Year : 2050 Place : Two Americans at IBM, USA. Currency Conversion Rate: Re.1 = $100/ Alex : Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office? John : Yeah, I was in Nepalese 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 Jr 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 Nepal, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for USA. John : Yeah, but that is because who in Nepal 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 Nepal and you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Royal Nepal Airlines.Sort of dream come true. Alex : How long are you going to stay in Nepal? John : What do you mean by how long? I will be settled in Nepal, my company has promised me that they will process my Hariyo Patta. Alex : Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hariyo Patta in Nepal. John : Yeah, thats why, I am planning to marry a Nepalese girl there. Alex : But you can find lots of US girls in Kathmandu,Biratnagar and Birjung. John : But, I prefer Nepalese girls because they are beautiful and cultured. Alex : Where did you get the offer? John : I got it with Arun- XVI. 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, Re.1/- = $100/-. Oh God!What about in Dharan and Surkhet? John ! : No idea, but it is less than what we have near Arun project. It is like the world headquarters of hydropower. Alex : I heard, almost all the Nepalese 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 Cosmic's sports model, which costs Rs.200000/- but has got a sexy design. Alex : By the way, who is your client? John : A pure Nepalese company, specializing in hydropower. It sells electricity to almost all Asian countries including China and India. Alex : Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Nepalese company. They are really intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened their Fly-by-night outfits in Nepal. Nepalese companies pay you in full even when you are on river side. My friend Paul Allen, it seems,used his bench time to visit Rolpa,the most livable place in Nepal, 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 Nepali as my first language here at New York.At the Consulate they tested my proficiency in Nepali and were quite impressed by my cent percent score in TONIL i.e.Test of Nepali 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 Kollywood where you can see vetran actors like, Rajesh Hamal, and all. Esselworld is also near to Kollywood. 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, Chairman of Arun visited White House and donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon Valley and has promised more if we follow their model and encourage for call centres. Bill Gates Sr.also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person. He has been given a billion rupees business to operate call centres looking on his past achievement. Alex : OK, Good Luck John. John : Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a Daura Suruwal because they will think you are too Nepalised and may doubt you will ever come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected.But don't forget to say "Namaste, tapai lai kasto cha" to the Visa officer at Window 15. It seems he likes that and will not give you a visa if you don't greet him that way.
