H1b is a curse on humanity!! Its new form of salve system runs by lobbyists and corporations. Such news will increase in coming months…2024 is heading to a big recession and war!!
Filed an #eb5 case last week. It weighed 45lbs! Sad part is @USCIS will spend forever scanning it in rather than having some kind of competent online filing system. Again, we prep these as PDFs and print them so they can turn them to PDfs. Not exactly environmentally friendly eh?
I graduated from INSEAD in 2015.
[1] One of my batchmates founded a Unicorn (in Europe)
[2] 100+ ended up garnering wealth in excess of a 3Mn$+ each in the last 10 years (through jobs)
[3] At least (20 folks) I know did not go through the job route. But, profitable startup route. And, generated in excess of 10Mn$ in the last 10 years.
I had the pleasure of knowing these people. I still talk to many of them on one-on-one basis.
3 things stood out for me about these wealth builders.
[1] They are EXTREMELY comfortable leaving their comfort zone.
- They are okay shifting countries/firms for professional growth.
- They are not scared of doing hard things. Or learning new things.
[2] They are EXTREMELY focused. They know what they want. And, they go for it.
- Many of my friends were startup guys, wanted to shift to consulting
- Worked hard. Got into Consulting
- Then quit to do a startup again
This might look confusing to the external world.
But, it is NOT.
This is called as "segmented" focus.
You focus on 1 thing, ace that. Move onto the next.
Excelling at something gives you confidence to do more amazing things subsequently.
[3] They have EXTREMELY good judgement.
- Whom to trust, what career move to make, how much risk to take etc
- Can't be taught. There is no course on this.
- But, this aspect of your life is going to impact you THE MOST.
Good judgement comes from making harder and harder decisions.
Sometimes you might be wrong.
You will learn from it.
This will improve your odds of eventually being right about things.
Point is: building self-made wealth is tough. It takes a combination of skills.
If you are young listening to this: be accountable for your own development.
You will get there if you are a hardworking. And, willing to learn and improve.

The iMobile app which seems to have been updated recently needs IOS 17. Lots of folks use iPhones which cannot update to IOS 17. This sudden change without notice is causing problems. Why was this done without notice pls ?
Wait is not 10 years for citizenship. Wait is for lifetime to get even basic freedom to change employers and travel.
I hope more people like Ron speak up against how the best of the best skilled workers are restricted based on their country of birth. #RemoveCountryCap

Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go. Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him until his aircon kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket, or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grandparents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time, they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is fucking confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a shit about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.

I joined high-skilled immigrants from India as we marched to the Texas Capitol to raise awareness of the unfairness in America’s immigration system. People always tell immigrants to just get in line. But when the line is 100 years long for some but not for others, why bother?
@davidvolodzko I am sorry for your experience in india . For whatever it is worth , pls accept my sincere apologies. Hopefully , with time & education levels and govt. getting tough things should get better ! Guess the bazar/ streets is the problem . thankfully corporate life is ok . 😥
Good to see the young dynamic future legal enables hold their own against the legacy establishment. The sad part of this sordid drama of Raheja builders is using legal luminaries to obfuscate & harass home buyers. Political leaders should know better than defend the indefensible!
We extend our gratitude and congratulate @A_Parolia & the PSP legal team for making poignant arguments & holding their own against the might of @salman7khurshid who defended Navin Raheja of @RahejaDevelopers in 60 execution matters pending before NCDRC for the past 18 months. 🙏🏽
We live in a world, where making money is becoming much easier than saving money.
[1] People are able to build multiple income streams.
[2] Raise money faster.
[3] Build distribution and scale.
The success stories are inspiring, no doubt.
But, please understand that the timeline to success/failure is also shrinking.
It might feel great to be a YouTube sensation at 25.
But, sustaining that success even for 10 years is going to be extremely hard.
Our careers are a marathon, not a sprint.
Very few billionaires in the world, completely quit and retire on an island. Money for most becomes irrelevant after a point.
As humans, we always strive to find meaning through our work.
A better way of thinking about careers NOW is: to divide it into an 'exponential phase' and a 'stable phase'.
While entrepreneurship, risk taking helps you scale up new heights during the exponential phase. Traditional things like college education (good ones) & brands provide stability.
In a highly competitive world, designing a career is getting complicated. Finding meaning through your work is even harder.
You need every tool in your toolkit: so excel where-ever you can.

Pls help review this utterly irresponsible , incompetent , & complete lack of a process organisation ie Care insurance. They keep sending remainders for refund & ask NEFT details. Even after several mails they just don’t acknowledge and are ignorant !
This message is a 10th remainder from care insurance asking for my NEFT details. I have replied 10 times with cancelled cheque , NEFT details and also that details sent. After initial harassment for policy cancellation, this is another joke by useless CARE INSURANCE. God bless!

@careinsuranceIN

According to a 2012 RTI filing, there were 8 Lakh people with more than 1 Cr in Agriculture income, who paid ZERO taxes in India.
[1] 1% farmers in India own more than 10 hectare of land. And, they are by no standards poor.
And, as per a paper by the erstwhile Planning Commission, if we could tax even 0.04% richest farmers, it would generate 50,000 Cr of tax gains.
[2] This money is enough to run the MGNREGA scheme for a year.
This post is not against farmers.
It is about getting the rich to pay their fair dues.
[3] It doesn't make much sense why a normal corporate employee making 25K/month should be carrying the burden of taxes for Crorepati farmers.
Widening the tax base would not hurt the government's revenues.
And, it would improve the life of a normal tax payer.
But, guess how many political parties are talking about it?
Share it with others to help yourself.
JUST IN: With Americans losing complete trust in the mainstream media, "The New York Times lost $30-40 million in 2023, cutting 74 jobs; WaPo lost $100 million, cutting 240 jobs; The LA Times just laid off 115 journalists—22% of its newsroom. The Atlantic is still unable to turn a profit, and NBC just slashed 75 jobs," @ggreenwald notes.
NOTE: Nobody is rejoicing over this, but when people lose trust in you, you can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
NOTE: Meanwhile, although I'm still a bit below my target of reaching 30 million people daily, at 10 a.m. EST, my posts had already generated about 13 million views and nearly 30,000 comments today (attachment below). The day is still young, but it means people would rather read trustworthy individuals like me than those they have lost trust in—those who look down on them, disparage them daily, and ask for no feedback.

The TL;DR if you're bumped from your flight:
1. For delays under 2 hours (domestic) or 4 hours (international), you get up to $775
2. For longer delays, you get up to $1,550
3. Ask for amenities like food, hotel, etc if needed
4. Get names of airline staff and document everything
5. Call customer service to request compensation
6. If they refuse, file a complaint with the DoT
Happiness:
[1] Sleeping on time
[2] Working with focus for a few hours (gives purpose)
[3] Getting free time to pursue your hobbies
[4] Investing your money well. And, not worry about money.
[5] Saying NO to unnecessary social obligations.
[6] Cutting out toxic people.
[7] Not debating politics with others (especially followers of any political party).
[8] Travelling when and where you like.
[9] Taking time off from work.
10] Spending time with family and friends.
[11] Smiling often. And, being a positive person.
[12] Working on your legacy: having a very clear answer-- how will people remember you, once you are gone. And, working towards that purpose everyday.
