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 becomevery 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 infront of me and they played with him like anything. That's why it gotdelayed. 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 incoming to USA man, their economy has been booming.

Alex : So, when are you leaving?

John : Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in Indiaand 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 HaraPatta 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, Chennai, 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 islike the world headquarters of Software.

Alex : I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robotfor help.

John : You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot forless than Rs. 7500/-. But my dream is to purchaseAmbassador, which costs Rs.200000/- but has got a sleeky wonderfuldesign.

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 Body shoppers who have openedtheir Fly-by-night outfits in India. Indian companies pay you in fulleven when you are on bench. My friend Paul Allen, it seems, used hisbench time to visit Bihar, the most livable place in India, probablyworld. There you have full freedom and no restrictions. You can dowhatever you want! ! I wonder how that state has perfected thatsystem.

John : Yeah man, you are right. I hope our America also follows theirfootsteps.

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 scorein TOHIL, i.e., 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'slargest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actorslike, Hrithik, and all. Esselworld is also near to Bollywood.

Alex : You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year, he may thenrelax the number of visas.

John : That's true. Last month, Narayanamurthy visited White House and donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon Valleyand has promised more if we follow the model of Silicon City ofBangalore. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very luckyperson.

Alex : But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy's Infosys.

John : He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosyslike this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems, if youkeep 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 Pyjamabecause they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you willever come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected.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. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing wrong in dreaming huh, Hope it will happen soon.!!!!!!!!!!
