I hope that this article gets published in Nepali newspapers. What is missing in this article is the life after years of dishwashing college days. After the hellish college life every international graduate in U.S has to go thourgh hunting companies who hire h1bs, then you have to get lucky to get h1b as it is lottery based. then you're a useful slave for few years and can live semi-decent life. Hopefully you'll get a green card one day and become permanent worker, which gives you little security. Now you can start your life. but till then it's very miserable, insecure and agonizing. even after you have a green card, you won't be left getting picked upon your accent and getting stared at or being rediculed. All this is because you're living in a foreign land and no matter how much you think it belongs to you after living here for years, it actually does not.

You belong to Nepal. You look like a Nepali, your accent is not funny it's just that you speak a different language. And you've been a vicitm of your own people who for bribes and corruption raped your dreams and  a privillage to live a decent life. now you're a slave to your ambitions in a foreign land. hopefully, one day you c an own a gastaion, liquor store, or motels like other successful immigrants and brag it to your less fortunate people back home. it's a sad story as being immirant has never been easy.

orrrrrrrrrrrr, it seems like you can do fake stuff, like doing fake marriage, fake political asylum, fake h1b through dhoti companies, fake application for green card as manager although you're working as a cashier for someone. and those fake people always tend to go above and beyong, being more socially secure and more finaincally stable. lol.

last option, you can study engeneering and hope to make some money.
