Me Vs Him

“This is not what I want. I haven’t traveled all those 8000 miles for a compromise!”

“Life is a set of compromises. Deal with it! There is no way you can give up this job”

“But why did I come here? What about the want? What about her?”

“Oh that.. Grow up jackass. Besides, with that entire loan on you, I can’t believe that you are even wasting my time with this. Buzz off”

“The loan. Does that mean no new car for me?”

“You got that right; unless, you consider a cheap ass car, say a Camry or a Civic even”

“No! I shan’t do that. May be I can go in for an old Cherokee. I am sure I can get one of those real cheap and I have always wanted the authentic Cherokee. The boxy kind!!”

“Again, you go wandering off. Let me remind that you are in no position to afford a gas guzzler!”

“What position am I in????”

“Why are you cribbing? You have got what others find hard to get. Stop this nonsense!”

“I had always had what others did not. But I wanted something that I always did.”

“Tough Luck”

“I can’t believe I can’t buy a new car…”

“I can’t believe that you are even thinking of one. With your salary and Uncle Sam’s taxes you can’t afford anything more than a old 100k+ Camry.”

“Stop it!! Please don’t keep saying Camry!”

“You know it!”

“May be going home would clear things out…”

“Er… Dushyant…rethink that!”

“Why????”

“Because if you leave, you won’t be able to get back in… Do you really want to take that risk on a OPT card?”

“You’re saying that I can’t go home till I get my visa converted…”

“Yes, pretty much…Ofcourse when you do go that time, I doubt you would get more than 14 days. Travel time included!”

“730 days for 14 days home. What’s the sense in that?”

“Shut up. Crybaby!!! Go do something else…go play”

“I really can’t.”

“Oh yes I forgot. Your knee… right??”

“Yes.”

“Oh well. Why don’t you do something about it?”

“I have to. Just haven’t had the time…”

“So you say. Oh well. Are we done here? Can I go back to my state of being content? Or you are going have more issues?”

“I guess, it all doesn’t really matter does it…”

“Yup. Zilch if I recall the last estimate.”

“I should get back to work…”

“You should.”
