Tonight one of our friends much to our dislike and contempt is leaving for USA. This being his second time to that country makes the occasion more irritating and inconsolable for the rest of us. As if spending 10 months isn't enough, this time he will be gone for about a year if not more.
What's wrong with this world? Why God is so blind? Why doesn't someone else get that opportunity? preferably me? I never said I won't go! I would never dream of refusing to go and still I am not going.
"USA; every Indian's dream". Indians may not have a dream girl but do have a dream country and that country is USA. People say that cricket is an Indian game accidentally discovered by England. Similarly USA is the home country of Indians but for some unknown reasons inhabited by Americans. There is even proof that Indians actually lived there before Europeans occupied it. They were called Indians, Red Indians! :-)
However bygones are bygones. As the famous line goes, the empire is about to strike back and India is about to conquer USA within few decades, not by force, not by coercion, not even by economic power but simply by going and settling in that country. Just like USA, which at present claims the piece of land called Alaska as its own though separated from its mainland, similarly India will lay claim on USA and will rename the country as USI. Wait one correction. When it comes to India there is no unity. So it should be CSI (not Crime Scene Investigation) but Chaotic States of India. The wheels are set in motion towards achieving that goal and our friend's departure tonight is going to be the curtain raiser.
I am sure that as soon as he touches the ground, its economy will cease its downward spiral and rocket towards the stars. All its people will disassociate from worldly pleasures and will associate with otherworldly endeavours. People will stop cursing, and will start blessing and more importantly Hollywood will stop churning out meaningless sequels and will bring out original stories.
Amidst all these positives one disconcerting fact is that my friend is going to earn insane amount of money and I am left with nothing to say except "Farewell my friend!" with a big sigh!. :-)
