2010 India vs USA

IN 2010
Two top American Executives at IBM, USA

Alex: Hi John. you didn't come to work yesterday.
John: yeah. i was at the Indian Embassy trying to get my visa.
Alex oh, really? what happened? i've heard that thesedays they have become strict.
John: yeah, but i managed to get it.
Alex: how long did it take to get it stamped?
John: Man, it was a long queue. Bill Gates was waiting in front of me and they really gave him a hard time. poor guy, even brought the property papers for hishouse in Seattle to show them that he will return to USA. i went there at 4:00 a.m. to get in the queue and there were tons of people ahead of me.
Alex: really? in India, at the US embassy it only takes an hour to get a visa for USA.
John: YEAH! but that's because no one in India wants to come to USA, except Americans who have taken Indian nationality and want to bring their kids here.
Alex: so, when are you leaving?
John: as soon as i get my ticket from the company in India. I'm so excited. i will be getting a chance to finally fly with the world's fastest growing airline, DeccaNaidu Airways. sort of dream come true, you know.
Alex: how long are u planning to stay in India?
John: what do u mean"how long"? i will try and settle in India. my company has promised me that they will process my green book as soon as possible.
Alex: really? man, u're a lucky one. it's very difficult to get a green book in India. last year my cousin and his family went there on a tourist visa and they're not comming back now.
John: yeh. that's y iam planning on marrying a Indian girl there and then sponsoring my parents and my brothers and sisters from New York to India.
Alex: but i hear you can find lots of good American girls in Hyederabad and Bangalore.
John: yeah, but i prefer Indian girls. they are so much more superior to our girls, and what great brunette complexion they have!
Alex: what city are u going to?
John: HYDERABAD!. the company has an office in downtown
HiTec City. Yeah, the salary is good but the cost of
living is quite high because of all the people
flocking to this high-tech Mecca.
Alex: I hear the exchange rate is now $100 to a Rupee!
That's just too much. What about Bombay and Delhi?
What are they like?

John: No idea. But they are cheaper than Hyderabad,
which is the world's headquarters for information
technology now.

Alex: I hear the quality of life in India is
incredible.

John: Yeah, man. You can buy a BMW for Rs.30,000, and
a Mercedes for less than Rs.45,000. But my dream is to
purchase a Maruti Turbo FX-2800 which costs roughly
Rs.90,000. But what a sweet design, great curves, and
it purrs to the touch.

Alex: By the way, which company are you gonna work
for?

John: KankaNaidu Technologies, a
pure Indian conglomerate specializing in embedded
software.

Alex: Man, you're so lucky to work for a pure
Indian company. They are really intelligent and
unlike any American body shops that have opened their
fly-by-night outfits in India. The Indian
companies pay you even when you're on the bench. My
friend, Paul Allen, used his bench time to visit the
Kakinada Coast, the most gorgeous resort in India, I
hear.

John: Yeah, man, you're right. I hope the US learns
something from them and follows in their footsteps. It
seems all we do is borrow more and more money from the
Banjara Bank.

Alex: How are you going to cope with their language?

John: I've been learning Hindi since my school days. I
always dreamed that one day I'll head for India
ever since my uncle bought me that T-Shirt from
Osmania University. At the Consulate they tested my
proficiency in Hindi and were quite impressed by my
score in TOHFL (Test of Hindi as a Foreign Language).

Alex: Boy! You're so damn lucky.

John: Yeah. I'll be travelling in the world's fastest
train, Laser Express, I'll be visiting the world's largest
theme park in Charminar Manga, and I'll be visiting the
famous Bollywood where I might meet the sons and
daughters of movie legends like Amitabh, Sharukh Khan,
Amer, Karina
and the gorgeous of all at her own time, Madam Ashwariya.

Alex: You know, the Indian President is scheduled
to visit USA next year and I hear that he may increase
the number of employment visas.

John: That's very true. Last month, their Labour
Minister, Chinna Babu Naidu, visited the White
House and donated Rs.20,000,000 for the re-development of
the World Trade Centre at Silicon Valley, and has
promised more if we follow the models of the fast
developing high-tech cities, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
Bill Gates was lucky to have a chance to meet him.
Very lucky person.

Alex: Will you be calling on Dave? I hear that he has
made it big there and has a beautiful house on the Musi River in Hyderabad.

John: Yeah, I'll be meeting him.

Alex: Anyway, nice chatting to you, John. Good luck,
you lucky guy.

John: Yeah, and the same to you, Alex. By the way,
don't ever go to the Indian Consulate in
Dhoti-kurta because they will think you're too
Indianised and may doubt that you will ever come
back, and your application will be rejected. And yes,
don't forget to say to the Visa Officer politely:
"Namaskaram, aap kaisay hain?" It will show
them you're a cultured person.
