Pakistanis may substitute India with Pakistan, dreams remain the same.
One day if it comes… 1 Indian Rupee = US $100. What will happen then???
This is what will happen one day:
PLACE - TWO AMERICANS AT IBM, USA.
ALEX: HI JOHN, U DIDNT COME YESTERDAY TO OFFICE?
JOHN: YEAH, I WAS AT THE 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. BILL GATES WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF ME AND THEY PLAYED WITH HIM LIKE ANYTHING, THATS WHY IT GOT DELAYED, I WENT THERE AT 2 AM ITSELF AND WAITED AND RETURNED BY 4 PM.
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 WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COMING TO USA MAN, THEIR ECONOMY HAS BEEN BOOMING.
ALEX: SO, WHEN ARE U LEAVING?
JOHN: ANYTIME, AFTER RECEVING MY TICKETS FROM THE CLIENT IN INDIA AND U KNOW, I WILL BE GETTING A CHANCE TO FLY AIR INDIA. SORT OF DREAM COME TRUE.
ALEX: HOW LONG R U GOING TO STAY IN INDIA? JOHN: WHAT DO U 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, THATS WHY, I AM PLANNING TO MARRY AN INDIAN GIRL THERE.
ALEX: BUT YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF AMERICAN GIRLS IN HYDERABAD, BANGALORE AND MUMBAI.
JOHN: BUT , I PREFER INDIAN GIRLS COZ THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND CULTURED.
ALEX: WHERE DID U GET THE OFFER, HYDERABAD?
JOHN: YEAH, SALARY IS GOOD THERE, BUT COST OF LIVING IS QUITE HIGH, IT IS Rs. 1000 FOR A SINGLE ROOM ACCOMODATION.
ALEX: I SEE, THATS TOO MUCH FOR US PEOPLE, RS1 = $100, OH GOD! WHAT ABOUT IN CHENNAI, MUMBAI?
JOHN: NO IDEA, BUT IT IS LESS THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN HYDERABAD. IT IS LIKE THE WORLD HEADQUARTERS OF SOFTWARE.
ALEX: I HEARD, ALMOST ALL THE INDIANS HAVE ONE PERSONAL ROBO FOR HELP.
JOHN: U CAN GET A BMW CAR FOR RS 5000, AND A PERSONAL ROBO FOR LESS THAN RS 7500. BUT MY DREAM IS TO PURCHASE AMBASSADOR, WHICH COSTS Rs.200,000 BUT HAS GOT SEXY DESIGNING.
ALEX: BY THE WAY, WHO IS U R CLIENT?
JOHN: REDDY AND NAIDU ASSOCIATES, A PURE INDIAN COMMPANY, SPECIALISING IN EMBBEDED SOFTWARE.
ALEX: OH, REALLY, LUCKY TO WORK IN A PURE INDIAN COMPANY, THEY ARE REALLY INTELLIGENT AND UNLIKE AMERICAN BODYSHOPPERS WHO HAVE OPENED THEIR FLY BY NIGHT OUTFITS IN INDIA, INDIAN COMPANIES PAY U IN FULL EVEN WHEN U R ON BENCH. MY FRIEND PAUL ALLEN, IT SEEMS, USED HIS BENCH TIME TO VISIT BIHAR, THE MOST LIVABLE PLACE IN INDIA, PROBABLY WORLD. THERE U HAVE FULL FREEDOM AND NO RESTRICTIONS. U CAN DO WHATEVER U WANT!!! I WONDER HOW THAT STATE HAS PERFECTED THAT SYSTEM .
JOHN: YEAH MAN, U R RIGHT. I HOPE OUR AMERICA ALSO FOLLOWS IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS. ALEX: HOW ARE U GOING TO COPE WITH THEIR LANGUAGE? JOHN: WHY NOT ? FROM MY SCHOOL DAYS I’VE BEEN LEARNING HINDI AS MY FIRST LANGUAGE HERE AT NEW YORK. AT THE CONSULATE THEY TESTED MY PROFICIENCY IN HINDI AND WERE QUITE IMPRESSED BY MY PERFECT SCORE IN TOHIL (TEST OF HINDI THE OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE).
ALEX: SO, U R GOING TO HAVE FUN THERE? JOHN: YEAH, I WILL BE TRAVELLING IN THE WORLD’S FASTEST TRAIN, WORLD’S LARGEST THEME PARK, AND THE FAMOUS BOLLYWOOD WHERE U CAN SEE ACTORS LIKE AMITABH, RAJANIKANTH, CHIRANJEEVI AND ALL. ESSEL WORLD IS ALSO NEAR BOLLYWOOD.
ALEX: U KNOW, VAJPAYEE IS SCHEDULED TO VISIT US NEXT YEAR, HE MAY THEN RELAX THE NUMBER OF VISAS.
JOHN: THATS TRUE. LAST MONTH, NARAYANAMURTHY VISITED WHITE HOUSE AND DONATED Rs. 2000 FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AT SILICON VALLEY AND HAS PROMISED MORE IF WE FOLLOW THE MODEL OF HIGHTECH CITIES OF HYDERABAD AND BANGALORE. AND BILL GATES ALSO GOT A CHANCE OF MEETING HIM. VERY LUCKY PERSON.
ALEX: BUT, INDIAN GOVT IS PLANNING TO SPLIT NARAYANAMURTHY’S INFOSYS. JOHN: HE IS A HARD WORKER MAN, HE CAN BUILD ANY NUMBER OF INFOSYS LIKE THIS,EVERYMINUTE HE IS GETTING RS 1000, IT SEEMS, IF U KEEP ALL HIS MONEY CONVERTED AS RS.100 NOTES U CAN REACH PLUTO.
ALEX: OK, GOOD LUCK JOHN. JOHN: SAME TO U ALEX. AND DON’T GO TO CONSULATE IN A KURTA PYJAMA BECAUSE THEY WILL THINK U R TOO INDIANIZED AND MAY DOUBT U WILL EVER COMEBACK AND HENCE UR NON IMMIGRANT VISA MAY GET REJECTED. BUT DON’T FORGET TO SAY “NAMASTE, AAP KAISE HAIN” TO THE VISA OFFICER AT WINDOW 5. IT SEEMS HE LIKES THAT AND WILL NOT GIVE U A VISA IF U DONT GREET HIM THAT WAY. MY SENIORS AT SCHOOL HAVE TOLD ME.
