Moment of Pride....

Ah... its just another day in my office... And as usuall I was preparing my coffee to make a fresh start....

Its been 3 weeks since I joined this office and still I feel very new here... may be because of the isolated environment of my team from the rest of office...Its a usuall Corporate Confidential thing..... Ok I will come to the point.... While I was making my coffee, there came an old man, an old american as usuall sounding loud and standing brisk.... I have seen him earlier once or twice but haven't paid attention to him... He was the guy who takes care of filling up the cafeteria with the needed items....

But today he said a "Good Morning" and I wished him back... and he continued further....

Oldie : "Ur name should not me Patel else u would look different"....
Me : "Ofcourse not. My name is Arvin"..... (Its not easy to teach these people how to spell our Indian names with proper syllable)

He was talking about a "Patel" he knew, for whom he had built a house...... (These people know lot of work) and he said one thing which at the moment made me so proud to be what I am..... "People from your country are very productive and they are an asset to the country where they are...." he continued..."There are many people who come to this country and the first thing they do is register in the Employment office... U cannot see an Indian in a low profile job..... they will be either industrialist or in high technical jobs..." He said this with from his heart and not just because for the conversation sake.....

I had no word but thanked him with a pride filled heart..... "East or West India is always the Best....."

Once again I'm very proud to be an Indian..... "Jai Hind"
