Indian Navy

Everybody's dream: To travel around the world. Sounds great doesn't it? But here we are, unlike the Europeans and Americans, we're stuck with our obligations to our family and nation. SUckz. Don't get me wrong. I'm pro-family and not anti-govt. It's just that they limit our movements in certain directions that we want to go in life.

So there I was, sitting on da bus to Sentosa when this Indian navy guy in his smart white peak cap and sleak uniform sat beside me. I was bored. I looked at him and asked which navy they were from. Conversations started nicely and I was just so puzzled at what made him wanna join the navy.

ja: dude, how long have you been in da navy man?

indian navy: 10 years.

ja: 10 freaking years?! wow... so where have you been?

indian navy: nowhere. only singapore, mumbai. later, 3 days in indonesia, 3 days in malaysia

ja speaking in his heart: 10 years and you've only been to 3 freaking countries. faintz, fall off chair, concussed.

ja continuing with chat: ah! wonderful. thats great.

indian navy: you native here?

ja in his heart: native? i aint no orang utan. lol. cute fella.

ja: yes. i am native here.
ja: why did you join da navy?

indian navy: i like govt job, so i join.

ja: i dont like govt job. too many rules. i hate rules. you like rules?

indian navy: -nods head- but i dont think he knows what i meant.

ja: you married?

indian navy: yes. i have wife.

ja: thats great man. so how many times do you go back to your wife back home?

indian navy: once in 8 sometimes 12 months.

ja: ......

ja: and how long do you stay when you go back?

indian navy: 1 month to 3 months

ja in his heart: i pity da wife man.... now thats what i call a desperate housewife

i guess that's da price to pay if you wanna see da world. but don't follow this naval guy. he's working as a mechanical engineer. i've heard of navy officers who have been all around da world. i just wonder why this one got stuck in mumbai only. nvm.

OH. before i forget. I WANNA GO TO INDONESIA!!!! SOMEBODY SPONSOR ME PLEEEEEESE?
