Prof. Subedi, Its a simple situation. You applied for a visa and you were denied. There's no need to cry a river for it. No need to boast about what you did and did not do. I am sure each and every person in that line has a dream, a duty or a combination of two. If it was not that important to you as you put it, you wouldn't have shelled out the money and stood in that line. I hope money you get for writing the article cuts down a little on that expense of yours. And yes as someone has already pointed out, this is a case of sour grapes.
