Year: 2020
Place: Two Americans at IBM, USA.
Currency Conversion Rate: Re 1/- = $100/-

Alex: Hi John, you didn't come to the office yesterday ?
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. That's 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 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 .(green card)
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 Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai.
John: But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and cultured.
Alex: Where did you get the offer, Chennai?
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 Bangalore, Mumbai?
John: No idea, but it is less than what we have in Chennai. 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.2,00,000/- but has got a lovely design.
Alex: By the way, who is your client?
John: Iyer and Iyengar Associates, a pure Indian company, specialising 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 liveable 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 per cent score in TOHIL i.e. Test
of Hindi 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, Shah Rukh Khan and all. Esselworld is also near Bollywood.
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, Narayana Murthy visited White House and
donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon Valley and has
promised more if we follow the model of High-Tech City of Hyderabad. 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 never
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.
Don't think it is a dream...
Let us work hard to make this dream come true.
Are you wondering who is the mind behind this brilliant piece? Well, all
we can say is that if you find him/her please tell us also. The only credit
we will take here is to have picked this up.

Sahib98,

I remember having seen this way back in 95 when it was 2010. Someone slipped the gap by another 10 years.


Rich nations keep growing rich and poor nations poor. Sad... but true...

My heart beats for India. Mera Bharat mahan.

A CANADIAN INDIAN

This is the way we used to put our frustration to the western world!!!!

Still hilarious.

Another one like this.

Indian to Canadian: Our country is richer than yours!

Canadian: How!!!

Indian: The population of Canada is 30 million and this much is getting free meals in Indian jail. How our India can be poorer than Canada!!!
