India 2060

Florida, May 02, 2061: Steve met Jenny in a hotel and told that he had got an interview scheduled today at Indian embassy for IH1 visa. Jenny congratulated and asked what happened to her dependent visa interview. He said it’s after 2 days from his date. He said finally after 2 years of waiting time, they have got the dates. He said his friend Rocastrio has already left to the aluminum valley Chennai as software consultant to Munusamy solutions Inc. He is earning 5ooo INR as his monthly salary and it is equal to 250000 USD. Steve said that his company has fixed him for a monthly salary of 6000 INR. Jenny hearing this was very happy and they went back home after the candle light dinner.

Both of them finished their interview and got their visa stamped. Steve booked the tickets in Chennai airlines to land at the aluminum valley. He had got a job at Velu solutions Inc. and his client place was Ambica appalam depot. He was in charge of developing a software solution for his client to get the sales and their revenue reports in various dimensions. He and his wife caught the flight and landed safely at Chennai airport, the world’s second busiest international airport. He had taken all the cool clothes like transparent shirts with many holes in it and many shorts to keep him cool in the hot climate.

After getting out into the land of opportunities, he was very happy and delighted. He walked in search of hotel for his stay. He said to Jenny with in 15 days, he needs to search for an apartment in the outskirts of Chennai as it is very costly to get a house with in the city. They both got into a taxi and were amazed by seeing the tall buildings hitting the sky. They were wondering about the neat roads and the terrific but disciplined traffic. They then got a room in Extended Stay India hotel. After visiting to the famous beach, they then shopped at T.Nagar after getting an appointment at 6.00pm. They had to wait for their shopping time for 5 hours and allowed time was 20 minutes. They then got some of the top selling brands of sarees and some pants for him. When they were inside a shop, Steve met one of his old friends, who was shopping at the same time. Then after they completed their shopping Steve and his friend family went to an restaurant for dinner.

His friend Allen, who was a red card holder and was working for the State Electricity board as Program manager, was surprised to meet Steve. Steve then told about his job and his client place. Allen said to Steve, it’s a golden opportunity for him. If you perform well at your client place then you will end up in getting the red card soon. He also said, if you get to stay here you will get the best of everything. Only thing in initial stage you need to get your credit points. After that you can take loan from any of the local banks and own an apartment. Jenny and Allen’s wife Susan were discussing about the house hold items. Susan said to Jenny that to get all the house hold items Thalai-mart is the best place to go. It’s cheap and has everything. After chatting more they left from the place exchanging their contact information.

First day at office, Steve was bit nervous. He had to meet his project manager Kabali. The project manager called him to his room and said look Steve this is one of our prestigious projects and has to be executed without any failure. Already we have done such a project to Krishna sweets and it’s successfully executed. One of your project members Arnold has been in the Krishna sweets project and you can take his support. Steve went out from his office to go to his client place with confidence and positive in his mind.


Dudes, you would be wondering what’s all this, what happened to narsidude. Recently happen to read some of the science fiction stories of Shujata. I enjoyed reading it and so wanted to try out something similar. That’s the result above. I know that I can't be as him. But just a simple try. In Mudhalvan movie, Arjun says like "Namalum veshtiya madichu katti samyal panuvom, athuvum nalla varum ana athey daily panna mudiyathu". The same point here too. I just tried to put my hands on it. Hope you all like it.

You have got much inspired by Sujatha(science fiction stories and mudhalvan dialogue) than DWH.
Good attempt and the way you penned the story is quite good.

Best is 5000 INR is equal to 250000 USD. If this situation happened then all the NRIs will come to India and they can stay with their family happliy. Wish your dream to come true. :)

Hey Narasi,

You know what you have mixed up the style of Sujatha and S.Ve. Shekar.

Shekar is the one who plays the ULTA BULTA comedy [kattula mazhai, periya thambi and some more] and Sujatha is the one who runs the entire story in the thrill and chill & always writes with the future sense. Your fiction brings up that style.

Good mix up & nice try.

Hope you will excite us with the same sort of fictions in your future posts...

Your vision is the dream of the entire nation...

Note: no doubt that Sujatha is the un-declared king of science fiction in Tamil.
