There are somethings money can't buy!

knock knock... "Please open the door" someone shouted from the staircase....
Dhag dhag...the door banged...
Dhag dhag dhag......"Open the door" the voice became more blatant.
"Oh my god, who's this in the wee hours" a wisper to oneself was heard.
The hands on the forehead. Beer bottles scattered all around... still in bed I opened my eyes... Bang bang....the same picky voice was again heard shouting...."open...door....break..."
Oh did I hear it correctly?
"What the F..Someone’s knockin the door...Need to get up...." the whisper came.
Not knowing how I managed to get up and open the door, I saw a police officer standing angrily on the porch.
All haziness disappeared... "Hey what’s the officer doing here..Did I do something last night??? Beer, party, fag...what else....I don’t remember. Holy Shit"
"yes please" my fearful voice came out.
The officer angrily muttered "What the hell were you up to? Cant you here the door bell or the knocking?"
"sorry ..ah..Sir, was asleep..." fearfully I managed to utter.
"May I see your passport?" came the abrupt reply.
"What??? Did I hear it correctly? Can I ask him to come again? Pardon? wie bette?"
The angry officer blatantly shouted this time "PASSPORT"
Yes I heard it correct! "It is the same word. No no can’t be...but yes 2nd time I heard this...." "Shit! I am screwed!"

All of a sudden some third creature popped up .... "Get up! We are already late...its 8'o clock..." And shocked, fearfully I looked at him...."Come-on what are you looking at...Its Monday..We are getting late....Company's rules say to reach at my seat by 9...so get up!" came the recognizable voice.
But then hello where is the officer? And that word....

BLACK.

Welcome to the real world!

I am a software engineer without a passport.

Hello! Welcome! This is me.
My identity? No I don’t have any.
Will an Indian word suffice? Naa...or will a North Indian word suffice....can't say....How about a North Indian Software Engineer?....Need some more....here it goes....
A North Indian Software Engineer working in South India(NISEWISI)....wooh...nice acronym...NISE WISI....

What the fuss about all this? And what's this North Indian South Indian tantrum..??
Passport depicts as Indian right? Don’t know...i don’t have it...but surely I have seen some of them; dreaming I would also have it one day...They all had Indian on it....then what’s all this?

Common now don’t tell me that you have not experienced the same emotions what I have!
Don’t tell me you never fought to put your point forward in a team meet..when from all of a sudden a joke is cracked which you can hear but then it enters from one ear and exits from the other not reaching the brain...or maybe the decoding software is not there...
Yes but then can I change the passport details for everyone else please? Or will I be getting a North Indian citizenship?
How about making the passport in the respective languages only....so u land up in other country and they say "sorry not recognizable! Decoder not found!"

Common talk sense...what shall I do?

Hmm..It’s a tough job!
Well all the nasty pricks that should not be applied come to my mind.
But then awareness has to be there...your thoughts have to reach the concerned

...here the concerned is you yourself...!!

So does it mean tit for tat? Well can be....how about mailing to the team in a Punjabi or Hindi font? Does it sound stupid...well yes but some things money can’t buy!
How about conversing in Hindi only....

All these are not the solutions.....

The solution lies in being straight and to the point. A humble request in a team meet or an account meet shall solve the problems maybe not fully but yes people are there to understand....But still if there is no say....there are above ways to deal with any situation.

Can I come up with a BOK of what NISE WISI faces?
The above one is just an eye opener. And then the solutions to all those problems...Sounds cool na...
But then isn’t there an easy way out?
Oh yes definitely! Go back to sweet home Alabama....And then if you find any SISE WINI's try the same on them! How exciting!

In the real go maybe some things needs a change.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "India"? Population, Corruption, Political disorder, communal riots? There are many what we don’t know too....
But yes I also hear the word "Cricket". Maybe the only word which unites the nation together.

The positive things to look forward these days maybe the word "software" but then that solely depends on "us" and not "US of A"

Can't there be a place where there are no NISE WISI'S or SISE WINI's.
Can’t we just have a common goal to achieve, to see our country shine?

Probably there are something’s money cant buy!

My eyes are searching the MasterCard!
