Visa Power

A Declaration: I will not passs critique on any movie in this post.

Now as me and a lot of my friends are all caught up in expressing our sorrow or alternatively our elation based on our geographical location since the skipper is leaving we have manged to fail to recognise the economic coup that the americans have managed to pull off here!!!!
Credit must be given where its due. Now please bear with me here as I try and explain wht the hell I am talking bout.

The americans make us cough up a lot of greens before we can land our respective hineys in the promiseland....all sorts of test fees, application fees and all the other overheads....
We are also made to pay a fee for visa application...so thereby they make a lot of money....so whats the big deal?? u ask...well here it is..
the CIA with its vast spy network spread all over the world manages to identify a "PIED PIPER", so to say, from every community. Unlike the fable however this piper belongs to the fairer sex most often than not. What they will do is through their agents coerce this pied piper to go to US.
They will grant her a Visa even though she might not have her papers in order, might be a possible immigrant and similar shortcomings. U might call it luck I can it exceptional financial acumen.
Now once the piper is seven seas away wht do the rats do??? yeah u guessed it...they will surely try and gnaw their way to US in hot pursuit. So they will go thru the whole process pay thru their noses so on and so forth until they land up at the Consulate gates. However their applications will be denied. So they will reapply and reapply and then some sa there isnt a cap any more.
This policy netted the exchequer around $ 31 billion last year and is set to go up!!!!!
So dont worry folks america is well on its way to recovery thanks to our friendly neighbourhood pied piper and her flute!!!!!!!!

“Amitabh Bacchan, Sharmila Tagore and Sanjay Dutt” “Yeah right!! And we are the beatles” was our response when this guy narrated the list of people who would be visiting our house for the movie shoot. This was about June last year. We guys had a gala time pulling the guys legs and ridiculing the notion that our house would be the one selected for this shoot. Told all my friends and received more than the odd sarcastic sneer serving only to embolden my belief that it was no more than a trick being played to get us to sign up for this ‘circus’ (as it turned out in the end). We didn’t show any interest after that and neither were we being pestered for it. We had the art director come and pay a visit along with a rep. of the director. Still nothing moved along. They suggested that they would need to make some modification to our compound wall and we asked them shove it. That was the end of it as far as we were concerned. Then one fine day, a Friday, this fellow again came by the house wit...

a declaration: I will not pass critique on any movie in this one.... Now credit need to be given where it due. While we have been caught up in the all the grief or alternatively the elation depending on your geographic location we have somehow overlooked the revulotion in revenue generation that is about to sweep across the US of A. consider this..... The americans ask you to pay the following b4 u can get ur ass in their land..... 1. GRE fees 2. TOEFL fees. 3. Application fees. 4. Visa application fees just to name a few heads. add to that the overheads like courier charges, all sorts of fees that u gotta cough up to get all the necessary documentation. Heres the masterpiece though. The CIA through their large spy network ( I have met a few of their agents ) identify the "pied piper" , so to speak,of every community. Unlike the story though this pied piper is mostly of the other gender. Now they will persuade this piper girl to take her GRE, TOEFL ....so on ...

Who are "these people"?

I recently had the chance to visit Pune on a short trip. Between gobfuls of sumptuous comfort food I caught up  with lots of family and friends. During these conversations one common theme started to emerge that I cant stop  thinking about. But before I go any further a quick tangent…. ….On this trip I threw caution to the wind and ate what could be the Mt Rushmore of desserts. Puran Poli,  Basundi, Jilbi (aka Jalebi) and Motichur Ladoo. That led me to the conclusion that this is the best lineup of  desserts in the world and they all come from a relatively small geographical region. You add stalwarts like  Shrikhand, Aamras and Kaju katli to this list and we have a true All Star team! I challenge any region in the  world to come up with a better line up. But anyway, enough about that. Everytime I engaged in a conversation and the subject veered even close to the Indian State of the Union there  would be this common theme; XYZ is ...
