Strange Jalapeno Flavoured World...

Scene 1

Ma: You got back home from tuition an hour back. Enough of your "computer break". Now go sit and study. Do you know how much hardwork it takes to find a seat in a reputed institution?

Son: Yea mom! I know it all. We go through this everyday!

Ma: So don't just sit and waste time. Act! and go sit and study..

Son: Yea ok ma..just 5 more minutes. I'm trying to fix the newest problem the system is facing (*if only, we could sue good ol' Bill*)

Son: Why is this country so sad? one, reputed implied "has to be IIT"! Two, I don't even want to be an engineer. I want a course that'll help me pursue my passions:automobiles computers(and by that I don't mean sitting for an IT company and coding for an already developed world!) . Three, I should've been in America.....

-----------------------

Scene 2:

Good-for-nothing-guy : Rajasthan sarkar ko hamari maange man-ni hee hongi. Nahi to hum jaipur bandh kar denge aur delhi roko abhiyan bhi shuru kar denge.

Boot-licker 1: jo "shri" good-for-nothing kahenge, hum wahi karenge, hum unka saath denge.

Boot licker 2: shri good-for nothing ke netritve mein hum zaroor jeetenge

Boot-licker 3: Haan bahiyon. Bolo good-for-nothing ki jai!

----------------------

Scene 3:

Loser 1: Man, the roads in this city suck!

Loser 2: Blame the Biharis!

Loser 1: This city will never be clean. People litter everywhere all the time. And look at the roads yaar. Ace spitters have happily painted it red!

Loser 2: Blame the UP-ites!

Loser 1: Its been a week since i started looking for a job man. No vacancies anywhere!!

Loser 2: Blame the Biharis and UP-ites!

---------------------------

Scene 4:

Son from scene 1: Mom! Dad! The US university has replied! I'll get a full scholarship! I'll finally pursue a course of my choice!! Now i just have to wait for the Visa interview!!

(enter daughter)

Daughter: Hi papa, hi ma

Dad: What happened beta?

Daughter: The cut-off list for bla bla college is out. I couldn't make it.

Ma: But how is that possible? You scored a 94.6%

Daughter: Yea..the cut off was 95%.

Dad: Alright then, decided. Apply for a course overseas. Don't worry, we'll partially fund it and take a loan for the rest

Ma: Yes beta, that looks like the only way out.

Girl (beaming smile!): oh thanks ma n dad! You are the BEST parents ever! (group hug)

Dad: And what about other classmates of yours?

Girl: Rahul and Raj couldn't make it either. Simran is moving to UK,Nina will drop a year and try again and no surprises; "Mr. I-don't-need- to- worry-i-was-born-with-a-reservation" made it

*Group Sigh*

Scene 5

Somewhere in US...on a webcam...

Kids: Hello mom! Hello dad!!

Parents: How are you kids??

Kids: Good!

Parents: So when are you coming back to India?

Kids: No mom, no dad. Not coming back. We've applied for a permanent residence/citizenship. Hope our village, on the Bihar-UP border prospers. Hope India realises the 2020 vision. Anyway..gotta rush for work..catch you later..bye ma..bye papa...we love you (*and INDIA*)

11 did the drill!:
