Interesting Conversation with an European friend (He)

He : Hey Ca Va ! (how are you ?)
Me : Ca Va (Kind of i am fine.....), Merci !
He : How is it going, what is happening in north part of your country ?
Me : It is fine hear and Nantes is a pretty good city. Are you referring to Kashmir or any issue in specific
He : No not Kashmir, it is some temple issue, how can people do it?
Me : Oh yeah the Ayodhya one, you know everywhere we have extremists
He : Ok, but don't you think you it is shame for the country as big and democratic as India.
Me : I donot know... but now that it has caught your attention more than big sporting event happening in India.... may be..
He : No offence intended but the sporting event as well is making news for the wrong reasons..
Me : I guess the world is getting to hear the wrong things happening in india much more (thanks to the TRP infight by media), which i would say isn't that bad.
He : But 2 big scams in such short time; sports one and the IT firm. Do you think it reduces your image?
Me : What do you think? Has it changed the way you looked upon India
He : I am skeptical about taking a career over there. I heard so many good things about India and its potential that i started to take a serious consideration of moving to India for work. But looking at the magnitude and frequency of the events i am concerned and worried.
Me : Nice to see that young europe is looking to India as a desitation for work. I am suprisingly pleased. But i would suggest none of these incidents that concerns you have stalled the common man's life. It is just the part of being a country of such volume of people who are democratic. Individual goals sometime superceed national goals.
He : Oh, yeah too crowdy man...
Me : I guess you can understand...you will need patience and loads of it when you move in to our place.you guys would see that as a major change if at all you find to manage jobs there. Too much of competition !!
He : We get the previlage in your land, i know that.
Me : We say it respect and you call it previlage...so chill and have fun through you thesis defence...if you need any help let me know. Need to hurry up for my lame lectures !! See you
He : See you !

Interesting that young Europe is following us, they are seeing professional stability in India but are concerned about social stability. Should we all work to address this or still get torn apart for the benefit of a very few ?
