Okalona falls in love with a telemarketer from India...


Cash,
Hope you’ve been keeping yer nose clean..
I‘ve been busy tryin’ ta get my bank statements reconciled since the IRS started an investigation into that traveling midget company I started in 2002.

Anyhow, just got off the phone with one of those telephone ladies from Citibank. Her name is Julie and she’s from India. If it’s possible to have love at first talk, then I suppose this be one of those cases. Once we got all the bank business cleared up, Jules and I’s got to talkin' and didn’t quit for almost 7 hours.

Turns out we have lots in common. For one, both of us like cereal. Also, people have a lot of trouble understandin’ us on the phone.

If you’re a high performin’ telemarketer in India, are you eligible to earn a higher class in the next life? Not knowin’ too much about those parts, I started reading up on India, but haven't gotten too far. I knows you did some work a while back in those parts, so I though maybe you’d know. Do you think telemarketers from India only marry other telemarketers from India?

Not to jump the gun, but I think I may be in love.

Later...

Okalona,

I think you're refering to the Caste system. The Indian caste system has been in use for many years. Still today the values of the caste system are held strongly. It has kept a sense of order, and peace among the people. There are five different levels of the system: Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and Harijans. Within each of these categories are the actual "castes" or jatis within which people are born, marry, and die. They all have their own place among each other and accept that it is the way to keep society from disintegrating to chaos. This system has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in modern India.

As to what caste system Julie falls under I have not idea. I’ll do a little research and get back to you. Be careful. After 4 marriages and 3 that involved women getting green cards, the INS might be a bigger headache than any audit you’re going through.
