One day, I’ll wake up, pack my things, sell my car, and head back home.
Till then—why not roam around the U.S.?

[Utkarsh Khandelwal @utkarsh52]

Whole week I think about selling my car and then whole weekend I want a faster car 😆🤣

Have been hiding whole life, and now my skip manager is suddenly like be more visible. That's not me.

[Utkarsh Khandelwal @utkarsh52]

So, I got a pretty interesting phishing/scam call today. It followed exactly this script:

https://t.co/C65sa5YB8qι_india_scam/

Pretty embarrassing to admit, but I did share an image of the front page of my passport.

And that was it. After almost 2 hours on the call, I finally hung up. I was already in the office and had skipped two meetings because of this.

They kept threatening me that if I disconnected the call, it would mean I was "not cooperating" and therefore complicit in some money-laundering case.

Eventually, I was like, fuck it, and hung up.

I searched the numbers they had called me from to see whether they actually belonged to the police or the Consulate General of India. I also called @IndiainNewYork directly, and they confirmed that it was a scam and they have an Alert already an alert about this exact kind of scam on their website.

The scammers kept calling afterward, but I didn't pick up.

I immediately called home, and their response was basically: "You live in a trust-based society right now, but you aren't from one. So why would you even entertain these calls. Fair enough 😅

I then messaged the scammers on Teams saying that I'd reported them to the NYPD.

That's when things got interesting.

They called me back and started hurling abuses at me in full Hindi. The kind of vocabulary you'd normally only hear in a boys' hostel 😂. They even keep on insisting that the "authorities" were going to take me into custody.

So yeah, wasted a whole 2 hours of my morning on this.

Attaching whatever documents/messages I got from them in case it helps someone recognize the scam before getting sucked into it.

I still don't know exactly how they planned to eventually extort money from me.

My mom feels emotions to high extremes, while I feel the exact opposite. It makes me feel guilty most of the time. Maybe guilty is the only thing that I can feel.

Now boarding -- #KhajurahoAirport into top customer-ranking slot, without any flights. The airport in the #MadhyaPradesh town - recently ranked India's top airport in the Airports Authority of India's latest Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) - has produced a surprising result: it has no commercial flights operating during July and Aug.

Modiji spent crores of tax payer money over 12 years to get children to love him. They are roasting him alive.

Shivling in the fridge has begun drawing devotees from far and wide. This Agra house is all set to be declared a temple.

I just realised, nobody in the West really asks "What's your father" as smalltalk even to a kid. This is exclusively Indian and may be related to casteism.

[Utkarsh Khandelwal @utkarsh52]

Thanks to my Mom, Dad and sister. Back to square one.

Airports really need to reach a consensus on whether we’re leaving laptops in the bag in the security line.

Education is up shit creek, sporting nation & khelo India bhool jao. Cos we are governed by losers who neither read nor play sport. They think temple visits and ignorant bombast is an achievement. Starts from the top.

Was thinking of getting a new bike but now it doesn’t make sense at all.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply.

This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.

The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

Never go on a trip with people who don’t share the same energy level as you. You can’t be whining about a one km walk man come on
