I was born in Vile Parle, Bombay, India where I grew up and was educated
for my first 25 years. I got my break with the SEEPZ export zone
companies in Andheri, Bombay in 1989 who send me on my first US assignment
in 1990. Since then I came to US twice and then stuck to my guns the third
time in 1992. Through an intricate lawyer assisted complex process, I got
my H1 (work permit), green card and citizenship in the USA.
Today as I look back at all my efforts and the hard times that I had to go through to immigrate to the US --- they were all worth it. I am proud to be an American and I can say I have worked hard to earn it. My children cannot say the same, as they got it for FREE, even before I did, just for being born in the USA. I am happy to say they are growing up in a mixed culture, with good support of advanced technology and adaptation of family values/morals while exercising moderation in good decision making even with all the freedom that they have in US free society. |
Many of my friends express an interest in the number of exotic species that we live with in our home in NC. Here is a preview to give you an idea. |
