restrictions.
You can do whatever you want! I wonder how that state has
perfected that system.
John : Yeah man, you are right. I hope our America also follows their
footsteps.
Alex : How are you going to cope with their language? John : Why not?
From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my first language
here at New York.At the Consulate they proficiency in tested my
Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent percent score in TOHIL (Test
of Hindi as International Language).
Alex : So, you are going to have fun there.
John : Yeah, I will be traveling in the world's fastest train, world's
largest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actors
like, Vrithik(son of Hrithik), and all. Esselworld is also
near to Bollywood.
Alex : You know, the Indian PM is scheduled to visit US next year, he
may then relax the number of visas.
John : That's true. Last month, Narayanamurthy Jr. visited White House
and donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon
Valley and has promised more if we follow the model of Silicon City of
Bangalore. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky
person.
Alex : But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy
Jr.'s Infosys & Sons.
John : He is a hard worker man like his father, he can build any number
of Infosys like this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It
seems, if you keep all his money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can
reach Pluto.
Alex : OK, Good Luck
John. John : Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a Kurta
Pyjama because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you
will ever come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected.
But don't forget to say "Namaste, aap kaise hai" to the Visa. It seems
he likes that and will not give you a visa if you don't greet him
that way.
