India times

At last here I am. A place where I can reinstate that WorkDone is zero.It was 1st week of March and nothing seemed working for me as I was at the onset of a new project. All I could meditate is of a vacation before I get dirty in couple of months. Some XYZ god/godess came to my rescue and I was on vacation to India for 2 weeks. There are a zillion things that transpired which itch me to blog right off, but I will hold those for a warm spring afternoon and will pop one by one out of my stack.
Here goes the first.
Anand who is my colleague out here was travelling back from Bangalore to Tokyo via Thai airlines on 26th March 2005. In the flight from Bangalore to Bangkok he was greeted by the passenger sitting next to him.
LADY : "What is ur destination ?"
Anand : "Japan!!".
LADY : "Oh I am also travelling to Japan. What for are you going to Japan ?"
Anand :"I am working in Japan. I have come to India on Vacation, now travelling back...."and then Anand goes on giving an account of his work etc at length. to the Japanese Lady.
Anand : "So how come you are in India ?"
LADY : "I am working in India.In Infosys."
Anand : "Oh!!"
LADY : "I am going on vacation to Japan."
Anand : "Oh..!!!...Oh..!!"
LADY : "I am a programmer, there are 10 more Japanese working out there, and my boss happens to be an Indian."
(To which anand nodded to himself : I work with my Indian colleagues out there and my boss a Japanese..!!)
Anand : "Oh..!! how come in India? There are lots of opportunities in Japan right ?"
LADY : "Well Global companies are in India not in Japan!!"
