Well it is pretty obvious that the ones who did not have to get any off campus experience are going to criticize the one who had the privilige of getting some of that real american experience..but who cares,,nepali dhani bau ko chora choriharu ko jatai tyasto ho,,,aaru lai tala dekhauna payo bhane aafu k k na bhayo bhanthancha.. Well another fact is that who said that Indians dont work outside school..they do,,but they know the loopholes,,work in malls,gas stations, motels (desi owned) where no one ask them for their SSN before issuing them a pay (on cash- no tax)..and most of those employers are migrants from our neighboring nation. I have seen Chinese and Malaysians work their ass off as well,,the only exceptions to this are the Japanese as far as I have noticed,,for whom USA is probably no better than their own place,,, less paying and what not,,well another fact is that indians are no smarter than nepalis,,some may be ,,but most of them are products of good networks of seniors, who furnish them from day 1 (starting from settling down in USA) with old course materials, old exam papers, and solutions,,solutions to the assignments and they do get repeated..and this network thing continues even till the point where they get recruited for jobs after graduation (even the recruiters are indians in most of the cases--esp in software they take people like crazy irrespective of their background and ...)and they get it relatively easier than others with all good references,, but nepali haru chai khutta tanne kaam garyo,,toyota camry and honda civic kinera danga parera basyo,,tyai ho,,and yeah majority of indians dont come for undergrad.. yestai ho,,it might sound out of context,,it was some 6 years back I attended one of those "educational conference" over in hotel soaltee, where those representatives (business people) from some colleges here in USA came over with the displays of their schools,,they had all kinds of attractive things like free laptop for each student and bla bla bla and most of the schools had their fees ranging merely $25grands a year..and they were willing to confirm one's admition right away the very next day on the spot, if one could provide doc of financial support which is nothing more than a bank statement, and they had options like ,,if someone does not have TOEFL taken or have unacceptable scores,,they can go and take english classes at their college and it will be ok after that..(WTF)..One of the old gentleman, who looked no different than a prof. said in his speech "in USA no international student is allowed to work off campus, but everyone does it, so it is ok" and I can never forget that sentence ( of course i did not know how grave an issue was it until I came here and understood the things like deportation and legalities--tyo budho ko chak ma laat (or sisnu pani) hannu parne).. anyway there are still crooks in nepal with educational consultancies who claim to get I20 and visa for students and gurantee admission in schools here, ,",no TOEFL ,,,no problem,,just pay us $1500 and everything will be fine" that's their motto (as if sending people in gulf) and I feel amazed when students and ( moreover ktm ko dhani parents) dont think twice for heading into such things..and chora chori USA gayo bhanera danga parera bascha..it amazes me,,I came for master's and things went without a hassle,,i had a faint idea about how things were going to be after coming here,,and it was indeed like that,,I even feel remorse towards those people in American Cetre over in KTM,,who are no good to be kept there(esp that middle aged lady) but act as if they know all the nuts and bolts about education in USA.. I do feel bad when things like this come across nepalis,,and feel why dhotis are so blessed in this matter
