Ayush, thanks for the advise.. yes i agree with you.. oh yes, if you're exceptionally talented then hell there is no place like America. if youre extermly dumb too this is heaven because you can still survive and live with dignity which is not possible in a country like Nepal where it's dog- eat -dog competition society for money and power. but if you're a mediocre then you're doomed unless you get lucky . i finished my studies 5 years ago and  i have been working in a field related to my studies, so i am grateful but more than studies it's all my luck. most of my friends talented than me and who studied harder than me are struggling, have gone to canada or returned to Nepal.. and very few are here... i am not intersted in research field so i didn't just took up a major thining about future immigration, i chose whati liked.. .. i worked hard to finance for my school.. lot of my friends just picked engeneering or computer science because they could get scholorships . and they were good at begging.. I realized that all scholorships are  not given to exceptionally talented students.. it's 80 percent and more than luck you have go to be good at begging , nagging your prof etc.. America is good if you're exceptionally talented, if you got a green card while you were planning to come here on student visa, or planning to go malaysia or katar to work, or it's good if you don't have elderly parents or have brothers and sisters to look after them.. but if you have family responsibility and if you're not so talented and if you sole plan to sponsor youself is by working for Indians then it's going to be hell for you.. i've been there and i don't want anything to go through it.. with my hard work and friends and family back home i would have easily achieved what i have right now.. and would be happier living with my closed ones...i just want to warn younge kids coming on student visa working in estes park, ocean city , gasstations to be careful and be smart because while you're busting your balls times is moving and you may miss out a lot in life .. trust me i like your inspiration.. i'm glad to know that a younge Nepali like you is so focused and hopeful.. but think about you , if a person like you who came with a green card in his pocket is having tough time finding a job then how hard could it be for students who can't even work..  my whole point is not to say life is America sucks, i  love it here, i just want youngesters to be warned who plan to come on student visa and no scholorship or sponsorship...
