This was a good discussion on Globalization, hearing views of different people in different countries & there apprehensions on the same. We were having dinner in a good restaurant of Atlanta Suburb. Our Client was treating us for the great work we had been doing for last couple of months. We were 5 people, two big managers of Client & two small developers-cum-designers-cum-analysts & one middle level manager from Vendor. Demographically one is Iranian, one is native from Czechoslovakia but a patriot of America & three Indians.
Between three glasses of Red wine & two Classic Martinis of Vodka, many social topics like food, wines, culture, profession & many things were being discussed. We talked about Iran, its home affairs & international affairs, its strained relationship with United states & how people live & think there & what we got to know that things which are in media are just contributing in making a bad impression about a country which otherwise a simple country of normal people.
As we're discussing these issue, topics like economy, cause of its depression & prospective consequences of the same were on the dinner table. It was first time when I realized how worried our fellow Americans are for the future of their children in a world where two different countries would have taken the tag of superpowers. There were not blind who couldn't see the Chinese domination in the manufacturing sector for making goods for the consumers in United states. They were also seeing how India is getting ready to capture the service sector & how Indians are few of the most competitive people in the world along with Chinese. The new thing what I got to know was people in America are worried up to this level that they are planning to teach their another foreign language other then French, Spanish & that is Mandarin. They should be very happy that they don't need to teach & learn Hindi cause even many Indians don't require Hindi at their work & English is the contact language.
At the time of so called recession which is not American only but Global, Anxiousness prevails even more that whats future has for their next generation. In whole discussion my only point was that in this global scenario, nothing in the world, can survive on itself. All markets are penetrated so much by other imported products that it becomes a little bit difficult to imagine that they would be able to work without one another.
