This is actually a belated article.... i thot i wud write it on 15th aug.... but got belated.... Newayz here I am with this... I titled it quite protagonistically.... and u will soon brunt the difference.. before I begin nythin I wud like to tell u a small tryst with a German...I was workin on a pilot plant in my intern which was a german made. Since there were lot of problems with the machine... so we convinced the german manufacturer to come down to Calcutta and help the way out... Now this was a trip which would fetch that German nothing more than a tiring flight journey... a bad Calcutta weather... and extra fatigue of 1 and half day... with a full ambiguity in his return fligh to Frankfurt... newayz he came down to calcutta ... maybe for his own reasons... btw his name was Peter... I had met Peter earlier when I was at Mumbai... The factory timings were 9'o clock .... I checked my daily mails and then went to my pilot plant for usual cleaning... I got a call from my tutor... she called me... Aditya come to my office, Peter has come.... I went to her room... There I saw Peter... eager and anxious to see the machine... My tutor offerd him tea/coffee... but NO... he wanted to see machine... She told him to wait for 15 mins... But NO he wanted to see the machine... then I ran and arranged PPE's for Peter so that he can walk into the shop floor.... So now we were at machine... that machine already was tempered in Indian fashions... it stood improper handlings... and even a flood.... neverthless Peter started analyzing the probs... started the machine meanwhile explainin me everything and I was carefully understandin each and everythin... I shouted ....STOP the machine.... water is leaking... STOP....then he immediately shut down the dryer and everbody else was lookin at both of us as if some major accident has just been missed... Then Peter immediately asked for the tools, spanners etc... And I had a maiden encounter with heart and soul dedication towards work... then I saw him bleedin... I told him Peter u r bleedin... he replied as if I hadn said nothin... keep telin me the things that I should arrange for immediately... And my tutor whispered somethin literally amazed at his dedication.... she said ..." Now I understand wats the difference b/w an Indian and a european... Only we IIT guys have some concern for our work and that's y we aspire to highest positions in our life"
However I don't agree much with her statment, I mean it does not include only IITians, it includes people from each fraternity who have respect for their work... I have seen so much apathy towards work that Now I know the two extremes of dedication to work.... On this eve of our 60 years of independence ... do we really think we have advanced enough??.... Are we really happy we have shaped our country?...
Why do some people cry over Brain Drain... Is this country really a good place to stay?? Are we havin enough oppurtunities in our home country??.... Its really nice to make some movie like SWADES and to cry over NRIs.... but the point is not that he should come back... Point is that y he went out of India in the first place????...............
