Last nite,travelling from Delhi to Chandigarh over weekend,i happened to be a listener for converstation between two old friends.Being from same school,YPS,they happened to meet in bus after years.One of them,sardar ji is working in Bangalore wid some IT firm for yrs.His confidence and the pride he took in being it IT field is badly shaken by Satyam fiasco.The other guy,NRI,has been working in London since 2002.They enjoyed meeting each other after so long,talked about der mutual friends and shared some good old jokes of skool times.But tats were happy reunion came to end.den started the all time favourites battle to defend Brain Drain.Sardar ji got involved in how life in Swades is better than in a foreign city and how its only punjabi jatts who r crazy for moving abroad and not all youth from country ,whereas the NRI guy with hinglish accent couldnt stop boasting of the life style and living standards over der in UK. One could sense the battle being fought in arguments. And it went on for long time,mite be for hrs after i feel asleep.
And i was left wondering whether things would be d same if i happen to meet an old friend after yrs.Will we be rejoicing the time we spent together or wd be more concerned about defending who did better in corporate world and is spending a marvellous life.
So lets not get lost into the corportate world.I expect the old friendship reigns over this trivial matters.Keep in touch.
