Year : 2020
Place : Two Americans at IBM, USA.
Currency Conversion Rate: Rs.1 = $100/
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. 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 will be interested in
coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.
Alex : So, when are you leaving?
John : Anytime, after receiving my ti ckets 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, thats 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/- = $ 100/-. Oh
God!What about in 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/- but has got a sexy design.
Alex : By the way, who is your client?
John : A pure Indian company, specializing in Embedded 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 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
tested my proficiency in Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent
percent score in TOHIL i.e.Test ofHindi as International Language.
Alex : So, you are 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 you can see
actors like, Hrithik, and all. And dont forget superstar Chiranjeevi
and his style.
Alex : You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year,he may
then relax the number of visas.
John : That's true. Last month, Narayanamurthy visited White House
and donated Rs. 2000/- for in! frastructure 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's
Infosys.
John : He is a hard worker man, 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
ejected. But don't forget to say "Namaste, aap kaise hai" to the Visa
officer at Window 5. It seems he likes that and will not give you a
visa if you don't greet him that way
