Twisty Tale Of Potholes

Ram: These potholes are so dangerous, anyone can fall. What is the government doing these days. No initiative, no new inventions and these government people don’t even take the trouble of getting out of their offices and seeing the ground realities. They only want to sit in their office and earn money. 

Shyam: Hey your son completed his engineering from IIT right?

Ram: Yes, Yes 

Shyam: So where is he working now? 

Ram : He is so lucky. In his campus interview itself, he was offered a job at one of the top investment banking firms.

Shyam: But after engineering, investment banking?

Ram: Yes, yes nowadays who wants to work in those dirty factories and get your clothes soiled. Besides he is getting such a fat pay packet there. His life is made.

Shyam: So then why did he do engineering, he should have done Finance or Economics. Why waste a seat? 

Ram: Come on yaar, stop this nonsense of wasting seat and all. He got such a good grounding at IIT that will take him far in life. 

Shyam: Far where? Abroad?

Ram : Maybe, I don’t know. Ok why did you change the topic? Look at these potholes, so dangerous. We need advanced technology and advanced ways to get our infrastructure in place. 

Shyam: Ram, Ram, who will do it, the engineers or the investment bankers?
