Then one day he met one of his class mate,who said would recommend his manager to hire shameer by very next day.
But poor Shameer,totally forgot the fact that indian tomorrow is never a genuine tomorrow.It could be after 2 days or after a month,but still being called as "tomorrow".
Finally he got a call for an interview from a good company.And the position was quite ok and salary was acceptable.
One fine day,phone rings of Shameer and was invited by his friend to Agra.Both Shameer and Shafi decided to meet at Taj Mahal.Both the friends were delighting each others company.Shameer says,how elegant is Taj Mahal and we must be glad that it is in India.Shafi utters,i want to be glad about my wage!!perhaps i have decided to fly to London.What about you Shameer?he asks.
Shameer says,i dont want to fly any where, i feel better in India.I can witness all the seasons here.I dont want to miss the morning chai prepared by mom.The family dining every day.The oil massage that i deliver to my dad.The everyday smiles that we share.Iam happy being here.After a slight pause both the friends smile at each other and then weaves a good bye and depart.
Unhurriedly Shameer achieved better position. And comprehended that small steps are needed to be taken to achieve high in life.
