Brain Drain, heard of it? Of course, you must have. It used to be a hot debating topic in schools. Though each and every student used to really get excited and worked up to vehemently argue against the topic,50% of them ended up being NRIs-Non-Resident Indians, the part of the talented pool who flee to foreign location specially US, UK, Canada, Australia. The lure is money which is obvious and natural and the result is? Guess what, absolutely right-Brain Drain. However unless the opportunities offered by our country increases, this shall continue to happen. With a globalised world where we treat all as international citizen, these reservations should fade. We may take solace in the fact that one is being instrumental is doing a good job, it shouldn’t matter whether if it’s Indian doing it in San Francisco or American doing it in Delhi. The instances of latter may be too few, yet you may rejoice as the chances of finding someone like this used to be absolutely nil, until recently.
To cut the long story short, I must let you know why I have poured out my heart on this topic. I was waiting at Biju Patnaik International Airport. The flight of my friend Sohail was behind schedule, due to bad weather and I had nothing to do but wait. I didn’t mind putting down my thoughts on a word document. Suddenly, there was an announcement with respect to the arrival of the flight I was desperately waiting for. I was excited to meet Sohail after 5 long years. Last we met at his Delhi place on his wedding. This time he was coaxed to make it to Bhubaneswar. The place we had spent the glorious ten years of our childhood together. And here he was exchanging a bear hug.
As he got into the car he expressed his eagerness to explore the city of his childhood, probably in a lure to relive the lost moments. I could convince him to postpone the idea for the next day as I was way too tired for the day and so was he. After spending half the night in nostalgia, we both all set for the spin around the city early at 7 a.m.
Everything had definitely changed and so was expected. However, Sohail couldn’t believe his eyes and he was totally spell bound. He had heard things are progressing but the transformation was huge and so was his amazement. When we ended up in our college campus, he expressed his desire to own a . We agreed to look for the same next day. property in Bhubaneswar
We naturally first did some online research and then decided to look for flats for sale in Bhubaneswar, as its maintenance is comparatively easier especially if the owner is away. The best thing was we could get a really good one in the heart of the city, i.e Sahidnagar.As cash was not an issue with my NRI pal, he could wrap up with an excellent one. Though we had to devote a couple of days to get to own a flat yet the ecstasy associated with the final outcome was overwhelming. The deal was he would come to Bhubaneswar annually and we would always celebrate those awaited days. What else one can seek for, every year partying was pre-booked at least for a fortnight!
