Atal Loves You!

Being an immigrant isn’t the easiest of adventures in my life. I think the cost of life as an immigrant is underestimated. As a student, you are always running to find a company that can not only offer you an internship but also be open to sponsoring your visa And then once you have a job, you have to keep convincing the employer to sponsor your H1B visa. And then once you have your H1B visa, you...

You will find me passionately talking about immigrant rights. And in this passion, I will say a few things that would hurt your feelings. And in this heat of the moment, you will doubt my love for America. As I am extremely obsessed over my rights to liberty and freedom, this is only going to get intense. This is my commitment to the future of humanity and I don’t believe in leaving my loves ones...

I often get this question, on what is my plan B? I thought this is a good time to share how stoicism transformed my life. You might remember, 2 years ago, I used to read this book “The Daily Stoic” almost everyday to fight my depression. The book has 365 pages, and it has 1 month specific on “mortality” I used to fear death at that time, so initially I avoided reading those pages. But then I learn...

Day 2/60. H1B. I apologize to you on behalf of forefathers of America. I know human beings lose track of morals and ethics. This happens in power and greed. This happens when a few people control the future of humanity and human rights. And these people put profits over morality. I apologize to you on the current state of America. On behalf of American forefathers. So let me bring some insights fo...

Day 1/60 H1B. We are entering the golden age. The sun showed up and so did I. There is something unique about this time period. It makes me feel I am closer to death. it's an interesting kind of death. I don't think it's a death of dreams since I am feeling in full control of my dreams. I think it's the death of the conditional love that I received in America. Not from American people, they loved...

Life update. Day 0/60 on H1B. On March 18th, I submitted by resignation from my job at Businessolver. Today was my last day. Before I go into my story, I want to thank Businessolver. Businessolver was the best work experience in my life. I am going to write a separate blog on Businessolver. What makes the company truly unique and why the best people should join Businessolver. Now as I embark on th...

I am in a therapy session with myself. My Christmas message is "You are good enough" Therapy has got really expensive in this world. I do think therapy can solve some problems. You can pay someone you trust to walk you through your problems. In that journey of sharing your problems, you might understand how you can solve them yourself. But I don't think therapy can solve all problems. Some of the...

To find who you are? Yes, you need terrific humans to support and lift you up. You will get there, I promise, keep working hard. I have decided to share my life openly - talking about my depression, layoff, job search,...

My friend Rishab, dragged me to a hiking event yesterday, to socialize in the morning - the time when I rarely want to talk to anyone as I am in my own zone - practicing my morning rituals - writing, exercising, reading, listening to music, sharing gratitude, and having coffee. Being a new introvert in the world from being a big extrovert - meeting a lot of people together has been a little overwh...
