The guide replied 20 years. The American desi remarked You guys are lazy, in America we can build some thing like this in 5 years.
At Red Fort in Dehli he asked the same question. The guide reduced the period to impress him and said Ten years.
Only ten years The American Desi retorted: Did not I say you guys are slow workers! In America we could have built it in 2 1/2 years.
Same story everywhere. He admired the places but reduced the period to 1/4th.
The guide got irritated by this young American Desi. Next day when they were near Qutab Minar the American Desi asked what is that tower? The guide replied I will have to go and find out. When I was passing by this side last evening there was nothing here.
