He Said: Aaj main kaam se Ghar aate waqt khoob Roya hoon...

He: Aaj Mera College ka Dost Ehsaan Rashid apni family ke sath Restaurant aaya tha. Mujhe waiter  ke Dress  main dekh kar shock laga use. Phir us ne situation sambhal li.....mujhe apni family se introduce karwaya....baaten ki...

She: Nahi Sheen....aisa mat karen....koi na koi company to aap ka Visa sponsor karegi hi....koshish karen.....aur Aap to Ameer - e- Qafila hain....aap kasie Haar Sakte Hain? Is trah Haar Kar wapas aayenge to Biwi ke Pehlu main Neend bhi nahi aayeggi.....ye Jung to Aap ko Har Haal  main Jeetni hai Sheen.....kcuh bhi Ho jaye...Main Aap ke sath hoon...

Four  months after this conversation he found an employer named Larry Dent, a sensitive white man whose DNA did not believe in any discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, country of origin or color,  hired him and agreed to file for his work visa.

He got her to fly to him before he joined the new job. She landed in Atlanta on 14th July wearing a dress of his  favorite color - Yellow.  He joined the new job on 17th July, three days after she arrived..

ps: After picking her up from airport, he drove on I - 285 ( an outer loop that circles Atlanta city) for hours. When she asked the reason for driving on I - 285 and not going home straight  he answered that  He is paying homage to a city that gave him second chance at life.....

pps: Larry Dent, now retired lives in Gainesville, GA, Poona Restaurant still exists but at a different location, Ehsaan Raashid, EE class of 91, GA Tech, lives in Atlanta,

She lives in small town, USA and he .....he is alive some place,  India!!
