Currently, the OPT program enables talented graduate students to work in the US for a period after they graduate. Eliminating this program will cause graduate students, with newly minted PhDs, to be forced to leave the US, hurting US competitiveness.
As everything slowly begins to sink-in, and after finally getting some sleep last night, I wanted to share a small personal note…✍️
The first call I made after Vikram-1 successfully reached orbit was to my Dad.
He is the man who made my journey possible—with dreams for me far bigger than the ones I had for myself, and by simply never giving up on me.
Until my 8th standard, I was a bad student. I scored 51 marks in Maths and even failed another subject. Back then, I could never have imagined that I would one day make it to an IIT—or have the privilege of contributing to India’s first privately developed rocket reaching orbit, making India only the third country in the world to achieve this.
When I called him after the launch, he just cried.
And cried.
He couldn’t speak a single word.
But I understood every word he couldn’t say.
I managed to hold back my tears when Vikram-1 reached orbit. But somehow, writing this, I can’t.
Thank you, Dad. ❤️
And a big shout-out to every dad who dreams big for their children—and never gives up on them. 🙏
P.S. A picture with Dad from one of my birthdays after starting @SkyrootA.
One of my friend Rob Milnes from charlotte nc does this for kids for free. Anyone share for kids who would benefit. These are really very nice and kids love it.
