Bir Krishna,

Like your article. This is the story of the most of the aspiring students from Nepal who breed the same desire of making a good future for oneself in this so called land of opportunties, whatever but then go through some inexplicable scenarios. People are so naive and innocent before coming to this confounded place and then as the different situations start emerging, all those emotions like you said, "dar, rin, traas, dukha, pir" become the norms of the life. If we think back about our lives in Nepal, we find out that we were much fearless, 'debtless' (may be some had debts but not like the cerdit card mess or laon mess that takes forever to end), threatless, here we feel threats one after the other about anything be it immigration law, or be it status threats, or be it work threats, blackmailings, (mostly by jerks called Indians), sorry for Indian devotees people.

Life just becomes the cesspool of screwed up shits! Excuse my language there. But this is exaclty how people feel after going through all the never imagined situations. And to talk about the present so called 'recession' scene, everything looks pretty gloom and dreary. May be another thread can be devoted on that topic one day. As for ANA, it surely has not achieved the purpose to the level you have dared to showcase in this piece.The convention is not to forget and sleep over the tedious hours one meet in some Indian stores or gas stations, but may be it can serve a different platform, I second to some of your ideas. Kudos!

Life is cool, if you have that coveted green card in your sanctuary I guess, Rest of the people, just follow the confounded law in this country and hope the miracle will happen one day for every one of these restless souls. But hey, even the so called green card holders do not net a big fish either. Let us believe there are exceptions everywhere.

My conclusion about this country: Once you are in, you get stuck in the shits around. Neither can you run away, nor can you quit on your own, even if you want to. Screw this mess!
