An Open Letter to Pratistha

dyamn bro, I am in touch with lots of indians who ended up getting a good job and probably had better life than nepalese in terms of financial situations. But I completely disagree with your idea of Nepalese only coming to USA for masters or PHD program. To wat I have observed, hard work reaps success, and regardless of one's turbulent four years undergraduate program, if you can maintain your decorum, there are way more opportunities, probably more than after coming here after one's undergraduate. I am an undergraduate myself and I see all the graduate indian students. They themselves ask me and my friends, how easily we blend with American friends and American culture, which for them is an ordeal, cause they spent the "friendship-building" phase back home in India and only came here for "professionalRelation-building". I haven't worked at Estes park or ocean city, but I appreicate all my nepalese counterparts for having the courage to come to a foreign land to venture for a difficult but reaping career. About Pratistha, I would have been mad if I was her brother, but I am glad that she is back. To all my friends, guys watch out when you are working at places as such. Some of the places are really sketchy and we should learn to take care of ourselves.
