I hope this is just a story. Too exaggerated, too forced, too contrived, too dramatic, that's how I felt reading through it. I remember reading the true story of that guy (forgot the name) in Nepal who recently burnt himself down because he was facing rejections, failure after failure and numerous betrayals and blah blah while he struggled for his existence. Reading his open letter was also quite dramatic and then reading this is also, no wonder, quite dramatic!
Usually, humans do not tend to dwell in negative emotions, experiences for long. Almost all of us like to forget our tragic past, failures. My Biology teacher told me the same thing, while learning about all those tough biology jargons. We will mug them up for exams and all but once the class is over, we forget those terminology because they gave us enough scare one time already. This is how human nature is, as he said. But this story is kind of opposing that idea. The main character 'Ankit' is constantly dwelling in the past and wailing in the present.
In reality, it is also quite logical to say that we let go of those kind of emotions that generate negativity. If we store all those stuffs in our brains, then this can clog our lifestyle itself, right? So reading this story is like the writer here is thinking of "all kinds" of tragedies that can fall on a single person. That is why it sounds too exaggerated and dramatic like some old Hindi movies. That person, Ankit should have moved on and looked for other opportunities that he seemed to have missed. Going to US, Canada, Qatar or wherever is not the only thing in life. He did not find the true calling of his life.
I left Nepal too because like I said, I was tired of Maobadis and Nepal Banda, Load shedding and some personal reasons. Had I not gotten the visa, I would have tried something there in Nepal itself. But looking back, I think I prepared my case so well that that the counselors could not deny my application easily. FYI I prepared my whole documentation everything myself unlike now when I see people are paying consultancies to prepare the application case for you.
But still will give some commendation to Xkabhre for pouring out all his frustrations of not being in US like this. Dude, get out of this zone, do something worthwhile for yourself if not for the country.
