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. 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 Hyderabad, Bangalore 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. 2000/- for a single room accommodation.



Alex: I see, that's too much for US people, Rs.1/- =$100/-. Oh God!
what
about in Hyderabad , 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.2,00,000/-
but has got a lovely design.



Alex: By the way, who is your client?



John: Subbarao and Apparao 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 Americaalso 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
argest 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 a SiliconValley
and
has promised more if we follow the model of High-Tech 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
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.



Alex: Sure, lucky guy!
