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)
