Jobs lost, here ‘n’ there
A few days ago, I received a call from a friend. He told me that an airline had been offering a good price with visa for a month and asked if he would be able to get a job.
He is in the field of Information Technology and had lost his job in a recent scandal of a wellknown company in India.
I did not say “yes” or “no” to him. He had seen the beautiful malls, heard about the famous shopping festival and the much- talked about Metro Rail system through various TV channels and wanted to visit the UAE to make a career.
The other day when I was travelling to Dubai from Sharjah I heard a passenger behind me talking in my mother tongue. He was telling someone loudly that he was returning to India and asked them to look for an opening.
He had ostensibly been given a one-month notice by his employer.
When I received a call from my Indian friend, I told him that I would send a mail and he could decide after reading that.
I just remembered a proverb: The grass is always green on the other side.
