I could not help my own eyes from getting wet after the video. The numbness has overtaken the mixed emotion that was running throuhg my body. It is just sad n depressing to see such an awesome man getting killed. Adding to the irony is the fact that he was here to pursue his dreams, in hopes of a better life, for him , for his family, and probably for the whole of Nepal, just like many of us here.

I do not talk about any grand plans, or going straight towards the government about federal loans, or not comng to the US, but the only request i have to all the fellows in the same shoes is to avoid gas station jobs, or any other risky jobs for that matter. US is a great place, one can achieve limitless things under the American sky, do not risk the things that you could have achieved by working in gas stations. There are many alternatives, safer alternatives, try going to the hospitality business, hotels/motels: easy work, not so bad pay, on top u get to study at work.....work as servers, great pay n great for students, try call centre jobs, try working in a mall...

I am in dallas n have been here for past couple of years and i have worked the entire stay in a hotel as a front desk clerk, n it is great, believe me....i have gone through a lot of similar news and many in my neighborhood...n though it still hurts to see another friends dreams and body get shattered in a blink, i do not want to be adapted to the news...

Dont take my words for it, go try a different job, n save urself a life, ur life.
