A Conversations with Junior Tax Advisor



I visited HR Block to file my tax returns on 02/08/2014. There happened a conversation between junior tax advisor(American) and me. It is interesting to recollect that one now.
Jr. Tax advisor (JTA) and Me.
JTA : How can I help you today? (formality)
Me: I want to file my tax returns and have to apply for an ITIN for my wife.
JTA: oh! Since I am junior, I can't approve the docs required to apply ITIN and I can't certify bla, bla bla..!
Me: Oh okay. What do I have to do now? (feeling confused)
JTA: No problem! I will reschedule this appointment with another senior tax advisor , who can do all the required things and he is an Indian too!! So, he can understand clearly what should be done. (she figured out that I am an Indian)
Me: That's great! ( Posing that she couldn't complete my request)
JTA : Which part of India are you from? (started questioning to pass the time while she was rescheduling my appointment)
Me: Southern India, Andhra Pradesh, in short AP. It is a state in India!
JTA: Oh! How many states are there?
Me : ( Clarified myself saying not 29, just 28 ) 28!!! (replied firmly)
JTA: We have 50!! (very strongly while others also looked us who were around us ) 50 States!! (she said again)
Me: Our leaders trying their best to reach your target!! (Said to myself and worried) .
Me : Yeah I know!! Do you know? Our leaders are trying to get out the 29th state!
JTA: Really?? But still we are way ahead!!

I smiled and left the conversation and brought her back to my tax conversation and left from there wishing good day ahead.

Dear POLITICAL leaders of my mother India!!.... Nothing!! Right now, I have neither anything to say nor anything to do for you. When change is inevitable, have to be prepared for the change!! ( Please don't hate me if it hurts anyone. It was all just a conversation that happened. Take it easy and live happy)

"1"

When I speak about Pythagorean theorem to an 2nd standard guy, will he understand? If I speak about the same thing to a 7th/8th standard guy or whoever is ready to understand what am I speaking about, then we both will be happy for making him to understand and for understanding what I said. In the first case, we both are unhappy because, I am neither saying it to a correct person nor he is matured enough to understand what I saying.

Same thing happens with a movie. If the movie is done creatively with nice thought process and to raise up the standards, it may not be understood by all the people who watch it. And here comes the fact, people understood will always appreciate it and the people who don't understand, will say on face,"VERY BAD", but they don't accept the fact and dare to say ,"I DON'T UNDERSTAND". If I ask such person, whether the movie is 'BAD' or 'YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND', what does he say? He will laugh and say, "How can a movie be good if it is not understood". Think about 1st situation, Pythagorean theorem, the 2nd standard guy is not matured enough to understand but do you say theorem is bad? If you point out that, similar to this situation, Director shouldn't have done a movie that it is not understandable to certain people, how far this is correct? Do we have to always set our standards low, always, comedy, godly hero behaviors, faction ism, etc.?

OK, finally here is my opinion, except the fact that a child running for miles and miles to reach his home after he boards off the school bus that too in London and a celebrity killing other influential people in their offices so easily, other things are logical and connected and clearly pictured. If anyone don't understand the movie, thing is, they are not matured enough to understand but it is not that movie is bad. Yes, I am talking about the movie '1-Nenokkadine'. I dare to say, "I like it and I understood it". I appreciate the great job done by Sukumar @aryasukku for direction and story line, Mahesh babu @urstrulyMahesh and #Kirtisanonfor his action, #Rathanvelu for cinematography, @14reelsofficial and @ErosNow for making this film, and all the crew of @1Nenokkadine
