"You are lying to me. I don't believe you. India isn't how you described it to me - a number of small villages with thatched huts, men wearing Dhotis and turbans and lot of dry land all around" said Stephen to Ryan
"I am not lying to you Stephan. That is how India is. Trust me. I was there two months back and not years back." replied Ryan
"How do I trust you? Sameer has just sent this picture along with other pictures of Gurgaon in India and it is no where close to what you told me!" countered Stephan, thrusting the photograph under the nose of Ryan.
"Gurgaon is an illusion, my friend and not a true representation of India. It is a cocoon of corporate houses, career-ladder climbing white collared workers with six figure salaries, a real-estate fair where every day each one claims to be a building taller than the previous one and a society more beautiful than anyone built before. If you want to see the true and various hues and dimensions of India, then you just need to go 100km away from Gurgaon in any direction. Don't fall for this illusion that Sameer is showing you, to get you to invest those hundred million dollars in his company." spoke Ryan with a knowing smile.
