Chapter 1 - America! Here I come!
The Consular Officer signaled me to come forward. I stood in front of her, wet disheveled hair, water still dripping from my hair.
Chapter 2 - University
I slowly began to lose my composure and distanced myself from other people. I rarely came out of my room in my apartment.
Chapter 3 - 911… Cops…
I never thought I would have to call 911 within 6 months of being in the country.
Chapter 4 - Crush
The fear of hurt was much stronger than the pleasure of happiness. I really liked…
Chapter 5 - On the road
That was the worst. To get caught in the middle of the desert, in the middle of the night, with a busted tire.
Chapter 6 - Becoming a "Software Engineer"
That gave me a jolt! I didn’t know what he meant by “Get out!”. Am I fired? Did he just fire me? My throat choked.
Chapter 7 - Working in the USA
The body that I had built over the past few years slowly crumbled in front of my eyes. The bones had started to become visible.
Chapter 8 - A call from the soul
I spent a few days in Rishikesh, wandering around in bliss. Life began to get clearer.
