Overheard in an Indian household #7 - Time to buy land on moon

A son wanted to shift to the US for a job change but his father was not willing to let him relocate.

Son: Pitaji main iss job ke liye America jaana chahta hoon. (Daddy, I want to shift to the US for this job.)

Father: Beta America plane se jaoge. Aajkal kitne plane crash ho rahe hain. Kitne aatankvadi khulle ghoom rahe hain. Main tumhen nahin jaane doonga. (You will go to the US by plane my son. You see, how many planes are getting crashed these days and these terrorists. I won't let you go to the US.)

Son: Oh ho pitaji. Duniya chand par pahunch gai hai aur aap abhi bhi wohi purani baatein karte ho. (Daddy, the world has reached to the moon and you are still talking the older things.)

Father: Toh beta ek kaam kar. America kee zid chhod aur chand par zameen le le. Yahan to bahut mehangi ho gai hai zameen, ab wahin ke rate badhenge. (Son, I think instead of shifting to the US you should buy a plot of land on the moon. The rates of land are too high in India, now the prices will increase on the moon.)
